New Arrival

I am soooooooooooo excited. There is a new arrival at our household, a brand new Janome 6500. A friend helped track it down for me and it arrived in time for my birthday. Now, I just have to figure out all the tricks that it has. I will be trying out some new stitches out on my third PHD.

Note of Appreciation

Thanks to everyone who replied to my post. M., thanks again for this challenge. I am feeling so good inside about the PHD's (Projects Half Done) that I'm working on. The only "bad" thing is my dh is so inspired by me quilting away that he cleaned out the bottom half of a cupboard in our condo so that I could clean up my part of our den. Bless the top of his helpful Harry head, does he think that's going to do it? chuckle, chuckle, lol. He's really going to be helpful when he retires in a year and a half isn't he? grin.

2nd PHD finished

I am so thankful for M's PHD challenge. Otherwise, my pillow would still be an unfinished top that I had started at a class. I will have to take a picture of it. I'm putting the binding on my third PHD challeng - a Christmas rr wallhanging. It's feeling strange but really good inside to be finishing projects. In the past, my pattern has been to start projects.

for a friend

I made this quilt for a friend who has had the challenge of breast cancer. She uses it to cuddle under at night and watch tv. It's called "For Love of L."

1st PhD done!

I can't believe that I've got my first PHD completed. Thank you M. for issuing this challenge. It has been a few years in progress. Onwards to the next one.

Have you ever lost a quilt top?

I was working on this for my girlfriend who has cancer and I can still hardly believe that I lost this quilt top. I had one more thing to appique on and went to a quilt group's party at one of our member's house's. When I went to work on it the next day, there was no quilt top. So, two weeks later, I started on another quilt top for her which people said that they liked better.
