Finish it up February?

This is my birthday week and my fabulous hubby

gave me cash to spend any way I like.

So naturally I bought fabric.

But you KNOW I'm going to make

that money go as far as I can!!!

I was on ebay the other night

and on a whim I bid $24.99 on a jelly roll

of Cosmo Cricket "Circa 1934".

And quess what? I won!

So this beauty showed up on Saturday

and I could barely control myself to get started.

I'm making the sampler quilt on the cover of the book.

I have all the strips pressed and cut

and now it's time to get started piecing.

While I was cutting my lovely fabric

it occured to me that I have several quilt tops done

and I haven't even begun to finish them.

I need to get my butt in gear

and get them all finished.

I'm hoping to finish them all in February.

We'll see how that works out...ha!

I also started on a new cross stitch pattern

last night. I do love me some chickens!

This pattern is fun because the chickens are in front

of a row of quilts!

How perfect is that? 

Anyone else have projects to finish in February?????
