I have been sewing like a whirlwind....but I can't show any pictures......Bummer. You'll just have to take my word for it. I have a quilt in the hoop that is actually a "customer" quilt. This is pretty remarkable since I don't do quilting for other folks.....I don't feel my skills are worthy of compensation. But a fella from my home town asked me really nice if I would make a baby quilt for his new grandbaby. He sometimes sends me some of his good food that he makes for the deli so I could hardly refuse. He wanted to pay me for making it, but I told him I would only charge him for the material... I'd trade the quilting for more food! I also warned him that he shouldn't expect stellar work, but it would be a baby quilt nonetheless. I'll post a picture once it is done.
I also have a couple of surprises for Christmas in the works and I can't show pictures till after Christmas. I am excited about them. I have enjoyed working on them. I think I have gotten my quilting mojo back.....if I ever had one, that is! Anyway, I am looking forward to once again planning to finish UFO's in 2011. I am going to make a list of them, which will be more than embarrassing. But I am going to post the list and maybe I will feel more accountable, and be more inspired to try to get some marked off. We'll see.I have also had several days of enjoyable time with the grands. They keep me tired and smiling. They are just so much fun to have around. I spend most of the time watching their antics and listening to them jibber-jabber to each other. You never know what you are going to hear!
So....I'm headed back to the sewing room.....wish me luck!
Blessings, Becky
