One week later...

My, oh my, how time flies when you're BusyLiz! :o) My boss has had us busy at the office. She was in charge of her daughter's fundraiser for the 8th Grade D.C. trip. They had a gala and auctioned off baskets. We had 54 baskets at the office and I was in charge of typing up the auction sheets and description cards. I also helped her wrap quite a few of these gems. The gala was yesterday so tomorrow should be a regular work day. Woohoo!


Friday I finished my first UFO. Can I get another woohoo? lol This stack 'n whack is about four years old. All because I couldn't figure out how to quilt it. So much empty background space just threw me. I finally decided done was better than in a box somewhere so I just did a flower motif in the background, stitched in the ditch on the purple borders and a leaf design on the big pansy border.

My sister, Isabel taught me how to do the SNW. She has taught quite a few SNW classes at her local quilt shop. She's a good teacher, even to me, who doesn't usually listen. :o) Here's the back.

And I don't know if you can see it but here is a little bit closer shot of the quilting.


And my label. I couldn't get a better shot of it.
One down, 14 to go. (I have lots more than 14 but that's the number of the challenge for a June deadline.) Back to work!
