Finished!

All 32 of them!! :-)


For anyone just stopping by~ I am exchanging these blocks with Bingo~Bonnie. We have been working on them for the past year. We make 2 of each block~ one to keep, one to trade. Our final exchange will be for 16 blocks. The pattern is from Quilter's Cache by Marcia Hohn. It's called My Blue Heaven. We did scale it back to a little smaller block. We chose to use all scrappy fabrics for the small HST's and blues for the larger one. I'm not sure when we will mail the final sets, but I am looking forward to this quilt! :-)

I think, once the quilt is all together, I am going to have to count the HST's in it~ I think I will be amazed! ;-)

Until next time~
Happy stitchin'!!

Humming Along~

Oh yeah~ I am counting right now! :-)

Hope y'all are having a great day!

Design Wall Monday & We Have a Winner!

I did not accomplish much over the weekend~ too many things pulling me in other directions. But its a new week and hope springs! :-))

I did finish this little hand towel~ it's an Aunt Martha pattern and has other herbs to stitch too. I think I might get hooked on towel stitching~ fast, fun, useful~ what's not to like? :-)

To be inspired by beautiful quilts, blocks, and other fun design walls check out Judy L's blog. ;-)

I know, you want to know who won my little giveaway~
DS drew a name before heading out to school this AM~


Congratulations Karen! I'll be sending you an email for your address. :-)


Thanks, everyone, for all your wonderful comments on my last post!~ I usually don't mess up counting so badly. Oh well, I did finish the HST's and am off to work on blocks! ;-)

Have a great week and until next time..
Happy stitchin'!!

Friday, 'Operator Error', and...

Friday already! This week went too fast!~ too bad we can't have do-overs. ;-) LOL

I'll bet you are wondering about that 'operator error'~ yeah, that would be me. ;-) I thought I had all the HST's done for my last exchange of blocks with Bonnie (see this post)... until I laid everything out and counted yesterday! I had in my head that we needed to do 16 and 16 stuck... I even made more HST's so I'd have plenty to choose from. Well, I should've had 32 stuck in my head, because we are making doubles of all the blocks~ one to give, one to keep. So in reality, I have enough for 8 sets of blocks. :-/ Some real 'fuzzy math' on my part! So back to the scraps! ;-))

While I was out last Friday I picked up this cute panel~

Actually I picked up 2! :-) And this book has lots of cute ideas and fun things to make quickly and easily.

So how about a giveaway?! ~ just leave me a comment for a chance. No need to sign on to follow me (unless you want to remember to come back to see who wins) ;-) and no need to post about it. I really appreciate all of you stopping by and visiting with me and I would like to treat each of you, but since I can't do that, we'll just keep it our little giveaway, ok? I'll draw on Monday and let you know where it will be headed. Good luck! :-)

Now off to stitch more HST's!
Have a happy day and until next time~
Happy stitching!

Wednesday Already!

This week is just flying for me! Do you feel the same way? I did manage to accomplish a few things and have high hopes to get more sewing time today. :-)

This is the first block in the Jelly Roll Quilt Along at Moose on the Porch Quilts. Since I couldn't find a Jelly Roll that wasn't fuzzy and falling apart on my outing last week, I decided to cut into my CW stash. ;-) Maybe it was a good thing those Jelly Rolls were in such bad shape~ LOL :-)

And during the Olympics, I stitched. :-) Here are two of the blocks in the Nice People, Nice Things pattern set by Helen at Hugs 'n Kisses. hmmm~ the link won't show up. Guess you will have to copy and paste it in your browser. ~ http://www.hugsnkisses.typepad.com/ I don't know why blogger doesn't like the link. :-/ I love the little blocks! ;-) I'm not sure if I am going to make all the blocks for the quilt~ I'm having fun just choosing favorites now. ;-)

That's all from me~
Hope you have a great day and until next time~
Happy Stitching!! :-)

CG&GQC March Goals

Another month~ another list of goals... :-) Hope will spring eternal this month! LOL :-))

1. Absolutely must finish this quilt top so it can come up off of the floor! ;-)

2. This month's Schnibbles. Sorry I don't have a photo~ I need to get the pattern and figure out the fabric first. ;-)

3. My HGTV BOM~ this is the photo of the blocks for this month. I'd really like to finish up all the blocks for the year and get the mini's figured out. You won't be able to see them until they are revealed each month, but it would be a huge weight off of my shoulders to have them ready to go.

4. My on-going projects....
Piece & Goodwill needs 3 or more blocks added this month~

My exchange of MyBlueHeaven blocks with Bingo~Bonnie~ I need to work on more blocks now.

The Quilt Along at Moose on the Porch Quilts... I haven't made block one yet and block two will be out in 2 weeks. :-o

Hmmm, I hope I haven't forgotten anything. I think I have plenty to keep me busy! :-)

Until next time~
Happy stitchin'!

Design Wall Monday~

Today's design wall is my large ironing board. I pulled it out to press the rows for the Vintage Sheet quilt, so thought I'd just pin up my BOM blocks. :-)

I am helping with this BOM on the HGTV quilter's message board. We are using traditional star blocks and then also making a 4 inch mini version. My job is to figure out the cutting sizes for the mini and make one. :-o (what did I get myself into?!!?) Pictured are the January, February, & March blocks. For the March mini I didn't think too many would want to try it, so I made 3 versions. There are 65 pieces in this block! :-o Now you know why I am called 'crazy'! LOL :-))

To see more great design walls visit Judy L's Patchwork Times blog. You will be inspired! :-)

Until next time~
Happy stitchin'!!
