Hiatus over !

Guess I've been gone quite awhile !

But I've been busy, don'tcha know?

I finished my Hexagon Bible cover and I'm just as pleased as punch with it. I especially love all the red that it is finished  with.........a good reminder of the precious blood of Jesus, that was shed for our salvation. 

The inside of the cover incorporates Poinsettia blooms to remind me of Christmas.

The pencil pocket on the front, inside, is so handy, and doesn't cause the cover to stand open at all.....a nice little surprise.  I used to keep the pencil inside the jacket flap itself, against the Bible, but it rolled around all over the place.

And today, I discovered that the instructions for piecing the quilt top needed for the quiltalong,

 over at A Few Scraps blog, had already been posted for days and I didn't even know it.

Photos of people's tops started showing up in the Flickr group and I thought, "huh?"

So, today I got busy and made my top.........

recognize any of these fabrics, Jodie? 

I've had the children fabric and rocking horse fabric, along with some red coordinates, put away forever, never finding just the right project for them.  They go really well with these cheater's cloth scraps, I think.

I plan on using the Christmas panel that you just sent me, as the back, and Kelley will have a reversible little holiday quilt.
