FINISHING UP SOME UFO'S AND FOOTBALL

It has been a crazy week.  Husband and I spent a good 70 hours between Tuesday of last week through Monday of this week helping daughter and her husband get their house ready for sale.   We saw the photos on line last night and it looks wonderful.  
Now it is time for me to get back into my quilt studio and do something productive in there.
I know I have mentioned several times that I have a habit of having multiple projects going on at any one time.  I get distracted with a project and start another and sometimes it gets set aside for months and lets be truthful even years.  This is one such project.  I pulled it out yesterday and need to just get it quilted.  That is sort of my dilemma now.  How do I quilt it?
 Another project waiting for finish.  This block is done.
And this one too.  
And this one needs some more work.  I got inspired last night at my guild meeting by a mini lecture on inks, pastel sticks, and intense pencils.  I pulled this project out this morning and decided to work on it again.  It would have been nice to have it in my entry hall earlier this spring.  Well there is next year!  So I plan to finish it up.
Always time for this activity.  Our oldest grandson Elijah's football games.  This guy just won the game last week for his team.  He intercepted the other team's pass and ran it to a touchdown.  They won the game in the last final minutes 6 to 0.  More of that for sure this Friday.

  6. Finishing up old UFOs always feels good! I really like your flower blocks. I've never tried using any type of paint on fabric, but it sounds interesting!
