This is a little better but the edge is checker board black and white...must get my camera skills up to newer technology!

Flax Seed bags

So far I have made about a dozen of these and have gone back and bought some more Batman fabric. Make a little pillow approx 8x10, fill about 2/3 full of flax seed, make a pillowcase approx 9x11 to cover. Put in microwave for approx 60-90 seconds. Microwaves vary so test yours...do not overheat. I like to put mine in the foot of my bed about 20 minutes before I retire because by then I have forgotten about it and am surprised by my toasty toes. Also works very well for pain. Winco has flax in bulk about 80 cents a pound and takes about a pound and a half or over.

This is the 2nd one done w/pillow but my pix are not good. It is actually quite vivid colors however, I bought a new cel phone to get a better camera and had a perfectly good opportunity to learn how to use it with a 7 year old but it was almost his bedtime and he got in a scuffle with his sister so changed his mind. In the meantime, I can't find the reader card for my perfectly good camera that I almost know how to use so what you see is what you get...quilt turned out very nice indeed and is kind of puffy and cozy for 1.

Well, as usual. I didn't get as much done as planned, however, I did pretty good. The plan was to finish 3 quilts that were pretty close to being all done within a couple of weeks. I finished this large Christmas present one (3 weeks before Easter) and a second one shortly after. But, I did work on putting some squares in order and made some real progress there so figured that could count for something plus organizing my bulging stash. I will be proceeding with a favorite botched project that I started 3 years ago and have had a lot of problems with. I still am in love with this one and have the skills just not the patience...until now. I undid part of it and am ready to start redoing it right this time. I have another Christmas one almost done so will work that in while I have everything spread all out. So, overall, I have been moving right along.

Oops...missed one. Covered boxes full of miniature ornaments.

TOO MUCH CHRISTMAS OVER 100 YRS REPRESENTED

This is about 90% of my non-paper collection. I have sold my biggest and best items which is sad but fortunately I did that before the prices really crashed. I need to go thru my paper which is also too much but not until next season. It's a lot easier to put away and take out.

This one was almost done last year so HAVE to finish it this year. Panel center so it was easier although I am not so sure these always are. For me, I guess.

Update..Feb 1 2013. Nope didn't get it totally finished yet....only started several new ones. Shame on me.
