Charming Girls Jan Finish

I didn't do anywhere near as good as I wanted to do this month. My husband asked me to do P90X with him so this has cut into my sewing time and my energy level. I have enjoyed working out with him but need to get more sewing done.

I did get one of my Jan projects completed. I got my half pint quilt bound so it is now ready for its new home. I really love how this quilt came out.

Here is a close up of the binding. I really love the look of a scrappy binding. I think it adds that little something extra to a quilt.
I wasn't able to make it to the quilt room for the group quilt but I did manage to work on my good night sweetheart quilt at a sit and stitch on wed. It is still packed away for this wed so no pics.
I also got to go to an all day mystery sew at my LQS. You just show up and sew. They have the fabric all cut and they do all the ironing for you all day. I was able to complete this top today. I just need to add the borders and quilt. I think I might even(gulp) quilt from the front and not use a panto. This is also my design floor Monday as this has not made it to my wall yet.

On a non quilt related topic. I think our new cat Midge(the all black one) is really started to bond with our other cat cookie. Don't they look so cute together.

Now the guinea pigs on the other hand are not very happy with Midge at all. Can't say that I blame them. We did some rearranging so that the guinea pigs are now out of Midges reach.

I love your half pint quilt. The colors blend so beautifully.
I wish I lived near your LQS. It sounds like heaven to be able to sit and sew with all the cutting and ironing done for you. Love this quilt as well.

I love the little 9-patch quilt. It's *charming.*

Midge and Cookie look like they are bonding nicely. I know that it sometimes can be challenging to put cats together; it looks like they're doing great and two cats always seem to enjoy each other when they get along.
