‘Tis the luck of the Irish…

That brought you to my blog today!
But
What did you say?
This post is about Christmas!!
Yes it sure is…
I received my Christmas Cottage quilt back from Millie. This is the first time I did not quilt a quilt by hand. I think Millie of Milie's Quilting did an amazing job. We decided to keep it simple and let the cottages shine through! Just look at her wonderful work.

Even the back is amazing!



Now all that is left is the binding. Hmmm, Elaine…When will you be home!! LOL!!
I just love it!!
What do you think?

Happy St. Paddy's Day to Everyone!

We all have a bit of the Irish in us!!

Giddy!!

Isn’t it funny how a sleeve from a pair of PJ’S can just leave you giddy!!

(Thanks Pam)

On to step two…….

String blocks in the morning and I spy blocks in the afternoon! I am now able to move on to step two and start to make rows of all my blocks.
This picture shows just some of the fun fabrics I have been working with; last count I have over 130 squares! That will make a wonderful size quilt.

I could not have done this without the help of so many you, so once again, Thank You, Thank You for all your help with my I Spy Quilt.

I just cannot stop!!

Really it is like a bag of chips, once you start you cannot stop.

What you ask?

String blocks!



I sent a pile of 20 to our bee Mama and will receive 20 different ones in return.



BUT.......

That is not enough for a quilt…….

I know, I know I told you I was going to make blocks with my new dot fabrics; however, I had these piles of scraps calling for me to make more string blocks.







What’s a girl to do?

So, sorry that is what I am doing this weekend. And I better get to work!





Happy Sewing Everyone!
