A New Start

My blogging friends, Juliann and Lori are starting new quilts, so I thought I should join in!

We are sewing our own versions of the Lincoln Museum Quilt.

Since I don't love working with plaids or homespun fabric, I decided to use this fabric I had purchased to make a quilt, but never got it started.

I have several blocks completed. I will need 28 star blocks

and 28 sixteen patch blocks. 

2017

Wow! The year has slipped by so quickly and I have been very remiss in posting about my quilting.
I have been sewing, but mostly have focused this year on our outdoor adventures.

I have recently started working on some languishing UFO's. I like to do handwork when we travel. On the way home from the Grand Canyon in November, I finished this candle mat for my mother in law. I had been making a set for her with one for every month. This one some how ended up unfinished until now. I gave it to her yesterday.

Tonight I finished this one! Now she has a complete set of 12. 

I'll try to be a better blogger. Stay tuned for some more finishes. I just have binding to go on several quilts!
