Since I couldn't start quilting on my Purple star, I have another Bear Paw in the frame. I have gotten the first corner quilted and hope to get more done today. It's Monday so probably won't be able to do much sewing--or well I can dream *****.

I have too many UFO''''''''''''''''s to list. On Saturday instead of working on these, I started three new projects. Is there any hope for me? LOL

My turn:

1. Get Apple Core quilt basted and quilted - need for gift at surprise birthday party sometime in February
2. Finish machine piecing Log Cabin quilt top - it was supposed to be our winter quilt LAST YEAR
3. Finish hand piecing Sawtooth Star
4. Make templates for hexagon one patch quilt - hand piecing project for after Sawtooth Star is done
5. Start stocking up on white microfiber towels to machine embroider for this year's craft sales
6. Find a job that leaves me my weekends free to quilt!

I've managed to get one of the 9 Patch & Stripes tops almost together - 2 more seams & 2 corner triangles, and it'll be ready for the borders. I went back to work today after almost 2 weeks off; I need to recuperate tonight :-) ( but don't bet I won't put on a pot of coffee and get those last seams done!)

I'll add my 'Really Should Get Done List.'

1. Make my Scrappy Houses for the Feb. swap
2. Make the Christmas Row quilt with the blocks from the swap
3. Make a crazy quilt with the Crazy Blocks from last year's swap
4. Catch up on making the 9-Patch blocks for the Nine-Patch Fun sew-along
5. Make a quilt for my daughter's birthday in Feb. (at least the fabric is cut)
6. Finish turning 4 finished tops into actual quilts
7. Make three 'I Spy' quilts for my grandkids
8. Make a tote to carry my cutting board and rulers, etc., to classes using the sewing novelty swap charms

Oh no Knitnoid - I still have 2 UGRR blocks and a mystery block or two. Actually started on another of my 116 piece Carpenters' Wheel blocks. 1 1/2 done - 10 1/2 to go. They take about 5 - 6 hours per block.

WeSignificant - I am glad you have a challenge with the Carpenter's Wheel! I also thought you were finished. You will have to take a picture of the Carpenter's Wheel it must be very beautiful for it to take that long for each block.
