January Schnibble~

Thanks in big part to yesterday's Valentine's Sewing Party hosted by Kelly & Joan, I finished my January Schnibble~ Madeline! :-) Whoohoo! :-)) The quilting is going to wait until I go to the LQS to rent the longarm again. Then I am thinking about doing all over swirls and hearts. I make much better hearts on the LA than I can do with my home sewing machine. ;-) LOL

This weekend has gone fast! Tomorrow I will have something for the design wall. ;-) See you then~

Happy Stitchin'!

Sewing Party 3

I sewed the first star block to the outer triangles without mixing up the triangles any, so rather than rip ;-) I just did them all that way. :-)) I don't have the borders cut, so I guess I will stop for now, finish up laundry, think about dinner etc. ;-) Hopefully I can get the borders on before the weekend is over.

Thanks Kelly & Joan for a fun day of sewing. And if you want to see lots of Valentine's sewing inspiration~ check out the list on Kelly's blog!

Until next time~ Happy Stitchin'!!

Valentine's Sewing Party Continues~

My 'hearts' turned into geese! :-) I am working on my 'Madeline' Schnibble quilt today for the Year of Schnibbles group. I was going to come back and add the photo to the previous post, but I got carried away and sewed a few blocks! :-o Sorry. Do you have a 'Cotton Picker'? I got mine from a friend in one of my swaps last year and I love it! It really gets the fuzz out of my mat when I am trimming things up.

I think this is my favorite Schnibble so far~ y'all know I'm crazy, but did you know I am crazy'bout stars too? I am! :-))

I have put a loaf of bread in the bread machine, the laundry is going and I think I've been up/down the stairs a dozen times! It's time for a mini break to watch a few quilting programs. ;-) My TV is no where near my machine, so I'll get back to the rest of the stars soon!
