I can't remember when I started this Twisted Log Cabin.  I have been thinking about making it for years.  I dyed the fabrics a couple of years ago and I think that I started this in about June.  I am about half done.  It is very slow going and monotonous. I am not really enjoying doing it, but I think I will like the finished product, and I don't want to quit and give up on it.  Here are two of the four rows.

Once I start, it's hard to stop

I am done with my mystery clue #3 for the week, but working on that makes me want to keep sewing.  I worked on cleaning up some of the flat surfaces in my sewing room today while watching "Alias".  I cut up some more pieces for my Leaders and Enders project for this year, It is Split Nine Patch and the free directions can be found here.

I also cut up odds and ends of fabric into standard sizes for future scrappy quilts.

Here my pieces are all cut and ready to assemble.

I noticed that last year I wrote about sewing my "Gaggle of Geese Quilt", but now I can show you that it is finished and hanging on the wall.

This is a Christmas present I made for my friend,Bobbie, this year. Boy, Christmas is more enjoyable when I am retired! It was fun to make, but with 3 zippers, a magnetic snap, velcro, 7 pockets and every piece stabilized; I don't want to make another one anytime soon.

Hard to believe that I was going to post and more frequently about a year ago.  I did get my Easy Street done, and you can see that on the mystery tab.  I must have started my Turkey Tracks last February from Bonnie Hunter's String Fling  book.  The top is done and now I am thinking about how to quilt it.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  It is going to be aged for a while because I am working on Bonnie's mystery again this year.

The borders were pretty time intensive with all those flying geese.  There are a total of 456 in this quilt.  I had the colors reversed for the first hundred, so those had to be redone.
