How about a single "jar block" with pickles in the jar?

Just an idea!

Gorgeous quilt. I have that pattern and all the fabric for it picked out.

Nothing right now tho I should work on Christmas gifts. I think I will
print foundations to make 2 blocks to go with some swap blocks I received
recently.

Listening to your list makes me feel "normal" Kate. :-) Lucky DH. The
St. Mark's Wall-hanging is fabulous! Can't wait to see your black,
white, and green version.
At the sewing machine, I'm stitching blocks together for a quilt for a
friend. Actually, I'm making two quilts--one for the friend and one for
her DH. Her DH's top is pieced except for the outer border. I kind of
regard these two quilts as one project since they will be given to them
at the same time.
As for handwork, I'm cutting and piecing as I go another scrappy
sunburst pattern (at least that's what I call the block--same block as
in my Lady Liberty quilt). And since I'm going through the scraps for
the sunburst quilt, I'm also cutting for a scrappy Drunkard's, but I'm
not piecing it yet.
Yesterday morning, I spray basted my scrappy star, and as soon as it's
cool enough that I can hold it on my lap, I will start hand-quilting it
(which means I'll have to put the above handwork project(s) away)
In my closet, I have two finished tops (Sister's Choice and black,
white, and red) that need to be sandwiched and quilted, and another top
that I'm still piecing. Interrupted myself on this one when I decided
to make the pair of quilts for my friend and her DH.
Now I'm off to see how crazy..uh.., I mean productive everyone else is. :-)
Best regards,
Michelle in Nevada

Sent off the baby quilt for my niece's soon-to-be little one [a girl
they say, better be based on the colors of this one just sent!], the
top for the baby quilt for my cop friend and his wife is ready to be
sandwiched and tied [flannel backing washed and cut, batting cut and
read], fabrics picked out for the third baby quilt.
Going to start a mini quilt project soon, that will hang on one of the
table top display stands. Too many ideas running inside my head to
pick one first.
