WIP Wednesday 08/27/14

Wednesday's seem to arrive faster and faster every week.  (Can you believe there are only 17 Fridays before Christmas?! 2014 will be over in the blink of an eye...)

As you can see, I have made some progress on my Winter/Christmas Wall Quilt.  Next week, I will have Barbara's name finished.

I also managed to knock a few items off of my list of goals.  :)  I may have added a few new items - but the total number has actually decreased.  (The total went from 21 to 18, and one of those is nearly complete. Whew!)

This week, I also shared about my first experience entering items in the county fair.  If you missed it, you can read about that here. 

To see Sharon's beautiful progress on her hussif, and to see what others are up to this week, check out this post on pintangle.com and the links in the comments.
