January Gift Finishes

These are my January finishes.

Not completely finished quilts, but they are

completely finished tops so they count, right? <wink>

One goal is to use up my precuts so I made this fast quilt.

Currently quilting; should be 100% done w/in a few days.

I always want to use up scraps and stash!

Irish Chain quilt for someone who loves green.

This lap-size quilt is a "gift" just for us.
Another precut used up.

I completed the first 14 of the Farmer's Wife Quilt blocks.

I doubt this huge project will be a gift so that info is here.

I'm almost done with a simple ribbed scarf for my grandson.
It's been a good warm-up but I'm ready to get back at
something more challenging next month.

Happy Christmas Stitching!
(I apologize--I don't know how to get the font
everyone is using.  I like it, but I don't have it?)

Hello

Hello there.  I'm new so I wanted to post a bit about me
before the 25th gets here and it's time to posts projects.
(Please correct me if I'm doing something wrong!)

I live in Kansas on the last 3 acres of what used to be my

family's large farm (now sold off and covered in houses).

We have a huge garden, chickens and an orchard that
keep me pretty busy but our kids are now gone so I'm
starting to cut back--more time in the sewing room!

After 27 years of marriage, we have these to show for it:

DD 1 is married with 2 littles (so far), lives in our city
holds a degree in music ed, teaches piano.

DD 2  holds a PTA along with her Bachelor of Science;

lives/works in our city.

DS 1 attends Creighton University in Omaha, NB

majoring in Finance and Business Analytics

DS 2 attends West Point Military Academy, NY

and is a pole vaulter on the track team.

(Go Army!  Beat Navy!)

I love cooking especially with what I've grown.

Quilting is my love but I also enjoy knitting and reading.

I keep track of my creations over at The Morning Latte

if you'd like to pop in for a visit.
This should be a big homemade year for me and

I'm excited to see what everyone has going on!
