UFO Progress and Page a Day Layouts

Another productive day here!  First off: She Quilts!  Hannah has finished her first quilt top (and I am just a little proud..wipes a tear from her eye..)

Then I finally cut and put together and quilted Nessie's quilt.  Just simple cross hatching but my quilting is definitely improving and I find that I actually enjoy machine quilting now (not even any swearing and tearing of hair anymore LOL)

I think I like this little quilt a bit better now that it is together - it is a bit of a walk down memory lane as some of the squares are from Maddie's quilt, and Nessie's first baby quilt, and the blue spot I loved and used for everything, and the fabric I used for my niece's rag doll dress, and the fabric that became kangaroos to send to the UK cousins....

So there will need to be a trip to find some binding for both of these as nothing from the stash works.

Last night I found time to finish this one:
and as luck would have it, it fits Maddie's new doll bed perfectly (but first it needed a snuggle with a grumpy Dan and Teddy!)  The binding on this is green on the short sides and pink on the long sides.  We ran out and late last night I just couldn't be bothered.

You would think I would be feeling really good about all this progress but on the way to completing these I found a BOM that is no where near finished!!!

Sock number two (of the first pair) is now past the tricky heel turn and I have smooth sailing for the next 4 inches before the toe decreases.

Onto the layout a day challenges:  The focus has been on simple, easy, get-it-done pages!

My favourite from this lot.  I like the angle, and the use of old Wish paper with new Love paper!

Hope you are having a productive New Year too!
I'm off to take potato bake out of the oven and put the schnitzels on.
Keep smiling,
Nell
