starting the week...

with two finishes....the monthly mini is done but will keep under wraps for another week.  the One Monthly Goal is finished and here's the photo finish.

it's the joseph's coat repro....i love this quilt...it isn't perfect but i don't care.  started years ago when piecing skills still needed work, but it just epitomizes "quilt" to me...about twin size, it's colorful, cozy, evocative of simpler times....i just love it!  i'll be linking up with OMG and document my goal reached.  what's next?

this is throw size and should be able to finish in november.  perhaps squeak in a small one or two besides.  attacking the UFO list with fervor!   my hand work project is the "midnight at the oasis"....the vine is basted and now to applique and add flowers.  hoping this will be a flimsy and maybe basted by new year's.  that leaves the next machine project...one wheelchair top and then this.....

called "splashes of color" by katherine guerrier from her book "scrap quilt sensations"....so many beauties in this book, all done with color crazy batiks.  difficult to choose and there is a scrappy blue snail's trail that is whispering to me as well...

this week will find out if guild meetings can resume...oh i surely hope so...has been a too-long hiatus and tho thankful for zoom, nowhere near the same.  and have you seen this?

it's a jigsaw puzzle designed by--you know who--kaffe fassett!  a biggie 1000 pieces and i'm pretty sure i need one...LOL!  it just might be the christmas present to myself this year.  available from C&T Publishing....no conflict just my personal advert...speaking of christmas, my kiddos are both working christmas day so declaring it a day-long pj retreat with a few allowed munchies and white christmas on tv...no snow needed, thank you very much!
