Some great Stuff in the mail

First I am finally up to date on my Diary of Hazel Ilene quilt along (well except for today) This block may have to be fixed see the upper right hand block but I was too tired last night. Okay here is one of the packages I got in the mail yesterday. Isn't this great. It came from Tia at "camp followers bags" I really love all the scraps i am thinking about a couple doll quilts. The camo bag has disappearred to my son but I know where it is... Besides the fabric she also included some needles, a spool of varigated thread, and a Dear Jane edge Block template. Thank You Tia I feel prepared for camp now.

And finally I am in a pincushion swap. I sent a pincushion to my partner in California and included some stuff from Maine. This is what I got from her. My pincushion is looking pretty plain compared to these but wow aren't they great. I think I love the jars with the pincushions on top the best but the lady bug pincushion runs a close second. I am going to try out the pincushion necklace tonight I hope I don't stab myself by mistake. :)

I hope everyone has a great weekend I will be doing the Friday Night Sew In. I hope to accomplish at least half of the things on my list. I will post an update with list after work.

Quilt Alongs (I think I may be doing too many)

So I have been really busy. I have been taking pictures but I have not been getting on the computer. Here is a look at what my Hazel's Diary Quilt looks like so far. I am enjoying feeling up to date on it. Sometimes I take a couple days and then do a couple days at one time.

I am working on a whole bunch of other quilt alongs. I can't figure out how to get pictures in two different places on this blog post so I will have to tell you about them and show you on a seperate post.

I have finished piecing all my 9 patches for the Distant pickle quilt along.

I was one of the lucky 100 to get into the siggy swap with Rachel. I have finished those blocks and they are waiting to get shipped out.

I am part of a block swap quilting bee Fresh Comfort II. Margaret has February and chose a teal and brown wonky log cabin. We were only supposed to make two squares but I'm an overachiever and had lots of great fabrics. She can chose her two favorites and maybe put one on the back.

I am also getting ready to sew for the Friday Night Sew a quiltathon of sewing. I have been getting every WIP cut out so that I can just sew sew sew Friday and hopefully most of Saturday. I hope I figure out how to post two pictures at once by then so I can show lots of pictures.
