Mail!~

Yes, I get excited when the mail shows up~ especially if there are swap blocks coming home. ;-) Today I received the second part to the Summer Block Swap blocks. I'm not sure what I'll do with them yet, but it was an easy block and the variety will certainly make a cheery something! :-) Thanks to Margaret for the fun!

I am still working away at getting borders on quilt tops. Hopefully I will have some photo's for you in the next few days. In the meantime~ how do you like my pressing station? :-)) DD bought a futon for her apt and the height of the box is perfect! DH made the large pressing board for me a few years ago. It worked great in my loft sewing room, but since we've moved, I haven't found a good spot for it. When I saw the futon box in the hallway waiting to go to DD's, a lightbulb went off! LOL :-)) Hmm, I wonder if she'll let me keep her futon for a few weeks? ;-)

Hope y'all are having a good week~
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!! :-)

A Slacker~

~ that's me! :-o My get-up-and-go just got-up-and-went this week! I did finally manage to finish up my colorblock blocks for the Four Seasons Quilt Swap. And now it looks like I picked the 2 most popular colors! :-o Oh well, they will be in the mail next week. Put your shades on and cover your ears~ they are a little loud. ;-)

Hopefully my 'mojo' will reappear soon and I'll get back to sewing next week!

Until then~

Happy Stitchin'!! ;-)

~Mail Call~~

Remember being at camp for the summer and having mail call? I worked as a camp counselor one summer and mail call was always the highlight of the evening meal! We had to dance, sing, tell a joke etc to get our mail~ always a riot! LOL :-)

Anyway, my first round of colorblocks is here! (See the button in my sidebar.) I love 'em! After the next round, there should be a nice number for a lap quilt. I added the ones I kept for myself to the photo, so if you were in the swap and wondering at the odd number, that's why! :-)

Now I'm headed back to do a little sewing for the next round. :-)

Until next time~

Happy Stitchin'!! :-)

Colorblocks~

My sewing machine has been so happy to be running the last few days!~ And I'm happy too! lol :-) I almost have my first round of colorblocks completed. (see blue link box in sidebar) I just have 3 or 4 more to sew up. This really is a fast and easy block! I can't wait for the rainbow of blocks to return to me in July, but in the meantime I plan to get to work on round 2. :-) Along with all my other swap blocks etc. ~ gotta keep that machine happy!!! ;-)

Hope you are finding time to sew too!

Until next time~

Happy Stitchin'! :-)
