A few things

I made a little felt elephant for a Circus challenge on CDA.  She is about 5 inches high. She is doing the one leg stand! LOL

These are ATC's for a winter wonderland ATC swap on CDA. I had fun making them.

Finished my Challenge quilt

The squares are 16" and the quilt is 64" x 76". I used a lot of fabrics I had bought right after 9/11. This quilt will be donated with all the guild's challenge quilts to local soldiers stationed overseas in the war zones. Our theme was patriotic. I think it turned out nice. The beige strips have usa quilted across them. I have quilted hearts here and there around the quilt and have named the quilt Hidden Hearts.

Crocheted baby jacket

I finished the little crochet jacket for my upcoming granddaughter due in May. At the time I started this I didn't know the sex. I am now working on a pink one when I am not working on my challenge quilt. I am ready to quilt it so look for pics of the quilt in the near future!

Started Challenge

I finally started one of my challenges for my quilt guilds. Found out it is due next month instead of March! Yikes!! We are to use the fabrics with packet and make a quilt at least 60" x 72". It is to be patriotic themed. All the challenge quilts are being donated to local residents serving overseas. Our last two challenges have been donated.

I am using all the patriotic fabrics I have. Not buying any fabric as it is all from my stash!! Yeah!
The large stars are going to be alternating blue and red and there will be four stars in a row. I am going to have to quilt as I go as that size is hard for me to fit in my machine.

New year and Swap

Hope everyone is having a great new year. Also all my prayers go out to the people in Queensland dealing with all the flooding.

I have finally got my house back to it's regular non Christmas state. Looks so bare! It took me forever because my knee has been bothering me so much since cold weather set in.

I recieved my swap from Judy today. I am having so much fun swapping with my Aussie partner!!

The pin is so gorgeous and the fun shoe note pad and laces are fab!! Thanks Judy!!

Happy New Year!!!

I hope that this year will be our best ever and may you have many fun hours crafting and sewing!
