To Finish or Not

 December is here again and like most of this fall, it's creepily not cold.  Rainy and windy, yes, and occasionally foggy, but according to the Farmer's Almanac, it won't get really cold until after the first of the year.  If you could say a prayer for those in Washington who are being flooded out, they surely could use it.

I planted some nasturtiums among my veggies this year and they went crazy.  They've stopped blooming, but the leaves look great in what's usually two dirt beds in the winter.  I also have some volunteers that showed up in the pepper pots.  It looks pretty cool even with the slightly chewed leaf.  What looks like frost is actually dew.

I haven't been good or even marginal about writing here for a long time.  However, this year (starting a little early for '26) I want to finish some UFOs.  The truth is that I'm a good starter, but not always such a great finisher.  For some, I just stopped to make something that had a deadline.  And then it just went into the UFO pile.  For some of the others, I just didn't know how I wanted to quilt them.  And for a few, I knew what I wanted but knew I didn't have the skills to do. what I wanted.  

For instance:

This two-block piece is kind of neat looking, if kind of an awkward size.  

It was made with leftovers from the runner below that I finished the year I started it.  I know - really amazing. 

 

The plan is to finish it this weekend.  Since it's already late Saturday afternoon the plan has gotten a little iffy.  But it's only the trimming and binding that need doing, so it's possible.  Then I'll find a place for it. Somehow.

The actual point of blogging about it is to keep me working on these projects as someone may actually see this.  

Leave a comment if you can think of one and check back. 

You never know.

Merry Everything!
