Tell me all about it....lol. I have done all but vacation...shoot!! How did I miss that one?? Hope to go to Mexico in March...fingers are crossed again..didn't go away past 2 years..I am due.......Now; works in progress: never mind those quilt tops waiting to be hand quilted. They have a long wait right now. So; as of now...I finished quilting the sampler I did for a lady; remember; I took a pic of it just started 2 weeks ago?? Well; here it is now; on the right...................

And I have the next one in the frames and just a little quilting done on it now...This is a Dear Jane quilt top; going to take awhile; I think...tiny little pieces; lots of seams ......lol. That is it above.....

I am also piecing the sweetest quilt top for a little girl....not going to show any of it yet....but oh it is adorable.
I'll wait til I have more of it done up...

So; I guess that is it for me this week...make sure you run on over to Lee at Freshly Pieced and see what is going on with everyone else..It is a very busy place you know.
