I got a few projects done.
First up is a couple of Sally Post blocks. Blocks 19 and 20.
A little late but here is my Sprouts block for Barbara Brackman's Hospital Sketches.
I love this block. Now to prep the next block.
Here is the next block for Pat Sloan's "Flower Bouquet" Block of the Week.
Only a few more weeks to go and this will be a quilt.
I participated in Lori at Humble Quilts Doll Quilt Swap.
Here is the quilt I sent.
I liked it so much I think I need to make myself one.
Here is the quilt I received from Lora Congdon.
It looks a little wonky in the photo. I love the Repro fabrics she used.
She also sent me this little Easter Chick. It is so sweet. She also sent me a quilters best friend....Chocolate.
The quilt in my header is a quilt I made during a class with Gwen Marston. I learned so much from her in that class. I loved that she gave you permission to enjoy quilting.
Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to check back at the end of the month for the next Dearest Boy block.

My granddaughter Cassidy was in a baseball tournament this weekend. Instead of driving back and forth at an early morning hour we all decided to camp for the weekend. We stayed at Proud Lake State Campground.
This is the view we had from our campsite. It was so relaxing. Every so often a swan would appear on the lake. There were so many different birds and wild life. We had a Sandhill Crane fly overhead. And were visited nightly by Raccoons.
The raccoons hit the first night....opening a cooler and eating 2 packs of hot dogs and got in our garbage. The second night my daughter forgot to put the marshmallows up. One marshmallow had a bite in it. They must not have liked them because they took the rest of the marshmallows and threw them all around the picnic table.
We spent the majority of the days watching Cassidy play baseball. They won there first game on Sunday and went on to a second elimination game. They lost in the last inning so they were done for the day.
Kelley and her family had to leave after the game but we decided to stay an extra night. It was so peaceful...we had the park to our selves.
We started our campfire early on Sunday as it was getting pretty cold. Sammie was glad we brought her coat and her pillow.
Luckily we had enough fire wood to keep it going till nightfall.
Since we were gone for 3 days and very busy I didn't get to work on the applique that I brought with me. I do have some things to share with you.
This is the Scrap Basket Sew Along designed and shared by Cheri Payne with her group on Facebook. It was suppose to be wool applique (which I'm not good at...LOL) but I did mine needle turn applique. Now it goes on the to be quilted pile.
I joined in on the fun Doll Quilt Swap hosted by Lori at Humble Quilts. This is the wonderful Doll Quilt that I got from Roxanne.
They are the most perfect Lemoyne Stars. I love it.
Well I need to get moving and start sewing...I'm behind on everything.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day.

I finished my doll quilt for the Doll Quilt Swap hosted by Lori at Humble Quilts.
The quilt is 16" x 24" and was fashioned after an antique doll quilt I saw on pinterest. It was so much fun making and hand quilting.
I also made my recipient a sewing bag and pin cushion.
I hope she likes it. It went into the mail today and should arrive at its destination on Saturday
Now for the win. Last week I was visiting one of my favorite blogs "Geoff's Mom" and she was having a giveaway. I won a pattern on my choice.
This is the pattern I chose. It came on Tuesday and yesterday Hubby and I went for a ride and ended up at my favorite quilt shop "Linda's Country Quilts". I needed some shirting's for the background and some Cheddar. They are in the wash right now. I forgot to take a picture.
So for 2 days I haven't gotten much done. Hoping to make up for it today. The weather here is fantastic. Suppose to get up to 60 degrees out. So the windows are open so I can listen to the birds as I sew.
Thanks for stopping by.
Hugs, Cathy
So little time....
I just finished testing a pattern for a designer. Will share as soon as I can. That took up three days.
I made the quilt top for the Doll Quilt Swap I signed up for at Humble Quilts. I wish I could show you but I can't till it's done and on it's way.
I'm working on the border for a quilt I started early last year. It's an appliqued vine. So nothing to show you there.
But I do have one block to show you. It is a block from Cheri Payne's Common Threads Series.
There are 4 blocks in each pattern. She just came out with 2 more patterns in the series with 4 blocks each. Of course I ordered them. I still have to make the other 3 blocks from this pattern. It should make a very nice quilt.
Well that is it for today. Our snow is finally gone. It is suppose to rain most of the day so I guess I might get some more sewing done. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.
Hugs, Cathy
Is Done!!!!
The last things on my list were 10 Jacobs Ladder Blocks....
Next month I need to make 8 more blocks and I will have enough blocks for a quilt.
