Lately, it seems like I am playing catch-up with long overlooked projects. Last year, I promised myself that I could take on new quilts (translation = Go Shopping!) if I finished some of the older projects that had been neglected for over a decade.

| Thimbleberries Club Summertime 2002 – Finished 2013 |
In working with these old friends, I thought I might figure out what ‘style’ of quilter I am. Nope.

| Hopscotch Christmas Quilt Started 2001 |
These quilts show that I do not really have one style of pattern or fabric that I gravitate towards. Apparently, I love all kinds of fabrics. Including some that aren’t very well suited for my climate. The Bull’s Eye Quilt pictured below is made with flannel fabric.

| Bullseye Started 2000? Finished 2013 |
It sounded like a good plan, but implementing it didn’t go as I had hoped. 🙂 Things started out well and I finished four quilts. Then I went shopping and started designing new projects and lost the mojo to complete the UFO’s (Unfinished Objects.) It is important to me to get the rest done, so I started up again this month. I just finished quilting and binding the following two quilts this month.

So here I am, a year and a half later with only a half dozen completed quilts to show. But, at least they are now done!

| Queen Sized Zuzu’s Petal’s Quilt – Started in 2002 |
Because it is so hot here in the summer, this is when I am in hibernation-mode. I have a few more tops ready to quilt and bind. One of them is a “New” project! New is relative here, because I started it last year, but when we are talking decades versus years – this is considered new in my book. It was designed by my (then) 8 year old daughter for her bed. It should be done shortly and I’ll post it, along with the instructions.

Beverly, I would say that you are a very traditional quilter, with a FABULOUS eye for color!! These are simply beautiful. I love designing and piecing, but quilting is very tedious for me, rather than relaxing, as many find it. Keep up the good work!!

Thank you, Sarah! I wish you lived closer and we could quilt or paper-craft together!
