Friday Night Sew In

Well the night started off really well. I finished my blocks for the Fresh Comfort II Bee. They turned out great now to get to the post office and mail them to Margaret. Next I wanted to make the block of the month from the Quilt Ladies.

Done. I'm on a roll. The next thing on the list is the Amy's passion Blocks of the month. I tried making these once before but I really didn't like the fabrics. I got new fabric and here are the new blocks.

I think they look great. Ok what is next. Distant pickle just added the next step in her quilt along. So I will do the next step.

They were just 9 patches and now they are disappearing 9 patches. So now it is 2am and I am really tired. I tried to finish my Cheddar and crackers quilt but I realized I didn't have one of the fabrics I needed. I decided to sit and finish the binding on my daughters quilt.

I got really tired and couldn't finish. So I went to bed.

What a great Friday Night Sew In.

Pictures of My projects

I think I may have figured out how to get more than one picture into my blog. Yeah

Sewing for a Baby

I had so much fun making these snugglers. It is such an easy pattern.

I blew it up on the photcopier at work. My baby is turning 10 soon and so I had fun shopping for baby fabrics.

This is for the bookkeeper at my office. She had a really bad infection last year and was on antibiotics for a really long time and surprise her birth control pills didn't work. She is having a boy and is due any day now.

I have been working on the Amy's passion Block of the month (started dec 29, 2009)and I really hate the color combination in the block. I really like the pink with the cute flowers but not the other fabric. I think I am thinking winter and dark. I am going to look for a pale green and a yellowy brown maybe. Or maybe I should think pale pink and a darker pink.

Hazel Ilene Quilt along

Well here is a picture of the fabrics I'm using.

I really like the flower fabric. I just saw that I get to cut a square of it today. I have to decide if I am going to fussy cut the square or not.

The other thing I'm working on is the block of the month. I just made up the 3" block version.

Other than that life is wild, kids are back in school, and I'm supposed to be working. I look like I'm working but I am still on a sugar high from the holidays.

Lots of Quilts, lots of projects

Well I hope everyone is having a great new year. I have been working on many projects. I just thought I would show fabrics and some works in progress.

Here is the list of things I am working on or thinking about working on:

Carolina Christmas- I found this mystery quilt online after all the clues were out. I really liked it but didn't want it quite so large. I shunk it to a lap quilt size and used a moda jelly roll I got for Christmas with some other fabrics mixed in. Here is the top so far.

No Sew Block swap - I thought this was a great idea. I joined both groups. I really enjoyed going through quilter's cache to find a 12" block. I can't believe how many quilt patterns are in quilter's cache.

Hazel Ilene Quilt Along - I came across this and thought it would be fun. I had a couple fabrics and purchased the two that I needed. I have done all the cutting so far.

Distant Pickle is having a fun quilt along. A simple 9 patch design called "disappearing 9 patch" I had a bunch of fun fabrics and have cut all these squares. I just read today that we are to sew the 9 patches. That will be tonights project.

The Quilt Ladies has a block of the month project she has a 3", 6" and 12" block for each month. I have chosen scraps for the 3" blocks and am searching for fabrics for the other sizes. This may just be a fun way to learn new blocks each month. I completed the 3" block. It was fun working that small.

Cheddar cheese doll quilt - this is a quilt along. The pattern looks really interesting. I have not sewn this one yet. I want to get a better fabric for the Cheddar cheese :).

Quilted Hen has a Raid the Stash block of the week project. I would really like to do this but I just don't like any of the fabric combinations I have chosen for this project yet.

Amy's Passion has a 3 blocks a month project. In the end we will have 12 blocks and it quilted and bound by Christmas 2010 (If we keep to the schedule). This sounds promising. I have pulled fabrics and just need one more to make the project complete.
