Category: Finish It

You may think at first glance that this photo is the same one I showed yesterday, of my All Wrapped Up quilt.  Nope.  I discovered when my side borders didn't fit that I had left out three 2 1/2 inch lattice strips that go under the top three rows of presents.  Argh.  It seemed like […]

Um.  Right.  Yeah, I know.  What were my last words here on this blog?  Nantucket.  I will focus on and finish Nantucket. But then, I was out in my garage storage area, where my project boxes are kept.  I was looking for my Christmas wrapping paper when out of the corner of my eye, I […]
