Here is my number 2UFO from the list. This was a row robin that was done in 2007. I had be collecting patriotic fabric for a while and when the guild decided to do a row robin that is the theme I decided to use. I made the second row which is the flags. As you can see it needs a border.
My plan for the border is to use this fabric with stars. (it's blurry, no, your eyes are not bad) I am going to sew these stars around the border. The stars will be raw edge applique. I am planning to have it machine quilted. The good news is that we two months to get this one done.
I just had to share this picture of this pine cone. It is 1/2"-3/4" long. We planted this Hemlock tree when we moved into this house. We have been here 12 years now. The tree was only 3 feet tall when we first planted it. Now it is 25 feet tall. Last year was the first year it had these little pine cones and now this year we see some more. It doesn't have very many but I just think it is so neat for such a big tree to have such little pine cones. (a picture of the tree is on the 11/21 entry)
One more Christmas decoration. I got this at a craft show in the late 90's. It is a old wooden box with a sliding lid. I really like the pine cones and the way it frames the Snowman family.
