WIP Wednesday

Where does the time go , I can't believe it is Wednesday again already . I have had a busy week , some sewing some frog stitching ,more than I wanted to do for sure but I am glad I did it and I did make progress in a few areas .

Here is my Winter in Blogland in the process of being hand quilted , I sandwiched it with flannel thinking it would be best to keep it lying nice and flat but it is not all that easy to hand quilt through so may not have been the best choice . I did not add as many borders as in the original pattern and I struggled with what to frame this with but overall I am now pleased and once this is quilted I think it will look just fine.
 I have a few other UOF'S that I did not post about recently and one I worked on this morning .

These crazy patch blocks were part of a round robin exchange and have been on my shelf a little too long so time to get these lovely blocks made into something . I chose this pale shade of peach to use as sashings , it was a little challenging to sew around the beads that have been added but I did manage and now to decide on the border . The first block top left was made by Lynda  , the next one is mine, the second row left is by Martha , no blog and sadly has since passed away , next to Martha's is Dianne's , bottom row is Jeanette's  and the final block is by Janet no blog .Aren't they lovely blocks , I am now very anxious to see this as a finish .
 Ok I know many of you already think I am a little crazy and I will agree with you as I also started a new BOM this morning , ok don't throw anything at me unless I can use it to make blocks;-)You see I was going to my little sewing session and I needed something to work on but did not want to haul too much along and most everything I am trying to finish up requires either machine quilting or hand quilting and it just is not possible to take them with me so what is a girl to do but start something new right , ok maybe not but I did anyway.

This is the January block for Quilt Doodles , you will see the icon on my right sidebar if you are interested in giving this a try .I did have the February block with me as well but I made a mistake when cutting off part of the block , you would have to see it to understand but not a total loss it will become a new block just not the one it is suppose to be ,life happens right. To make matters worse I broke my glasses last night and I am totally lost without them , I did a make shift job of fixing them with crazy glue until they can get a frame for me but since I wear bifocals the glasses are not sitting where they should be so things are not looking like they should either . By tomorrow afternoon I should have this problem fixed I hope :-(   Under the present circumstances I probably should not be sewing but I am anyway .
 I am linking up to the Needle and ThreadNetwork and be sure you stop by to see what others are doing this week .Thanks for the visit .
