Works in Progress Wednesday - May 16, 2012

On Monday, I started experiencing a strange and rare urge to garden. It was very odd and I'm not sure where it came from. I was tempted to ignore it and hope it went away, but then I figured that I should probably take advantage of the urge and weed the out-of-control back garden. I'm half way done and I think I'm getting most of the weeds. I think I've also probably pulled a few actual garden plants -- oops. With any luck, I can finish getting the garden organized before this earth mother feeling passes. ;)

On to quilty business...

New Projects: Started and finished a fun hostess gift for one of my longtime friends. I love these coasters in the solids and I see many more in my future. I used this tutorial by Laura of Quokka Quilts. I especially love them because they can double as wine glass charms so we lushes can keep better track of our drinks. :) 

And speaking of lushes (me not her), Here is my friend Suzy and I at our grade 8 reunion. It's been 3 or 4 years since the two of us spent any significant time together, but it was like we'd never been apart. So fun!

Completed Projects: 

Micah's Growth Chart - is done and I shared it last Friday, along with Daniel and Patrick's growth charts. Woo hoo! I will do a tutorial on it in June sometime when I make my niece's growth chart.

Current Projects:
