I have so many wonderful memories of my Mom,
so many little things that make me think of her...
I hope my daughter will have the same...
She likes to sit on my lap when I sew...
But more than that she loves to 'snip'!
Crazy, but true, I trust her to 'snip' the chain threads
on my quilts and blocks.
Start them young! :o)

I have been trying to get another UFO to flimsy stage.
These are the blocks laid out for Bonnie Hunter's
Criss Cross Applesauce pattern
from her book: Scraps & Shirttails II
And here is the top
(without borders)
laid out over my sewing machine.
The snowy and wet weather is not great for photos,
but I'll get one soon I hope.

I'm also trying to get another UFO finished.
This is my BQL Ostrich started in 2006.
I started hand quilting this years ago
and I had contemplated finishing it on my Longarm machine,
but I'm just sitting in front of the TV in the evenings
adding a few stitches to it as and when I can.
Hopefully it will get done soon
because I remember now why I don't like hand quilting!!!
