Happy belated New Year 2016


I haven't posted for quite sometime because I forget to.  I did make and complete a couple of projects for Christmas gifts.  I quilted the Mexican Star top and gave it to Nicole for Christmas because it was purple and I made a Winter Wreath tablerunner for Ruth my hairstylist.  Job well done for a change.  Forgot to take pictures of them of course.


I have some customer quilts to complete but Christmas, my mother's frequent hospital visits, appointments and my rotten cold have thrown me for a loop and I can't imagine ever getting caught up.  

My DM has been panelled for a spot in a personal care home, yeah.  She will hopefully get a spot by the end of the summer, then clearing out if all of her junk begins.

I have to say that I am so glad I did not do the mystery quilt this time around.  I knew I was going to be too busy and when the colours were announced I knew that I did not want a quilt in red, gold, gray, black and neutral.  The quilt revealed is quite hideous.  I like most of the ones that did not use her colour choices so much better because I do not like red and gold together unless green is there to neutralize the combo.  Eggs and ketchup, yuck.  Happy I did not waste my time.  I am hoping she will come up with an autumn coloured quilt for the mystery one year.  I will keep my fingers crossed.

I wrote to the company that distributes self threading needles because there usually is only one needle in each package that doesn't shred the thread and I could not find it in the package I had.  Well, they kindly sent me all of the loot in the photo following.  Lucky me.  I will never run out, I hope.

That is it for me.

Happy quilting.
