I completed two projects yesterday. One small... and one big.
This is the small project. It is an embroidered kitchen towel. I found the free pattern at

This is my big project. I've been hand piecing this quilt for over two years. I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed doing it. (I flipped the corner over so you can see the hand piecing, but you really can't see it very well)
Now I need to get it ready to hand quilt. It may be another two years but I don't mind. I will enjoy spending more time with this fabric and I haven't had a hand quilting project for a long time.
I'll be keeping this quilt when it's finally done.

Hi Janis! I am most impressed with your diligence in finishing that star quilt top. I wouldn't even begin to know how to do it, nor would I have the patience.
I love how you stage your projects for picture taking. There is definitely an artist within. Very nice!!

you're gonna keep it? you're so selfish.
good job mom!
That quilt is truly amazing - and that you're excited about handquilting it is even more amazing. What a talent!
