I finished my first quilt top of the year yesterday. It is the Flea Market Fancy quilt I started back when Finley was born in July. I put the blocks away a few months ago in order to work Christmas gifts and orders for the shop, and I'm so happy to get back to work on it. I took a couple shots of it while I was ironing.I spread it out on our bed yesterday to show Steve.

Sewing this week has been a little sporadic, but I was able to get a couple really fun projects knocked off of the to-do list.First off is a mug rug (i.e. oversized quilted coaster) I made for a swap I am participating in over on Flickr. I decided use some of my favorite green fabrics scraps along with natural linen to create this tree mini quilt.
