I hope you have a great month of sewing, stitching and quilting!
Circa 2016 anyone?
My friend Barbara (no blog) talked me into doing the Temecula Quilt Co's 2016 project. You can read about it and get the first instructions ~HERE and the second step is ~HERE
Since I love making mini's I decided to play along. The first step was easy~ 4 pinwheel blocks. I may re-do one of them. I was digging in my bits and pieces shoebox to make these blocks and the contrast isn't the best in that one. :-/ The next step~ 12 mini 9-patch blocks. Easy? Right?
There are really 12 there! I just didn't spread them out. ;-)
I used all sorts of little bits of my CW scraps I had been keeping~ I may get the whole box used up with this quilt! :-)
If you would like to play along, please let me know and I'll stop by your blog and cheer you on!
Last week I told you I did a bit of quilting~
It doesn't really show, does it?
This is the back. It won't show in the finished projects. I just loaded an old sheet I had as the bottom layer on the longarm. Funny thing is~ when my DS saw it he thought it would work great for pillows for his couch! That old sheet?! LOL He told me free was always best. LOL ;-)
I am making him pillows, but the rest of the sheet is going to be for the pillow inserts, not the actual pillows.
I guess that is the news for today. I am off to work on a little Valentine project~ I'll be back to show you soon!
Until then~
Happy stitchin'!!

I'm doing the Circa 2016 quilt-along it's a great way to use some of my scraps. And I just realized I'm three nine-patches short because I thought we need just 9;-) Thanks for the info now I need to make three more (lol).
I too am doing the Circa mini's. No blog tho.
So cute.I`m playing along .Hope to sew the nine patch this week.
Very cute blocks. I've been watching this online but haven't made any yet.
Love the Temecula blocks. I've been thinking about them, but have so much on the plate right now that I think I will wait.
Looks like fun....and I would love to do it as well but time will not permit..pooey.
Those blocks look tiny, I just wouldn't have the patience.
