The Quilt Around the World Bee Blocks

I was able to get two blocks made for”The Quilt Around the World Bee”. Sorry I cannot tell you who they were for, it would ruin the surprise. I can tell you they were a lot of fun to make!!

Texas Here We Come.....

We are going on a little weekend trip. We are going to our nephews Wedding in the great state of Texas. Doesn’t this look like a quilt block?

NOW…
Here is the CRAZY part.
I put my stores on vacation and I
AM NOT
Taking my laptop.

I know!! If I bring it with, I will work, so it is staying home. Have a wonderful weekend and will see you all on Tuesday!!

Thank You Lurline!!

Thank You Lurline!!

If you have never been to Lurline’s blog, you are in for a feast for your eyes. I was reading one of her posts a week ago and saw some just darling fabric pictured; never in a million years did I expect it to show up in my mailbox!!! This is the cutest fabric ever and I am so lucky to have Lurline in my life. She is such a kind, caring and so creative woman. Thank you dear friend for this wonderful gift. Please go and visit, you will be so glad you did!!

Just a few things.......

Just a few things to show you…
Two new fun books,

Pretty Little Patchwork.
There are some really fun projects in here….


Pretty little Potholders.
Also cute ideas…


A new mug, I love mugs or in our house called a “coffee cup” such as “Would you please get me a cup of coffee?”

I was at our local quilt shop and look at what I bought! The woman at the store apologized because all she had was PINK!!!

Now this really works, but I would have gotten it even if it did not!!

A Christmas gift finished! I love a quilt fresh from the dryer, all warm and soft and cozy.





I am moving on to the next one.
Happy sewing!

LAST Rainbow Quilt Block Post....

We did it girls!!! All but one set of blocks have arrived. One of our girls in group three is on a Military base in Japan, hers are on the way. So, if you are involved in group 3 yours will be sent out as soon as hers arrived. The poor thing made them again and re-sent them.
So….
Here we go…..
As I send out your blocks you will see your status change from received to sent on my side bar.
PLEASE, please, please, let me know when you receive them.
As they are received I am going to remove your name.
If you love one of the blogs or made friends with a new blogger or just want that blog, add it to your Google reader or become a follower. I would hate you to miss a chance at all the wonderful blogs these talented ladies have to offer.
The Flickr group will remain up and I hope you will post or send me the picture to post of what you have done with these marvelous blocks!!

I would like to get a little sappy for a moment;
This has been such a pleasure for me. I have gotten to meet new ladies, inspired a few to start a blog, made new friends and have enjoyed and loved every single minute of this swap. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your lives for theses last few weeks. I do not know if the world understands what blogging really means. People who are friends, not just a pen pals but REAL friends.
God Bless, Jane
