UFO Attack - 3 Down, Several to Go!

I haven't posted in a while due to a hectic pace around here - several family visitors in and out and some travel thrown in for good measure. But, the sun was out early Saturday morning so I decided to tackle one of my UFO bins! By 9:30 am I had 2 I-spy baby quilts quilted, plus another small donation quilt. These will be donated to South Puget Sound Project Linus - part of my goal for 2009 is to donate between 10 - 12 to this great cause. I completed 25% just yesterday (and am about 50% there in total)! I have several more blocks cut and ready to sew into more I-spy tops. That may be my 60-minute sewing therapy for today. :o)


My sister-in-law from California brought me some beautiful Asian fabric FQs from a shop she discovered on a needlepoint search with a friend - The Treasure Hunt in Carpinteria, CA. She picked out the selection with my pseudo-niece Sarah; they were visiting through yesterday. What a wonderful gift. I just love the prints! Now the "hunt" is on to find the best pattern to showcase them!

There is a very pretty quilt in the "Quilts from the Quiltmakers Gift" book (the Flying Birds pattern) that uses Asian prints, but I'm also interested in making something with circles... I should scan the fabrics into EQ5.
Hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful weekend! Sew happy!
