January Finishes
Most spam comments I get are deleted by the two programs I have installed to protect against such things. Every once in a while a spam comment sneaks through and ends up in the spam folder. Usually they are from a non-quilter trying to promote their website by commenting on one of my posts. This morning I found these two gems in the spam folder.

RNOlivia writes: “When some people are stuck with term paper thesis writing, therefore I will offer to buy persuasive essay at some good custom writing service in such case.”
Hmmm. These are from the supposed “distinguished essay writing/good custom writing service.” I do hope that “honest students” all over America aren’t paying for essays with similar English grammar.
Okay, on to the finishes! The first three are just to the finished top stage. I don’t have a picture of the Orange Peel topper [Improved 9 Patch] and I’m house sitting so I’ll try to get a shot of that some time next week.
This little LeMoyne Star wall hanging, Polka Dot & Paisley, I made with the scraps from the table topper. I watched the free Jinny Beyer episode on The Quilt Show and she demonstrated a better way [than what I was doing] to put together 8 pointed stars. So, you know, I had to try it out. I think I’m going to hang this on the wall near the sewing machine when I get it quilted. This next one is a class sample. I’m going to teach a Winding Ways class at the LQS at the end of February/first part of March.
I also finished putting the binding on three scrappy quilts. I made a Scrappy Irish Chain quilt and two matching table toppers as leader/ender projects. My friend, Stacy at Mimi’s Quilting Cottage, quilted them for me. I’ve already sold one of the table toppers. Here is the quilt in all it’s scrappy, crinkled goodness…
Now I’m hoping for a repeat performance of finishes for February!
