I have been working on projects - but ones that I started and have not finished. Three of them are lying around my living room right now and I kind of jump from one to another and slowly progress is being made. My granny squares have been done for a long time, but not put together. So I am in the process of joining them and then will have to crochet a border around the completed piece. This kind of work is not fun - but it comes with the territory! Next afghan I do will be a one piece!!
My Mexican Star is all together but the little triangle thingies have to be laid back and sewn down ala catherdral window. I have maybe seven of them done. All the time I work on these finishes I think of other things I would like to be start, but I'll bet most quilters do likewise.
Last winter I did the little snowman and now I am almost done with Santa. Love these little embroideries. Six or seven more snowflakes and a puff of wind in the corner and Santa is done. There is a pattern for a tree, also, but I think I will pass on that one. Found some cute fabric so will make a couple of little wallhangings. So tonight while tv is on, I will work on one or the other or all and eventually they will be done. (Click to enlarge)

Mexican Star
Yesterday I took a class to make this Mexican Star wallhanging. It was a fun day even though there were only six of us who signed up. Our program chair was there, also, and she was working on a project for the monthly class she is teaching which will culminate in a lovely large quilt for the people taking the class. Today I have been working on getting my blocks finished and, by golly, I have done that.
This is a piece of batik that I have in the hanging. I think this is gorgeous. Planning the colors is part of the fun for me. Sometimes, I question what I have picked out, but I am pretty happy with how this is turning out. Piecing is not my first love in quilting and I most likely won't make another little quilt like this but amvery glad that I made this one.
Here it is laid out on the bed ready to be sewn together. Next time I show it in a post, hopefully I will have it quilted and bound. I took my camera along yesterday and, if you haven't already guessed, forgot to take it out and take pictures. Eventually I hope to be able to show you the ones made by Stephanie, Kathy, Leslie, Marcia and Helen. All of them are so pretty.
