Good morning from a frosty wonderland!
We don't have any snow, but we got the cold and frost, and well, after Christmas I am ready for warmer weather! LOL
I spent this week working on blocks.
I belong to a group of quilters called the 'Sunshine Quilters'. We started on the HGTV forums years ago and now we have a small Groupbox group. We make blocks for each other for charity quilts. I am trying to get everyone's blocks made early this year as last year I ran out of steam toward the end of the year. ;-)
These blocks will go into quilts for kids or Project Linus. This gal makes charity quilts year 'round, and I really admire her for that! When all the blocks come together, the white will be stars. :-)
These two will go into a wheelchair quilt for a Veteran. This lady supports her local VA with her quilts~ another very good cause!
This gal is new to our group and requested 18" blocks to be made into NICU quilts for incubators.
I asked for Rail Fence blocks in red, white & blue and hope to do a Veteran quilt too.
I am also sewing along with Pat Sloan's 182 Day Solstice Challenge
I'm not sure if I will make all 25 blocks, or just enough for a twin size quilt.
This will be for my DGS. The light background has tiny gold dots in it. ;-)
I am headed back to my sewing machine and the Bonnie Hunter mystery blocks.
I got a bit behind, but as long as I keep plugging away I will get there!
What are you sewing?
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!

Look at you go! Great blocks.
Very pretty blocks and a fun idea for this group! I'm saving the Solstice Challenge blocks but haven't made any yet. This week my 2 part time jobs have kept me out of the sewing room completely. I need to get some prep work done over the weekend for a class I'm going to teach at The Pin Cushion the next weekend.
Great blocks - love the planetary with the blue
Love the fabrics you are using for the Solstice blocks. I can't wait to see the En Provence blocks.
What fun to cross off tasks while sewing! Nice blocks.
Wonderful blocks and nice that they can be made into quilts for kids.
