Happiness on a 1/2 Acre

I have been listening to Jane Austen's Mansfield Park for the past week or so, while I have been sewing and catching up on a few friendship blocks I need to make.  I must say that I have enjoyed it very much and words like 'indeed', 'vexed', 'perhaps', 'displeasure', 'hasten', 'regard', and 'agreeable' have been running through my mind.  Definitely not the kind of refined language I am used to!

 But on to the blocks.  I have a few completed, but still lack a few more before next week.  I despise being behind!

 Sally wants a snowman, any size, blue background, no Christmas colors.  Mine is sure a plump and ugly fellow, but hopefully he will work for her quilt.

 Timpi wants a flower; any flower, just happy colors with a white background, any size.

 Jamie wants a 12 1/2" block with 5 4" circles from the ADORN ME Moda collection. 

My, my, this sounds like a Christmas list!  I started a new civil war quilting project last night by cutting out fabric and started the sewing today.  Although I already have 5 or so UNFINISHED civil war era quilt projects, I had to start another one!  I need another book to listen to and pass the time!
