I have been very busy the last couple days trying to catch up on book work. Garhhhrr!! It's a disaster in my little den of an office and I have to admit that my toe hurts from where I tried to kick something. Nuff said about that! except that I'm afraid I have many more days like that before the end is in sight. Thankfully I have lots of rewarding projects to take my mind off of all that wearisome work waiting for me.*wink

Plain Jane--Sugar bowl quilt
Looking very sweet these days.:) |
You can see that I got the border work done on Plain Jane. Personally, I think she looks very pretty these days and extremely happy with her make-over! My oldest daughter couldn't quite get the 'Simplify', but in order to understand that, you have to go clear back to the beginning. Originally, I had intended to put a very fancy border on this quilt with swags and formal looking flowers. By the time I was putting borders on the quilt, it was obvious that it needed pared down
a lot. In fact, after putting the scrappy blues on the border I figured the quilt was done (finite).

A better look at the borders..... |
Then I pulled it out of the drawer the other day and starting re-thinking the plain border. Hmm... Maybe I did the quilt a bit of a disservice. It really looks like it could manage a touch of added sweetness, something simple and free from affectation..... So what do you think? I know I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out!

| Look what I won!!! |
Also, I wanted to show you the package that was in the mail yesterday! I won this beautiful package of fabric and pattern from
Temecula Quilt Co. on Christmas Eve! So very exciting. It felt like I was getting another Christmas present! The strips of reproduction fabric are literally making me drool. lol

| Keeping it real..... |
And just so you know what my quilt room looks like when I'm busy elsewhere and have to sneak in my little chunks of quilting time. Ahhhh... January. The one month I just can't get away with avoiding the office....
