Olympic break

With the opening ceremonies of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics starting tomorrow, I will be glued to the TV for the next 2 weeks. Since my fingers need something to work on while watching all the play-by-play activities, let me see what will get worked on ....

Marking my red/white challenge quilt and hopefully it can get sandwiched and a bit of hand quilting done ....This little hanging just needs the borders hand quilted and binding put on .....

My Pressed Flowers need borders and applique applied .....

A few more stars added to this top ....

That should do it nicely! See you in 2 weeks ....
Go Team Canada, go!!!!

Getting close ....

Now that my Dresden Plate quilt is getting so close to being finished ..... just one more border to do ..... I have to find something to keep myself occupied during the upcoming Olympics starting Feb. 12. In this battered old trunk ....

.... are all my tops (with their backings). Which one should I hand quilt next? I have never had so many tops completed at any given time, so this will be difficult to decide. Oh, decisions, decisions ......


I do have a finish .... a pair of knee high socks. These were finished last winter and all that was needed to be done was weave in all yarn ends and those got done lickedy split and they are now keeping my toes toasty warm .

Enjoy your day!
