I'm finished with flannel.....

Dear Hubby's flannel quilt top is finally together.  It was a struggle.  No points match.  It shifted a lot.  I pinned a lot.  And it's finished.  It's the last quilt I plan on making out of flannel.

 

Except for the quilting .....but that's for another day.

February Charming Girls AND Guys .....

The name has changed but the plan is the same.  Here is my plan for the month of February.

Number 1

Finish Dear Hubby's flannel top that I didn't finish last month.  It's killing me to cut off all those points because of my bad cutting 5 years ago. I'm just going to sew with my eyes closed and work my way through it!

Number 2

Quilt the Hidden Stars that I finished back in November (?).  I would like to give it for a gift in March.  I already have the backing.

 

Number 3

I was supposed to take a class two Saturdays ago but had to cancel due to the situation with my father-in-law.  I was supposed to have it cut out before class started.  I got most of it cut out but after talking with the teacher and seeing some of the other quilt tops, I decided that my lights weren't light enough.   So project number 3 to finish is to cut approximately 300 more pieces of the light fabrics again.  I will have no problem using the other lights for another project.

Thoughts of Christmas - Row 5.....

This is Row 5 of my "Thoughts of Christmas" BOM and one of my challenges for this month's Charming Girls Quilt Club. 

Only 6 more months to go!

Who would have thought that 26° in the morning would have felt right balmy?  Not so terribly bad this morning.  Better than most but not what we're used to. 

Hope you are all staying warm.  I have a pork roast in the crock pot with some garlic and leeks so we can have burritos for dinner tonight.  The house smells daggum delicious!

My Gift Certificate order has arrived.....

You may remember from an earlier post, I won the Charming Girls Quilt Club Challenge for the month of December .... a gift certificate from Kelly's shop!  It didn't take long for me to pick out what I wanted.  I already had a Snibbles pattern that I wanted to make.  I ordered the Wicasset charms and yardage.  Don't they look yummy?

Take a good look at the picture.  It will probably show up again soon as another Charming Girls Challenge.  This month is all booked!

PS. Note in the picture in the top-right corner......that would be grass out the window for those of you that forget what it looks like. teehee....sorry, just had to throw that in.

Blessings, Cathi
