Another January Finish

Well, I finally finished the early 1990s Trip Around the World. It was a true lesson in perseverance. In addition, it was very humbling. Despite ripping it apart a couple of times, I still ended up with a wavy corner. I went ahead and added borders and called it done. It will either quilt out or it won’t. I was just at the end of my rope with it and it was on it’s way out in the trash can if I didn’t just finish it.


I also got the first block done on A Little Happy Christmas Quilt from Pretty Fabrics and Trims. It is such a sweet little quilt with simple appliqué.


Thought I would also show you the progress on my camp rug from Caraway 2018. A little more background done, but I am clearly giving more attention to quilting.


That being said, Kathie, Laura and I headed back to Caraway for a long weekend hooking class with Eric Sandberg. He has dubbed it the “Class Reunion “, as it is a group of 15 of his old hooking students. And our dear Diane has driven from West Virginia to join us.

Oh, did I mention that I am starting another rug????


Take Care,
Jennie

  1. Am sure you enjoyed your reunion with old friends and favorite teacher of yours Eric. Glad you didn't throw away your quilt as it does look very pretty even if it isn't quite square (according to you).
