WIP Wednesday

Ok; I'm getting too old for the weeks to go by so quickly!! Don't you find it is usual winter that drags along?
Anyway, another week gone, and I have bee fairly busy. The quilt I showed you last week is just about half quilted...and I've been in the sewing room a bit. So; working at it anyway...lol

My works in progress; 5 quilt tops to hand quilt
                                    the quilt in the frames now
                                    the projects for Feb's Blog Hop
                                    the Modern Triangle QAL
                                    the FMQ Challenge
Lots of do and hoping that when I finish this commissioned quilt, I will get at some on this list.

Here is a pic of what is going on with the Modern Triangles QAL: Ready to start putting things together.
I am linking up to Lee and   Monika; hope you will visit some of the blogs and see their lovely work.

Love the Mailman!!

Was a beautiful day here today...sunny and very nice temp. We walked in the woods this morning...had lunch; then came the mailman.....my day got even better!! The fabric I won over at Michelle's arrived.

You gotta love it! Thank you so much Michelle love it.

Modern Triangle QAL

This isn't a large QAL so I should be able to keep up with it..and gives me a nice break from hand quilting...my wrists are tired. When they're tired they ache; I know, I'm telling my age...lol. No matter...

It's not too late to join this QAL if you like. We are just starting to cut and piece things together....and it will be quick. So; here are the colours I chose for mine. It is suppose to be scrappy; but, I plan to put this on my kitchen table...so I wanted it to go with the room decor. So; I just have a few different fabrics...and we will see how it turns out. fingers are crossed...lol.

If you would like to take part; or simply see what is going on or who else is in on it....just go here. There is a list on the sidebar of us taking part.
