I was encouraged by something I read last week, saying: Congratulations for making it through the darkest 10 weeks of the year! Amen to that!
A glorious sunset from last week! It's been lovely and sunny during the days, and cold and frosty at night, but wonderful weather for January, here. But the rain is returning soon, so we hunker down and prepare to get through the rest of winter.
Working on this will help! This is Blue Skies, from Bonnie Hunter's String Fling book I believe. Definitely a cheerful quilt! I have it basted and the plan is to quilt it this week for my January project.
I finished this little mini quilt using the leftover triangles from my borders! I quilted it this a medium gray. I think I will use a bright yellow for my larger version. The gray is ok, but I think the yellow will be nice on the larger one.
Last weeks big goal was to finish these notebook covers.
I had so much fun working with all the fabrics provided by my customer - so many pretty ones!
Now I can move on to other projects that are in need of finishing! It is feeling good to get all of these things moving along! I have two quilts and a blanket that need new bindings. And an interesting project for a Dr. Can't wait to show that one, but I'm waiting for supplies.
I'm hoping to get my row done for the Stay at Home Round Robin before Sunday this week. And I have more blocks to make for the first row of the Hometown Nostalgia Row Quilt! I'm really enjoying being able to sew at a slower pace for this project. I have pre-cut all my blocks and will make one a day or so. It only takes about 15 minutes to sew one block (ok, I am speedy - not everyone can make one in this time frame, I know!) But even if I can't do any other sewing I can take the time to do one block and feel like I made some progress. The next row doesn't come out until Feb 15, so you definitely have time to jump in if you haven't already. Have a wonderful (and hopefully productive) week!

Congrats on getting a BH quilt top done! A lot of work and a lot of scraps go into them! Cute little mini, too!!!
Loving your Blue Skies!! Bonnie's patterns are a ton of work, but oh, so beautiful!!! I was resisting doing Hometown Nostalgia, but it may be a great way to use up some stash!!! We shall see what happens! LOL!!! And that's one beautiful sunset!
