This and That

I have a few things to share..

First thanks for all the kind comments regarding my Twirling Fan block.  Sharon is really talented and makes it so easy to do.  

I have been asked to share my Dear Jane Blocks.  There is a story behind these blocks.  I started them years ago and placed them in a box for safe keeping...

...In moving up north to take care of Dad and then moving back home the blocks got lost.  Recently I was going through some boxes from the move and found them.  But not before I started over...

This time I was making the backgrounds different in each block while my original all had a white background.  I think I like the scrappy better.


I finished my February block for Quilt Doodles BOM.  My version is kind of boring but I plan on embellishing it later.

Later we are going to add snow flakes to the block.

So my "To Do" list for February is coming along good.

My Primitive Primer hasn't been touch yet.

I haven't worked on my 2013 Pieced Sampler yet

I have made 6 of the 10 blocks that I wanted to make this month for my Plaid Jacobs Ladder

BOMS:

Sugar Shack, Globetrotting, Country Threads and Quilt Doodles February blocks are done.

I have the patterns for the 3 February Hip Chicks block so I will be working on them soon.

And I finished the top for Lori's Midwinter Blues and now need to get it ready for quilting.

So for the 9 projects on my list I have 4 to go.  Not bad.

Week 2 Giveaway 2

But first I want to share a special project with you.  Last year I got to know Sharon at Fabrics and Flowers when I entered a giveaway on her blog.  I won! She is a very talented designer and publishes under the name Color Girl.  I made the quilt in the pattern and was so happy with it.  After chit chatting back and forth she asked if I would mind proof reading patterns once in a while.  I jumped at the chance.

She has just designed a fan quilt called "Twirling Fans" and I got to proof it.  Not only did I proof it I made one of the blocks.  I thought it would be soooo hard but with her directions I made the block in a day.  She said I could share my block with you.

I pulled all of the fabrics from my scrap bag.  I could not believe how quickly it came together.  So please stop on over to her blog and check out the pattern. Just click on the link above.  You won't be disappointed.


Congrats to the winners from last weeks Giveaway.

Now for the second Giveaway.  Monday is my 25th Wedding Anniversary. What better way to celebrate than to have a giveaway of a book by one of my favorite authors and designers.

I love her designs so much that I purchased the book twice.  lol
