Long Hiatus....Sorry

I'm really blue....I never meant to be away so long!  I sometimes come across a blog that has been unattended for a long period of time, and I wonder - What happened?  Illness?  Busy-ness? 
Well, dear friends, I am even wondering about my own blog and my own absence.
One reason for it is that Blogger changed some things and I didn't feel comfortable trying to figure it all out.  And path of least resistance...that made it easier to leave it for "later".
Today I waded through difficulties even signing on, and perhaps that is a step in the right direction.  2016 ought to see me back at it. 
I want to finish my travelogue from our wonderful trip, and I have in mind reporting on all the UFOs that will be getting themselves F'd. 
Before you get too excited....those are quilts and other Unfinished Objects which are getting themselves Finished!
We had a major snow storm last week, and that meant I had every excuse to hole up and sew, sew, sew.

My Man pretty much disappeared in the snow while using the snow blower!

 A Christmas ornament given to me by a friend felt right at home in the sewing room window as the blizzard raged!

 A friend's quilt - I promised to finish...and I finally did!

 Hubby's Christmas present - completed in January....some of the tardiness was because he kept "dropping in" on me to see what I was up to - and it was supposed to be a surprise. 

 A class given by Love Apple Quilters - they are ornament shaped, can be hung or used as placemats.

 An old friend had begun to embroider these....I finished the embroidery and just got the trim and eyelet attached.  They look so pretty in my guest/sewing room.

And today I finished up this Fold 'n Stitch Wreath Centerpiece for St. Patrick's Day.  Want to make a Valentines Day one as well.
