Where oh where have I been?

Oh my! I seem to be lax again with my posting...so sorry... So where have I been and what have I been up to you ask?
Let's see...I have been plugging away at the postage stamp quilt along...sadly I missed posting a completed photo before they drew names for prizes, somehow missed the due date that was posted? ;-(  that has taken the shine off trying to get it quilted w/ binding on.... but this too will be completed.

Then there are the postcards I remembered I signed up to swap...thankfully I have them completed and ready for mailing on Monday..

I also have to complete the binding on two mug rugs I signed up to swap too! Again the plan is to have them in Monday's mail too.

I decided to give an all blue free style quilt a shot so have been working towards that goal..it might end up a challenge piece....here's some photos of what I have so far....just in the beginning process......

The winter blues

The hubby and I also had a chance to drive to Vermont for a lovely ski weekend with my son..the first time in 20 years my hubby skied! I admit I was envious yet got to spend some quality time with my youngest grandchild so I was content.

The boys head out...

The skiers head out for the afternoon runs.

Okay so enough already, I hope you can tell I have been busy enjoying life and will forgive me for being lax with my posts....Everyone have a grand weekend and Welcome February!
