Embroider Bee

I have many quilt blocks ready to be sewn into quilts now, thanks to the swaps and bees...and many quilt tops still awaiting completion from 2010.  I pulled a bunch out today so I can get them finished up...one of my resolutions for next year.  Perhaps I'll give them as Christmas gifts next year!  =)
