opam finish number 2 and 3

I did the Friday Night Sew In this week with my sister  Patty and was able to complete the bindings on my
granddaughters quilts, a little winter snuggler for them both. We had a great time and now I have two more to add to my opam lists, on to number three.

Friday Night Sew In



Friday night sew in was great, nice cup of tea with my Sister Patty who came to sew with me.
Next we had a nice soak in the hot tub and then a few hours of concentrated  sewing, here is what I worked on.
Finished the binding on my grandaughters quilt, this is one of two that I made one for each of my granddaughters.
I also loaded and started this quilt for a customer, it is now complete and ready for pick up.
lots accomplished, can't wait for the next one.

opam project #1






Well as January starts off this one is good so far. I joined the OPAM group over at  Pegs site "Happy in Quilting". Set my list of to be finished projects and have completed 1, hemmed 4 pairs of pajama pants for Mr. C. and 2 pairs of jeans for DSIL. Project # 2 is in the works, I purchased 2 cute snowman quilt kits at our anual shop hop.  These were suppose to be Christmas presents for my two cute granddaughters, but due to last minute quilting for customers and a case of the flu before Christmas they did not get done.
However... thanks to the OPAM challenge, they are both pieced and machine quilted and one is partially bound the second just needs the hand sewing on the binding. YIPEE, I hope I can keep this up all year, I have a lot of UFO's.
Thanks Peg for the challenge, now if I can just get the darn button loaded on my blog things will be great.

irish chain




This is one of last customer quilts I completed right before Christmas, I realy love how it came out.
I would love to make an Irish Chain for myself now, however, I need to make this year a year of finish up.
I had a nice visit with my sister this afternoon, and she told me finished should be my word for 2010, and by the looks of my sewing room I think she is right.
