♪♫♪My Mojo's Back And I'm.. ♪♫♪

...getting into trouble! ♪♫♪ Hey-la, Hey-la! My mojo's back! ♪♫♪ I know the song is about a boyfriend, but... I'm singing about my mojo! :-) Thank you all! Your inspiring blog posts is what put me over the top~ and got me into the trouble~ I'll explain that in a bit. ;-)

And a special thanks to Mary at Quilt Hollow who sent me this wonderful 'just because' surprise! {{hugs}} It is just perfect for a Thimbleberries nut like me. :-) Thank you Mary!! :-)


I did get a bunch more of my Christmas Piece and Goodwill blocks finished from the sew in last weekend.  Now I need to cut more pieces.  I'm loving this quilt! :-)


And I started on the next Le Petite project. The pattern is Sweet Spot by Carrie Nelson. I'm working on the geese~~ 


And now for the trouble~~ :-))


Did you see the wonderful embroidery BOM from Little Miss Shabby called Birdie Stitches? I'm behind, but I'm working on it~


Sorry the photo is bad. I guess blue tracing pen doesn't show up very well. And it's a sunny day! I'll show you a better shot after I embroider some more. ;-)

And more trouble!~ I peeked in at Bonnie's blog this morning and saw the great BOM from EQ! Yikes! How can I resist?!  Oh yeah~ I'm getting into trouble!! ♪♫♪♪♫♪ :-)) And lovin' it! LOL

Until next time~
 Happy Stitchin'!

December Le Petite~

I wasn't sure I'd get it together~ but I sewed today!! :-) This Prairie Point Tree was designed by Cara and was a project at the Moda Bake Shop. Sinta and Sherri picked it as our December Le Petite project.




I made mine small. And purposely didn't use any holiday fabric so I could keep it up through the winter. Hopefully I will get it quilted this week yet, but just in case~ my top is done! :-) I had a couple cardinal buttons that I'll add when its quilted.

Thanks for stopping by~
Hope you have a wonderful New Year!

Goals, Completions, Celebrating!

Hi everyone! Sorry I have been a bad blogger of late~ I've been visiting, just didn't have a lot to talk about here. Well, now I have a lot to talk about! lol

I finished my Charming Girls Club goals for the past 2 months. One was to do Butter Churn~ pattern by Sherri K. Falls and the November Le Petite project.

Another goal was to corral battings and backings to rent the HQ at my LQS. And I'm happy to report I got everything quilted and bound(!) that I had hoped to do! :-) This is the BOM we did on the HGTV quilter's message board. My friend Lindsay and I picked the blocks from various internet sites and presented them to the board members to do each month. I also used EQ to downsize the 12 inch block to a 4 inch one. I made the layout in EQ7, got my blocks together and took it to quilt last week. I used an all over panto called 'Featheration' by Meredith England.  I used 80/20 batting because I wanted the crinkle look. ;-) I'm really happy with how it turned out. :-)

If you are still with me~ I had this book in my stash and as I was unpacking I realized, it has very cute and quick projects in it, but isn't really my style. If you'd like to have it, just leave me a comment telling me so. If you really, really want it, and are a follower; tell me that in a second comment. This will be a short giveaway~ I'm headed to the PO Tuesday and would get it mailed to you then. So I'll draw Monday afternoon.  Good luck!




Happy Stitchin'!

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
