OK, I have stopped whimpering ……in the scheme of things this is not a biggie!!! So moving on!
There are a couple group deadlines I am just squeaking in under the wire….. The Simply Charming
Mini quilt along, and Christmas Through The Year. Happy to say my mini is done, including the quilting and binding!!!!!. I used scraps left over from a quilt I made a number of years back, from the line, Old Fashioned Charm. I will be linking up over at Kathy’s for this finish. Thanks to Kathy and Darlene for this fun quilt along, and a big shout out to Darlene for cheering me on in more ways than I can say!!!!!! Kim has a link up for projects finished this month for the Christmas
Through The Year group. I quickly whipped up a couple oven mitts (above photo). It feels good to have my Christmas box with a few things tucked in there already. Thanks Kim for continuing on with our group!
Yesterday was my meet up with my friend Lani!!! So fun. There’s a quilt shop halfway between us (about a 1 1/2 hour drive). Of course there is a quilt shop involved!!!….. Quilt N’ Things in Montrose, and then lunch at our favorite Mexican food restaurant. Talking was the best part of the whole day, and we covered so much!!! Love you to pieces Lani. You have always been such a good, constant friend to me. La
ni brought along some show and share, and we had ourselves a trunk show in the back of her car!! These first two quilts she made for a charity group…
so cute and two lucky little ones will be happy to have them. Then there’s this parade of beauties…..WOWZERS!!! I love each and every one. We are planning a quilt getaway weekend at her cabin in the woods….I can’t wait.
Thanks to my friends Chris and Karen for quilting my Quilts of Valor quilt, I am happy to report it is all done. I finished the binding yesterday afternoon. This quilt was made up fr
om swap blocks I received through a Prodigy quilt exchange 15 years ago.
Now on to fixing my blog!!!! Happy end of the week everyone.

A great blog post - woohoo!!!! Love your mini quilt and oven mitts. Way to go!
Lani's quilts are beautiful. I'm so glad you met with her and had a fabulous time.
Love your mini, I choose the same challenge / pattern as gift !
Your mini is wonderful. Perfect contrast between the lights and the darks!
Love your Simply Charming quilt and those oven mitts are beyond wonderful! What a wonderful post! I'm so happy that you had such a great visit with Lani! Life is GOOD!
I love your mini quilt! The colors are just so pretty! :0)
Singing the blog woes song with you. I have been hearing so many people having trouble and I am just waiting for it to happen to me. Hope everything is back in place for you. Your mini table mat is darling, I added it to my list the first time I saw it - cute pattern. And I love those oven mitts, I have one Darlene made and I had a really hard time putting it away when I packed the Christmas decorations away. Kudos to you on a very pretty QOV - an organization near and dear to my heart.
Happy that you were able to spend a wonderful day with your friend! Sounds like the best kind of way to spend time!
Love the soft colors of your mini... it's ready to greet spring! I think the back seat of a car is one of the best places to have a trunk show... I'm sure people passing by understood completely! Glad you had a fun day with your friend, too!
Oven mitts! Love it! They truly are wonderful and I would love to make some someday.
I love your mini quilt and oven mitts. I keep telling myself I need to make new ones since the family burned my other ones while they were in the kitchen but then I made pot holders instead. It's not the same. Perhaps I will squeeze in some time to make some oven mitts :-)
Love your little mini Cheryl, it is so pretty. How neat to have a meetup with Lani, her quilts are beautiful and you will both be getting excited about your weekend away, sounds like lots of fun!
Love your mini quilt, it is cute and pretty...fun fabric in your Christmas oven mitts...your day out with Lani certainly sounds like a wonderful day, a quilt shop and Mexican food - yum!, a great combo...
