Thank you, you have just made my day : ) .....sometimes even I need to be
reminded that it WILL get done .

You are an inspiration Butterfly. Rather than give up on quilting
altogether
you just plug away at it safely, and you do finish! Now, if you can make
quilts in 10-15 minute increments at a time, then what stops anyone else
from sneaking those few minutes from a day and finishing as well?

This has been a year of 'low concentration' for me so I was pleased to be
able to get the I Spy quilts done. Haven't looked at the *One For Me*
other
than have it sitting OUT where I can see it : ) Brings a smile and a
happy
memory everytime I see it (I had help picking out the background
fabric: )
Have one more 'baby quilt' to make (due date is Jan) and then DD's
airplane
one (as soon as she sends me the 2 blocks that she is working up) then I
can
go back to 'Me'.
Hope you continue asking every month--not just ending it now..please...

Well, how have we done this year? I thought I'd get more done than I
have....but you know, it's been a lot of fun. I'm that much closer to
having more quilts in my house, and I've loved hearing about your
progress
as well. I got the majority of the machine quilting done on DH's blue
star banner quilt over Thanksgiving, and sill have some yet to go, but
i'm
pleased, nonetheless.

I meant to do a quilt every month but I got sidetracked. I did destruction
and construction on the Cushing cottage -- still have a wall to build and
kitchen cabinets to install. And worked at his victorian cottage during the
fall.

BUT I did do 2 bricks and blocks quilts from swap fabrics and got them hand
quilted. I called them stepping stones in my flower garden because all the
colored 'bricks' are flowers. He has the one from the cottage and I have
the queen size one.

I've finished several small pieces to sell at a craft show next week. I
posted pix of odds and ends at

So now I'm back at homequilting up a storm during the cold weather.

This year's quilt-for-me is "Peach Roses." The photo is of the quilt top;
since then it has been professionally quilted and I've used it.

Someone posted a message saying she had four quilts for every bed in the
house. She rotated them seasonally. That sounded good to me, and Peach
Roses is the first.

I can certainly do that if you wish, Butterfly! It will keep that project fresh in
my mind, at the very least.

Oh good! I think another just for me quilt is in order. Maybe the Christmas
one that was supposed to be a block of the month type that stalled after 4
blocks and less months!

Thanks. I enjoy looking at everyone's quilts. I get so many ideas from
what others have done.

That's really pretty Nann - I love the colour scheme.
My 'quilt(s) for me will have to wait until next year - too many demands
this past year; but a good quilty one nevertheless.

I've gotten no further than to get the Confetti quilt top assembled--no
borders yet. Life has been a busy whirl, with overtime at work taking way
too much of my time. Hoping for a Quilt For Me in 2005.
