Sew Day
Sew day at the farm was very productive this week. Lucy finished up a small Dr. Suess throw for Tyler, (due to make his appearance on Tuesday), Debbie finished several pages for her scrapbook, Cindy made curtains for Snook's room, Zelda taught a Smartbag class, Cathy made her first Smartbag and I finished up the binding on the Christmas Tree Northwoods quilt.
Brandi visited with the girls all day. They were happy to see her!

Trees for Sale
Now that the turquoise quilt top is off to the longarm shop, its time to make the brown squares

As you can see the directional snowmen in the sashing was a bit of a challenge. Which way do I face them?
Hum... decided to turn them in all directions for fun. Stripe fabric for the border will be added next.
Anybody need a quilt???????
