Spring to Finish....

Spring to Finish Number Two in the works. Now I have six snowmen done. Next step, some type of sashing!! Also, thank you for all your kind comments, but I can only take credit for the patchwork. I bought the snowmen on eBay last Holiday season, with the intention of making a wall hanging.

I am on the way!
Happy sewing!!

I Love Rick Rack......

How about you?

Oh I did it!!!!!!

Oh yes I did! I joined another swap. Well, actually I am being sponsored by Lurline to be able to play in Christine's 9 Patch swap. It was for Australian swappers only, unless you got a sponsor. Dear kind Lurline asked if I would like to play and of course "I JUMPED" at the offer; how so very kind of her!!

Each month from now until November, I will be making 12 --9 patch squares in Reproduction fabrics. We are to send Christine a picture each month of our squares. Then in November send all 72 squares to her, where she will mix and sort and send 72 back!
I am very excited to play!
Thank You Lurline!
Thank you Christine!

Quilting Bee....

I joined a quilting bee, I have wanted to do this for some time and this one sounded perfect!
It is called “Around the World” Quilting Bee.
You start by making a block any size, any color, and any pattern. This is called your starter block. Here is a picture of mine. It is a 12 X 12 inch block.

There are 24 people in the bee, so my starter block will be sent to someone who will make a block to go with mine; they will send it to the next person who will also make a block. You can choose to have them sewn together for a 6 X 4-quilt top, or to receive 24 blocks. I have chosen to receive 24 blocks, in case I want to add sashing. It is a fast moving bee; one block a week. I am so excited, we even have international players. I cannot wait to post the blocks as I receive them! Happy Sewing!!

Happy Mother's Day
