Friday and Mail!

Remember this post? Well guess what came in the mail?! Blocks from Bingo~Bonnie!! Whoohoo! :-) I find it funny how we are making the same blocks, using blue in the same spots and yet our blocks look so different! Below are Bonnie's. Now if I put them side by side, you will see what I mean too. I tend toward some pretty loud scraps! :-o Yikes! I didn't even realize that until I got Bonnie's. LOL I'm sure that when we combine them, they will be beautiful. :-)) I love Bonnie's blocks~ lots of my favorite colors~ autumns!! :-))

And look what is waiting for me~~ more Triangulations HST's to sew! ;-) Maybe I can sneak in a little sewing time this weekend~ hope so!

Have a great Friday and happy weekend!

Until next time~

Happy Stitchin'!! :-)

How About a 'Cool' Giveaway?

Thanks for your comments on keeping cool. :-) I am enjoying this 'not cooking' part! :-)) It is fairly nice this morning, so the house is open and we are trying to capture some cool. ;-)

Speaking of cool~ how about a cool giveaway? Rachel at PS I Quilt is giving away a $50 gift certificate to the Fat Quarter Shop~ how cool is that?! Hop on over!

Have a happy day!

Too Hot to Sew?

I never thought that would be possible here in the Pacific NW, but it is!! :-o Especially if you don't have A/C. :-/ And now, when my mojo is back is not the time to be slacking off! :-( But ya gotta do what ya gotta do, right? So to appease myself a little bit, I sewed up a bunch of HST's this morning when it was a mite cooler, and then sat in front of the fan ~LOL :-)) ~and took the papers off this afternoon. ;-) I may repeat this process a few more times this week! LOL :-) ..And hope that this heat wave doesn't last too long. ;-)

Have a great evening and until next time~

Keep stitchin'!! :-)

~~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'!! ;-)
