Little twister Heart...

I finished cutting and sewing the Twister blocks together today while I was waiting for the body shop to call for me to pick up our Nissan. It was dented a couple of weeks ago by a friend of the across the street neighbor. He backed out of the drive into our car that was parked on the street in front of our house. By the time the inspectors finished checking my quarter inch seams it was time to pickup the finished car.
 actually they both match the quilt pretty well. Since the seams checked out I was able to put the borders on after dinner.
 I have a few quilts in line to quilt before this one but I hope to get this done for 2012 Valentines Day.

UFO Bag DONE!

I finally made myself just get this bag done! It has been a UFO for almost exactly one year. I had promised to make it for my eldest Daughter's last semester. But now it is done and off my to do list and she is very happy. It is made like a 'Regan Bag' only much bigger and with more zippered pockets. I didn't write down the dimensions so it will be one of a kind.
Since the bag is done I can now play with some charm squares. These are going to be cut with the 'Little Twister' ruler and then sewn back together. I am hoping this will look like a heart for Valentines Day.
 They look like Angels here, but have been running around like crazy tonight. Scotty even knocked my iron to the floor. Broke the cord reel, but the iron seems to still be functioning. Needless to say they are in trouble.
I have one Customer quilt to get going tomorrow and lots of UFOs to try to get organized.
