I finished piecing that rail fence top the other day, but I've still been puttering with strips. I've been working on log cabin blocks the past several evenings, and I decided to quickly assemble them right away in honor of the (already melted) snow this morning. This will be a small wall hanging for January, but I couldn't resist getting a photo of it blogged today :) 
Sookie, our Boston grandpuppy, is getting to be a big girl -- she's looking a little less like a baked potato. Here she was visiting with her mother a week or so ago. This photo came in an email from Nick last night -- sounds like he's planning to come out here for a visit in early December!
My LQS, Patchworks, has just moved to a bigger storefront. The new location is only 1/2 mile down the road from me! I stopped in for rotary blades and chatted with the owner. She's planning to expand her fabric inventory in the larger shop -- hopefully more variety than the almost-all-batiks she carries now. I cast my vote for homespuns and repros :)
Whew -- I just blinked my eyes and almost a week has gone by! Keeping busy as usual: I finished assembling my Christmas stars top and it's ready for layering. Meanwhile, I've been doing some quick-and-easy strip piecing. I need another couch throw. Elvie's a nest-digger, and he's hard on the furniture :)
The Christmas stars are coming along nicely. I started webbing the blocks last night, and should get it all done later today.
Shoofly Pie is done!!! I haven't completed a queen-size quilt in more than a year. (Ha, in fact the only thing I've completed at all in the past six months was Squaredance ...) The quilting took almost forever on this, and handstitching the binding down seemed endless. I guess I'd forgotten how much bigger queen-size is than lap-size :)
