More completions

Well, these aren't the quilts I'm most proud of, to say the least, but they are completed.

First is the next Project Linus quilt. I guess it's readily apparent that I have kind of enjoyed doing nine patch lately.









Next is a John Deere quilt. This one has a little story. You may recall that we went to Nebraska to help celebrate my uncle's 80th birthday in July. This same uncle has always been a farmer, and the table centerpieces, as well as the decorations, were John Deere based. It was so fitting for him. When we left my aunt's house, she gave to me a piece of John Deere fabric that had been used on a table. I decided then that I would get more and use it in a quilt. I started the quilt, and then about three weeks ago we learned that my uncle is facing some very serious health issues, so I hurried to get it completed and sent to him. It isn't the greatest quilt in the world, but hopefully he will enjoy it and know I love him.









Last is another crocheted towel. These make great TV watching or car riding projects, since I always like to be doing something.

Well, it's been a while since I've posted, but I have a good excuse - really I do. We have been gone. I have quite a bit of family in Nebraska, and one uncle was having an 80th birthday celebration, so since we love he and my aunt dearly, we just had to hop on a plane and go.

I got to see some cousins that I hadn't seen in 40 plus years. What a great time we had! The one picture is of my dear aunt and uncle. The other is me (the tall one) with three of the best girl cousins anyone could ever have. The one on the right without the apron is one that I hadn't seen since 1965.
