Bee Block Finished

A little while back, I received this cute little scrap bundle from sew fresh fabrics ... my mission, to make a 12.5" square block & mail it back. Once they have all the blocks, they will be pieced & quilted & sent away to this charity. The finished quilt will be given to a person suffering from ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease).

I wanted to get started on my block right away, but instead, I popped over to the flickr group showcasing the finished blocks from other participants. I immediately felt intimidated! Finally, I started cutting & sewing & ironing yesterday. After some worry that I was ruining all the scraps given to me, I kept going and.... I kind of like the finished product. That 'sleeping beauty' was an obvious choice for some fussy cutting & everything happened from there. Not the way i usually do things, but hey, it was only one block & I figured I couldn't mess up that badly. And I didn't...yay!

Happy Mail!

 

Kona colour card...oh how I have pined for you!

 I entered a giveaway that was sponsored by Sew Fresh Fabrics & I won! Woot! After a long stay within the postal system, my package has arrived. A colour card & some Dewberry prints I can't get enough of. Awesomesauce! Now the fun begins...matching up all the fabrics I have with Kona solids! I have a feeling that more solids will be popping up in my quilts...






I can't wait til my grass actually is that colour!




Some more Modern Meadow... part of my giveaway win! (Artichoke & Deep Rose in Kona colours!)



Also had this Spring Street fabric come in today....it was a great mail day!



 Spring Street fabric was purchased from Uberstitch on Etsy...the last prints I was waiting for to start a quilt with my 9 year old niece. I'm helping her make her first quilt ever for her new sibling. She's fresh out of an ultrasound trip and will be ready to get started I think! :)



Mug Rug

Trying out the latest craze, mug rugs. A little placemat for your drink & a snack. I could have added a cream egg to the photo, if I hadn't eaten it while I made the mug rug. You get the idea anyway....

I made up two of these & a regular sized coaster in a new method for me, 'quilt as you go'. It's a quick way of using up little strips like this, I will do more!

A tiny peek at how this project is coming along...I'm surprised at how quickly things are materializing now that I finally figured out what type of pattern to use!
I'll keep ya posted ;)

You will see more creations from this line as I have been hoarding it to make a quilt for myself!

Washed this one up today! It's a small one... 27" x 40" - a great size for carrying around on the go!                                                                       



The back...tried out a zig zag...I like it!



Couldn't resist...

It's such a nice day out (above freezing ~yay!) that I had to take a couple few more photos of this quilt.
