With the holidays behind me and the guests all gone I have finally been able to get back into my sewing room and attack some of my projects! The "70's" themed quilt is at the long arm quilters so last week I buckled down and finished my "Drops of Honey" quilt and pillow top. I have the backing fabric cut and sized so now they are all ready to go. Whoo Hoo!!
When I went to the Road to California last week I picked up a little booklet and tool for making rugs from fabric or rag scraps. Since I had my fair share of scraps I thought this would be just perfect!! So I gathered together my scraps, cut them in to two inch strips and I went to town!

| I had some spiders and bees, polka dot and solids .... |
 |
| Awww, so pretty. This little rug is all done and will be perfect in front of my kitchen sink. So, don't haul those scraps to the thrift store, make a rug! |
|
Several months ago I posted that I had finally finished my queen sized quilt called "Mill City." It is complete and on the guest room bed.
 |
| Tada!! I love the color combinations used for this quilt. This was a block of the month project from the Orange Quilt Bee. To date this is the largest one I have done, a lot of sewing hours put into this baby!! |
 |
| While I was busy finishing things up I decided to get busy and make some labels. This one is for a group project we did last year called Pinwheels for Caroline. I have shared the front of this quilt in the past, it is another perfect project to use up scraps!! |

 |
| Tiny Thimbles ... and boy are they tiny! I have also pieced these little scraps together and hope to have all the rows put together by tomorrow night. By the time I make my next trip to the long arm quilter I should have several treasures ready to take! |
I have also posted a couple of pictures of our new Plantation Shutters we gave each other for Christmas. I haven't really liked any of the pictures until this most recent one taken today. These are in our living room and I love them!!
 |
| French Doors are on the left and the new shutters on the right, they let in just the right amount of sun light! |
Happy February!
Love seeing this glimpse of your living room - it looks so cozy and comfortable - the shutters are wonderful! Looks like the quilt on the guest bed was a sampler? Those are some of my favorites and the colors you used are so pretty.. Good job on the quilt label - I always forget to do that myself. Your tiny little tumbler quilt is going to be sweet.
