OMG November Done!

I met my November goal!  Done, Done, on to the next one keeps playing in my head which is the chorus of a Foo Fighters song and oh so appropriate for OMG.  

I completed the two blocks that needed my attention.



All assembled!


Now on with the quilting.  I have discovered Angela Walters You Tube channel and her videos on machine quilting and I am hooked.  Angela quilts for Tula Pink, who designed the Mad Hatter Pattern, and I hope to quilt this fun quilt in a similar manner.  

Now what do I want to work on next month?  Looks like I can't "think" about it too much since tomorrow is another month.  I am sure I will come up with something.

Take a look at what everyone else has accomplished this month by clicking on this link:

 OMG November Finish

Geez, Patty couldn't make it any easier to add a link but for some reason my mouse is on strike and I had to go old school.  Silly mouse because you know it is in no way the operator!

Cheers,

OMG--Tea Party

As the saying goes, "I'm late, I'm late for a very important date!"  I am really late as it has been several years since I have joined the linky OMG party at Elm Street Quilts.  When I sort of kept up in the past I seemed to get more done and I am going to try to do so again.  So here goes!  

My one monthly goal for Novenber is going to be to work on my Tula Pink Mad Hatter's Tea Party quilt. I loved the quilt from the moment I saw it and it took me almost a year to order the kit because I had to "think" about it as I don't usually order kits as they seem to not get done.  I have been working on it off and one since February.  

I have the teapots, cups and hats done and just need to make way for the mouse, which is so darn cute, and the rabbit.  I would also like to get the top assembled as well but we will see.  



And I need to finish the mouse and start on the rabbit.


The last time I was in London, which was forever ago in 2012, I convinced my friend to go to the high tea at the Sanderson Hotel as they have an Alice in Wonderland themed HighTea.  She thought I was nuts and I had to drag her kicking and screaming to the tea, lol.  I love high teas!   I couldn't find my photos so I am sharing what we had from the book Tea & Cake which is where I learned of some wonderful bakeries in London.




Lastly, as a child at Christmas I used to watch the 1933 version of Alice in Wonderland and as you can see it apparently left quite an impression on me.

Today, I am linking up with everyone at Elm Street Quilts for the November OMG.  Click on this link below to see what everyone is working on and then be sure to visit at the end of the month to see all of the beautiful accomplishments.  


Cheers!
