F-11

This one is called On Target.  It was sewn this summer but needed to have the little wedges appliquéd.  Next?

LS-3

This is left side number 3 and is called Connie's Brownies.  It was sewn already, I just made the appliqué bits.
Speaking of appliqué bits, I am a bit behind on the hand sewing.  Maybe I should pack up the machine and grab a thimble?  

J-12

Rebecca's Basket went together likety split.  The handle will need a bit if stitching of course, but that will happen soon I am sure.  I missed my opportunity to head out, it is dark now.  My own kids are out trick or treating.  Getting them up in the morning will be such a chore.  Poor Kurt is hanging in tough as a single dad, it isn't easy doing it all.

J-5

This one is called John Jacob's Windmill.  I still need to appliqué down the little corner bits, but I will move on for now and come back to it.  I was thinking about going out to explore and maybe get some food, but I am still full from lunch and feeling pretty cozy in my room here at the hotel.  Maybe later.

H-8

The sections were done for this one quite a while ago, but the center needed to be appliquéd together.  I did that last night while watching Cloud Atlas on my I-pad.  What a strange movie.  We made good progress today on our questions and should be done tomorrow before lunch.  They want to make sure we are all gone before people start rolling into town for the big Georgia Florida game on Saturday.

M-5

This one is called Mother's Point.  I will admit that I dug through the bin looking for one that was easy peasy.  The picture showed a four patch sashed by white on four sides but the diagram showed only two sides.  Now that I look back at the book, for patches are roatated differently, but I think I like mine the way they are.  I think I'll settled in for a little handwork now.  There isn't anything on TV, but HBO to go is working great on the hotel wifi.

I-9

This one is called Chase a Myth.  It was paper pieced in three sections.  Easy enough, but it seemed to take a long time.  It was a slow and steady day of reading test questions.

RS8

Right side 8 is all appliqué.  I think it is the last one for tonight.  I am going to settle in for some handwork.  Yeah!

I-1

Ralph and Nelda's Wedding.  This one was super simple traditional piecing.  Wish they were all this quick. 

I-7

Mac and Muff was paper pieced with more itty bitty appliqué.  I thought a 5 inch square of yellow would be enough.  Way too close for comfort.  Next?
