That’s the outcome. I can’t believe how much faster I am now that I’ve completed 11 blocks. Block one took me the whole weekend..and that was working pretty consistently on both Saturday and Sunday. This block only took a few hours.
I also can’t believe we’ve only one more block. I’m sad. I’ll miss the anticipation, [...]

Yippee!
Look at this…
It’s a whole roll of quilt batting. A whole roll!! A sweet lady that works with my hubby actually had this just laying around in her basement. Can you believe it? Not giving it a second thought? And guess what else?? She’s not even a quilter. What? Quilt batting in the home of [...]

Thinking It Through
My Craft Hope quilt is finally finished. I hope to get her in the mail tomorrow. A lot of thought when into this quilt. I knew I was on a time line so I wanted it to be as easy as possible but it didn’t seem as though that was what was going to happen. [...]

One Groovy Chic
I’m not exactly sure how or when Goose came up with the idea of being a Hippie for halloween but this is the outcome to her thoughts…
This was all her idea: Cute little braids with colorful beads.. a ribbon headband.. tie-dyed fleece shawl.. peace purse.. blue jean bell-bottoms with painted graffiti.. and of course, peace [...]

How I Succeeded In Reverse Applique
I had a little time this weekend to work on my Craft Hope quilt. I’ve never done reverse applique before so I’ve been enjoying the process…planning it out in my head..pinning it down and visualizing how it will hold together once it’s sewn. So far so good. It’s really quite easy. If you’ve never attempted [...]

A Slight Detour
If you haven’t stopped by to see what Craft Hope has going on you need to. This time they’re collecting quilts for the homeless. Jade said she was hoping for 200+ volunteers.. when I stopped in she had 199.. I saw it as a sign from above and immediately signed up. It makes me happy [...]

BOM #10
I love this little block with its cute little kitty and chubby ole witch. So much creativity went into designing these blocks. I’m so grateful to Anne at Bunny Hill for sharing them with all of us. It’s hard to believe that there are only two left.
This year has flown by. I’m not a big [...]

I Need To Practice
What I learned from Bunny Hill’s block 8 is that if I don’t constantly work on my applique I tend to forget what I’ve already learn. Sigh.

What’s Next?
It’s a new day and finally all those projects I had going on are now complete. It feels good to allow myself the pleasure of thinking of something NEW to create. Of course I still have the BOM that I’m participating in and my knitting group is about to start socks for fall (I’m siked) [...]

July BOM
Block #7 is finally complete and it’s a good thing because it won’t be long before #8 is out. I guess you could say that I put this one off a bit. You see, I knew it was coming. Actually, I knew about it way back in Jan. when I was struggling with those stars. [...]
