Sew Sunshine

approx 29" x 29" In my quest to clean and organize a bit in my sewing room(s) I plan to see what I can come up with for challenges that I already have.  This 8 sided spider web is for the Project Quilting  season 8 first challenge - "8 is great". I was working on cleaning up the floor in my sewing room and I came across 2 bags of mostly useless selvages. I didn't know what I was doing when I saved them and they were mostly too skinny to even use or there was no wording or color bubbles. Crazy! So I found enough to do this spider web.

Too Short! That is what February was. I did finish a few things and make some progress on another. So here is the monthly report: First up: -Scrappy Trip Around the world. The blogging craze that was started by Bonnie Hunter over at  Quiltville . Mine went to a great local chapter of  Project Linus Ackkkkkkk! I am adding this a day late: I finished a UFO from last year and I can't believe I didn't get it in my report! My Charlie Brown charity quilt was sandwiched and quilted.

I joined in on the Lovely Year of Finishes late in January. I was doing quite well on my own according to my Jan. Report card.  However....it is so fun to see what others are doing and it really makes you want to get more done.  It works for me.... A Lovely Year of Finishes l I finished a project I started in Jan. already this morning.  My Scrappy Trip A Long as seen on Bonnie Hunter's site.  I am pleased about that but that really was only keeping me from working on what I must try to tackle this month...The Relay for Life silent auction quilt for my niece's fundraiser.  Pattern is Birdbath by Elizabeth Hartman I have the backing done and just need to make the sandwich and decide on the quilting design. There lies the problem.........hm??? I WILL figure it out and get it done this month! There I said it so it IS going to happen.
