I figured it&#8217;s about time to update, or people are going to think that I&#8217;ve either vanished or stopped quilting.  It&#8217;s neither actually.<br \/>\n**New development #1!  I finally gave my Granny her quilt!  We finally made it up to see her late last week.   I couldn&#8217;t believe how nervous I was about giving it away though.  I think I&#8217;m intimidated by the fact that she&#8217;s been quilting for longer than I, and my work isn&#8217;t up to her quality.  That&#8217;s just me being a nutcase though.  She loved it, and said she can&#8217;t wait to take it to her quilting group this spring.  I was just happy to finally give it to her.  It felt like I waited so long for it.<br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gallery.avenueb.org\/albums\/Grannys-Quilt\/aay.sized.jpg\" width=300 alt=\"Here, have a quilt!\"\/><\/center><br \/>\n**New development #2!  I&#8217;m a tard.  I didn&#8217;t take any pictures of the scarves I knit for my sister, my sister-in-law, and the student that I work with.  I was in such a rush at the end to get them finished and wrapped, that I completly forgot to take pictures.  That&#8217;s half the reason why I haven&#8217;t had anything to write about for the past several weeks.  That was all I was doing, and then I didn&#8217;t have anything to show for it.  I felt stupid on that one.<br \/>\n**New development #3!  As for my crappy Christmas cards, I only sent out 10 of them.  The rest of them looked like worse crap than the less crappy ones did.  I&#8217;m not making cards next year.<br \/>\n**New development #4!  I&#8217;m finally making headway with Laura and Steve&#8217;s wedding quilt.  The end result will be this:<br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jinnybeyer.com\/patterns\/images\/main23a.jpg\" width=300 alt=\"Jinny Beyer's Cross Walk Quilt\"\/><\/center><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s a Jinny Beyer pattern, called &#8220;Cross Walk.&#8221;  I&#8217;m pretty much sticking to the colors that are used in that photo, but in mine, there&#8217;s more contrast between the green, blue, teal and purple.  Now that I&#8217;m done with Christmas presents, I&#8217;ve been working on it every chance I get.  As soon as I get a few more blocks together, I&#8217;ll post a new picture.<br \/>\nI hope everyone else had a wonderful holiday!
