Aren't these cute? They were on sale and I am always sad that charm packs don't make very big quilts, so, I bought 4.

I stitched at least 15 minutes every day this week. I finished ode to joey quilt here. I have been very good about sticking to the longarm and getting quilts quilted for the quilt show in October.
Long happy story. About 10 years ago. My oldest son and his 4 small children moved in after the death of his wife. We had a massive stuffing of anything that we could to make room for him. I was rug hooking this rug, and it disappeared. Over the years, we made brave searches in dark recesses for this rug. I was broken hearted we couldn't find it. We decided it must have accidently been taken to goodwill. Recently, we have been making way for my daughter and her family to visit from Utah. I am embarrassed how cluttered our house has become. And, I have tried to declutter everything I can. I pulled everything out of the dining room closet, which was no small task, and at the very bottom of the bottom box was this rug. To say I did a happy dance, would be an understatement. Now I can finish it.
