is it over yet?

The last project I finished in 2011 was this little zippered pocket for DD#1's new Kobo. She reads unceasingly and brings a stack of books with her everywhere. Hopefully this little gadget will help. It was a fun little project to make and she helped pick the fabric for it as well. It sure had been a long time since I made anything with a zipper in it!


This little stack of blocks is for the Pink Lemonade doll quilt quilt-a-long that Lori is hosting. This is the 3rd one of her quilt-a-longs that I have participated in. It's a fun little project to start the year off with.


I am also back to working on my Bird of Paradise quilt. I drew the first of my own blocks and started appliqueing it on the weekend.

I finished my first panel of the trailing vines quilt. A friend suggested that I make a collage picture to show it as it is too long and skinny to take a good picture of. I need to get her to help me because I have no idea how to make a picture like that. Hopefully I can post about it in the next few days.

Happy Quilting!!

Your appliqué is beautiful!

Judging by your title I'm guessing you are glad to be this side of Christmas! Me too!

I'm sure she will love her e-reader...I was a very reluctant convert but now marvel at the fact I have over 100 books available in my pocketbook just in case....

Great tablet cover and your blocks for Lori's quilt along look great - I must start that!
I'm looking forward to seeing the vine when you get it photographed.
