Attic Treasures Finnish

I'd like to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving!!! I had my family over (brothers, sisters, nieces, parents, and our own kids). Total count is 16. We had a wonderful time. It's good to get together with the whole family every once and a while.




















At last after sewing on and off this weekend I have this top done. The blocks are 6" square. And there are 144 of them. The quilt is 72" square. Mark off another UFO on the list. Now to pick another UFO to focus on.

Dear Jane


Oh look what I bought. I've been looking for the Dear Jane book for awhile. Thinking about buying it for even longer. I know I could of ordered online. But I've been waiting. I was at the local quilt shop looking through there books when I spied it. All the shops I've looked at have never had it on hand so I've never really seen the real book before. So I treated myself and bought it. The price was the same as on line. I also bought some printed muslin for the background. Now I'm so excited I don't know what block to start with. It's fun just looking through the book. I'm going to hold off starting until after Thanksgiving. I have all four days of the weekend off from work I want to take my time and enjoy making the blocks. I'm sure it will take a long time to complete.

Whirly bird Quilt


I finally got this quilt finished. It started out as orphan hst that were sewn into pinwheels. Then matched into blocks of 4 with not all of them matching perfectly by color and direction. It truly is a scrappy thing. And it is totally made from stash.
