How is the Mrs? I trust the elves and the reindeer are all well, and excited for the big night!
Here are some ideas for me for Christmas! Go to this website: http://www.feedsacklady.com/ Then click on the "shopping" link. Towards the bottom of the page, you will find two products of particular interest to me: the Feedsack Squares and Granny's Fat quarters.
I assure you that your list will say that I have been good, within reason, and bad only when appropriate. I have finished many projects this year -just read the rest of my blog for proof. In fact, the biggest project of the year isn't even on here, yet!
Love and cookies,
JO

I thought I would show you all my 30's prints collection. Now, I'm not claiming they are all actually 30's prints, or that they are reproductions, or just inspired by 30's prints. Close enough for me. They were all given to me last Christmas by my Mom and Dad. So. Awesome.
I aspire to make some things where each piece is a different print, so I'm going to need alot. I have my eye on a fat quarter pack at a store down the street. Unfortunately, 30's prints have fallen out of fad. A shopowner told me they weren't moving. I said, "Duh! Everyone only wants a 5X5 square of every single print. Of course yardage isn't going to sell!" Aw well. Now I get to hunt out these fabrics where I can find them.
And, you know, Christmas is coming again, so maybe Santa will help me...

Dragonflies and Butterflies has returned from being longarm quilted!
Can you see the dragonflies? I think I may have gone with too dark a pink thread color for the top. It's not photgraphing as dark as it really is. It's growing on me, though. Having this done wasn't even expensive! 44$ including the batting.
Hopefully I will get a chance to bind it this weekend. Look for a completed photo next week, as well as an update on Juno's Blankie.
In the meantime, I have managed to get a friend addicted to this stuff. Here is a preview of her first project:
We may have gone overboard with a theme. It has definately crossed the line from "appropriate anytime of the year" to "only in February." Whatever. It's beautiful, we're having fun, and I am trying out a bunch of new things on it.
