Look what I found



I guess it pays to clean up every once in a while. I made these a few years ago and didn't end up using them. I think they might go in the Halloween quilt. I was planning on making a pumpkin with a face, a jack o' lantern I suppose I should say, but I think one or maybe both of these would work too. Maybe I'll make a jack and use one of those and one of these. Well anyway, I am excited I cleaned up the sewing room and found them-now I can't wait to get back into my Halloween quilt. This is not the best picture, not sure what's going on with the camera. I know it's at a weird angle.
I tried another picture but not sure it's any better. Oh well

A few pictures






I finally finished quilting the baby quilt I started back in April, I just have to put the binding on. I took a cable knit scarf class with Tammy back in May or maybe it was April, I 'm not sure but I finished that too. I love the colors in it. I'm trying to get some projects finished up. I'm feeling overwhelmed by so many starts and not many finishes, but that didn't stop me from starting a "Happy Villages" quilt. I found the book at a quilt show last weekend and started it that night. It's a very small project and I finished it the next day, including the quilting. I also started crocheting that granny square. I saw some out there in blogland and wanted to make one. I know how to crochet, but didn't quite know how to do the traditional square-so I learned by watching videos on you tube. You can find anything there. I found this pattern for penguins in granny squares and had to order it. I also ordered one for a frog, a dinosaur and a kangaroo. I need to keep working on those. They are not quite right, yet.
I need to keep blogging so I can keep track of what I'm doing. I have been bad about that. I will try to be better. After I finish a few projects, I intend to do a little work on my Halloween blocks.
