100 Day Hustle Results

*
Wow!! It's hard to believe that 100 days are soon to have passed since I signed up to join
the other Hustlers in getting their UFOs completed in 2012!
Time flies for some and stands still for others. 
There's been so much happen in those 100 days, at times, it's been 
incomprehensible.

I found my list changing constantly over the allotted time given but I still did accomplish some of my list, all be it very little.

"Laundry Day" is finished and on our bed,

As you can see, my dent in my list was minimal but I was keeping busy.
I've decided to put my whirlygiggle back in the cupboard, it's one of those quilts that I'm just not feeling "it" !
I tried getting a new bag made but I can't decide on fabrics, sew I'll just bide my time.
I do have another quilt made of Mill House Inn pinned and ready to go under the needle.
Maybe today but we'll see, I've been bitten by a cold bug or something :(
As for Great Granny, she's slated for completion by Valentine's Day!

We're going when?

*
My hubster threw me for a loop on Saturday,
he asked if I wanted to drive out to see my Dad next week?
Seeing my Dad also means we will be visiting our grandkids!
We will be seeing our granddaughter, Payton, for the very first time no less!
Well we certainly can't go empty handed so Grans starts hunting through her
stash and found these flannels that needed to go on a trip! So, I got to it!
Cutting, sewing, cutting, sewing...all this in less than 2 1/2 hours!

for this technique that I learned from Cindy  :O)

HAPPY STITCHING!!!

I DID NOT KNOW THIS!!!
No, I don't live under a rock ,all the time, but when I read this from
fellow Canuck, Paulette  I was floored! Flabbergasted?!
I chose this beauty for my Hubby

It's from Mr. Henry Glass and I love it. I can't wait to start gathering the flannels
for this quilt, all in harvest like colours, like wearing a pumpkin pie  =D

I also picked this for myself

Garden Grove by Kim Diehl @ Henry Glass's House.
It's very pretty and has some elements I haven't tried yet.
