*Four Across Hearts Table Runner

Four-Patch Stacked Posies...Small Print

Four-Patch Stacked Posies...Large Print

I was able to work on two BRODY Projects this week.

I finished piecing the Four Across Hearts Table Runner.

All my scraps have been cut up and added to my Bonnie Hunter inspired 
Scrap User's System.

4.  Go through two buckets of miscellaneous quilt related items and find a home for them all.   

All the items have found a new home.

5.  Spend a day with my cuddle bug, Ryder.

Little Ryder, all of 15 months old, has learned a new trick.  He has learned to climb out of his crib.  He did it on a day he was with his mommy and daddy, thank goodness, and not me.  The poor little guy got a bump on his head but was okay, otherwise.  All miscellaneous toys have been removed from his crib so that there is nothing to climb on.  Hopefully this will solve the problem.  

Such a little monkey!!!

6.  Work on the quilt currently loaded on Annie - the Byrne 2011 $5 quilt, repro colorway.

I finally finished this rather large (95" x 95") quilt.

 Christmas Hexie Quilt.

This block, like all the others in this quilt, measures 12 1/2".

This picture is not great but the actual block is quite nice.

12.  Work on the three Quilts for Kids quilts that I started in the last workshop.

I did not get to these quilts last week.  The October workshop is this week so I will work on them then.

13.  Bind the June 2011 Stash Club 1930's Braid quilt.

My braid quilt is bound.  Now I will have to hand tack the binding.
