Also, I have assembled the quilt sandwich for this Jacob's Ladder that I am making for a dear friend who is divorcing and needs something for comfort during this difficult time.
Actually, the top is one that I made nearly ten years ago, but was never really enthused about. In the summer, when I dug it out of the basement and had it airing out on the line, my friend saw it and mentioned how much she loved it. I knew that if I couldn't give it to someone who appreciated it, it would never get finished. Here you can see the backing - it's from Sandi Henderson's Farmers' Market line.
Plus, I have fabric for another bee block, this one for Barb, which I haven't yet touched, not to mention being behind on replying to the comments that people so kindly left about my foundation piecing attempts. Time to get moving!

You are doing fine with the crochet! My first attempts were so tight that I couldn't get the hook in the second row!! Love that mug in your picture too!! Great gift for your friend.
Blessings,

That is so great that you found someone to love a quilt that you might not have finished. Maybe I should take out my old UFOs and show them around. Maybe someone would actually inspire me to finish one or two. And I am thinking about learning to crochet this year, too :)

I love the yarn you've picked out! It's so sweet and Valentinish! I've actually picked crocheting back up after a 25+ yead period of not doing any! I'm doing a scarf. LOL It will be done around spring. :o)
The quilt for the friend is generous and beautiful and you are so thoughtful!
How funny, I can ONLY crochet...no knitting for me, I'm only good with one needle at a time!
Jacobs Ladder, that's on my quilt list, lovely fabrics and sure to be a pick me up for your friend.
Congratulations for quilting your own tops!! Another thing I won't try.
I ALWAYS love your pictures, you inspire me to do better with mine.
What a beautiful quilt. I'm sure it will comfort your friend in such a difficult time. What a great friend you are to her!
