I haven't been doing a lot since I last posted. I had a fall at work last week and I'm still really sore from that.

I do have all the rows on my reminince quilt. just have to do the squares for the top and the bottom. then start the borders. I have also been working on a block of the month series by Linda Slone. I have the first block almost done. it is applique. she does it in fusable but since I don't like fusable applique I am doing mine in needle turn. I have the border that goes around the block done and ready to put on. I will post a picture as soon as it is ready.

This is a picture of my Reminiscence Quilt that was started who knows how many years ago. Margret has hers finished and it made me want to get mine out and work on it.

The last 3 blocks are finished and have been for some time. Now I am working on all those little sashing squares. I still have a bunch to go. I do have the top border started. I will work on it after I get all the sahsing blocks done and put on. The reason I started this block of the month back then was to learn how to be scrappy. Well it worked because now I have no problem with it.

The first quilt is from a block swap called luck of the irish. I still have to put a border on it and then it will be done. I made a couple of throw pillows with some of the blocks that were left. I don't remember what year we did this one but it was with Quilts on Review group

The second quilt was frome an Amish block swap back in 2001 with a different group. It is now ready to quilt

I have had to make a decision that just breaks my heart. I am going to have to have my beloved Ginger put to sleep because of a number of reasons.. I have had her since she was 6 weeks old and she is now 10 years old. For the last 3 years I have taken it 6 months at a time hoping for the best but knowing that it was going to happen sooner or later. since I work for a veternarian I will be able to take her in and have it done without thinking about it too long. she is old and has some medical problems but she has also gotten aggreeive toward the other pets in the house for no reason. here is a pictue of my wonderful baby Ginger. Unless I change my mind between now and tomorrow morning this will be the last picture of her. I really love my baby girl and it has beensuch a hard decison to make. She has been a wonderful baby.

I am so bad about doing updates. I have been bit by the quilting bug once again. I went through my UFO box and have completed 4 tops that I received the blocks in swap dating back to 2001.

I have also been working on my Dear Jane quilt that was also started from a swap several years ago. I have row A completed and sewed together. I am getting there just slow and easy. Little baby steps.

I will post more pictures next time.
