Time Flies When Your Sewing...

....Machine is Humming!  :-)  And my baby has had a workout the past week. ;-)

I finished 18 blocks for the red/white block swap I'm hosting on a message board, and when the other's blocks started rolling in I realized I didn't have enough blocks to give everyone a good assortment back! Eeek!! Usually I have a good number of swappers, but this time there were only 11 of us... so what to do? Make more blocks! I made an additional 9 to help even out the numbers. I was so busy sewing and swapping and packing~ I totally forgot the photo!! :-o  I'll take one of my blocks soon.

Then I got to work on the Le Petite project for this month~ it was 'quilter's choice'. :-) We could choose any Scnibble pattern we wanted. Well, I had fallen in love with Full House when I first saw it on Carrie's blog.  And then she went and made more! :-)  I chose to use my charm packs of  Saltbox Harvest... I've only been holding on to them for a year! :-o  I love how it turned out!  Thanks Carrie for another fun Schnibble!!  And thanks also to Sherri and Sinta for the fun every month!


I also finished the next step in the mystery quilt along Leslie is hosting~  I played around with possible lay-outs, but I'm a bit confused by the half plain, half HST squares... any hints Leslie?? :-)


I hope you are finding some fun time for sewing too!
Until next time~

Happy stitchin'!!
