~~Design Wall Monday~~

Once again it is Judy L's Design Wall Monday and what is on my wall? Today it is on my cutting mat. :-)

I am back to making My Blue Heaven blocks (from Quilter'sCache). Bingo~Bonnie and I have been making these blocks to swap. (Go & check out her design wall!) Anyway, I am behind. I thought I only needed to do these 6 to finish up 12 for her & 12 for me... but that girl is so speedy! She has 18 blocks ready to swap! :-o Since I looove swapping blocks~ I am off to make another dozen, so I have 18 to swap too. Thank goodness for Triangulations! LOL :-))

Until next time~

Happy Stitchin'!! :-)

My Mojo is Back! :-)

A diversion from my regular piecing did it! :-))

I made a Sweet Treat bag!~ the pattern can be found in the 'Fun Stuff' at Moda Fabrics. And it was fun! I used some of the scraps I won a while back from Sheree's Alchemy. And it was fun! {Did I mention that already? Sorry.} ;-)) Since I didn't have a HoneyBun, I cut strips of different widths from the scraps. A few I pieced. And I added in the turquoise rick-rack because I thought it needed a little focal point. I used a magnetic closure instead of velcro~ yes, I know it is a little off, I wanted it centered on that stripe so my stripes would line up when it was closed. ;-) The next one will be better~ the next one? Of course there will be more! It was fun!! :-) And DD practically begged for this one! LOL :-))

Have a happy day~ I'm headed back to sew some more!

Oh yeah, my mojo is definitely back!! :-))

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'!! ;-)

Jewel Boxes~

I just love the jewel box block pattern~ and using the Triangulations technique for all those HST's makes it really easy! ;-) I'm hosting a block swap on the HGTV quilting forum for this block in 30's fabrics and white on whites. My blocks are finished and ready for swapping! :-) It feels great to have them finished! Hopefully, you can click the photo for a closer look~ the box right beside the blocks has my extra's that I made for me. :-)

Have a great weekend and until next time~

Happy stitchin'!!

**whoops~blogger tipped my photo! :-/ sorry about that!**

~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'!! :-)
