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?????

  5. Happy Birthday Karen! Looks like hubby nailed it on your present!
    And yes, I have far, far too many projects on the go, but am committed to working my way through them. Too bad my machine just went in for an emergency fix up.
