It has been so much fun today working online with Stacia and Deloise – and we have a couple more days set aside for this.

At Christmas I gave both Stacia and Deloise a set of postcards (I had a set for myself) that had patterns for miniature quilts; there was one postcard for each month. Today we all worked on the January quilt. Not surprisingly Stacia’s is done and quilted. I have the top finished and Deloise is just a couple of borders away from a finished top (she made hers twice the size so it took longer). I want to quilt the piece with my new quilting ruler skills; I thought I’d leave it until next week to do it but I may change my mind and do it tomorrow.

I moved on to another scrappy project that I marked a long time ago – it is from a 2011 calendar. All the coloured bits are scrappy and there are four different background fabrics. These are quick to make but a little boring after a few (hence my decision to quilt my miniature).

The two projects combined made quite a dent in my scrap drawers.
