I Got my Mojo Back

I'm feeling inspired again and had some fun.

Yesterday I finished the first block in Pat Sloan's SAL...It is suppose to start soon but I couldn't wait.

Here is my block.

Here is the book.

I love just about anything Pat Sloan.

Here is a picture of the quilt.

This is the second version.  The first is in Batiks.  As you can see mine is going to be a little different.  The checker board in my quilt is going to be different blues and neutrals.


Next I saw Lori at Humble Quilts hosted another Quilt-a-Long.  Another antique mini quilt she calls "Harmony".  I couldn't resist.  Just finished the top this morning.

I made a few tiny changes and trimmed it down to 14" so when finished it will fit on my standing quilt stand.  Thank you Lori for yet another wonderful Quilt-a-Long.


The last thing I have to show you I've already shown you...LOL  But I need to post it again so I can link up with the "Simply Charming" Quilt-a-Long.  My March/April quilt.  I chose "Teresa's Treasures".  I already have the next quilt I want to make picked out.  I am doing the quilts as they are shown in the book.

Well that is it for now.  I stayed up late trying to watch the Tigers play the Oakland A's and fell asleep in the 11 inning.  They lost in the 12th.  Boo Hoo.

 So now I am going to sandwich my Harmony quilt and get some hand quilting done.  And BTW...it snowed again today.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Hugs, Cathy

2 More Finishes

I have 2 more finishes...

The first is my Windmill Quilt.  I hand quilted it with #12 Perle Cotton.  I really like how it glides through the fabric.

The second finish is my March/April quilt for the Simply Charming SAL.  It is called Teresa's Treasures.  I used some charm squares I had left over from another project and machine quilted it.  Sorry the photo looks a little fuzzy.


My list of projects for March Update.

1.  Joined at the Hip BOM (They still haven't posted this month's pattern.)

2.  Sentimental Stitches March Applique BOM and Pieced BOM.  (I receive these patterns on the 14th.) 
   
3.  Monday Mystery.  March 4,11,18,25

4.  Patchwork Posse Row Robin (I have my row finished but need to do some embroidery before I show it to you.)  March 11, 25

5.  10 Log Cabin Bow Ties.

6.  Small Quilt Talk quilt. (It is made and I am almost done hand quilting it.)

7.  Simply Charming Quilt for March/April.

8.  March UFO / Hexagon Quilt.  The top is finished and machine quilted.  I the fabric for the binding yesterday and hope to finish it today.
   
9.  March UFO / Primitive Primer.

11.  Blue Table Runner.  (It is quilted and the binding just needs to be sewn down.)

If I'm lucky I might just get most of this list done....well, maybe.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have a great day.

Hugs, Cathy

First Finish for February

My first finish for February is my Abundance Quilt.

Again, a big thanks to Lori at Humble Quilts of another wonderful quilt-a-long.


I also got my blocks done for the Country Threads Sampler Quilt BOM.

Each month you make 2 blocks.  A 12" and 6" block.


Temecula Quilt Co. posted the next row of blocks on Friday.

Again I am using the fabric scraps I received from Homestead Hearth.  The strips of fabric that I have between the rows are from I jelly roll I got from Connecting threads.  I really like the way this is looking.

I'm not sure if I told you...I am participating in a Quilt-a-Long with Kathie @ Kindred Quilts and Sandy @ Loves to Quilt.  Each month we are making a small quilt from "Simply Charming" by Tara Lynn Darr. 

This is my February quilt, "Grannies Scrap Box".  It took 2 days to cut it out and one day to sew it together.  Now I need to sandwich it, quilt it and bind it before the end of the month.  There are some really sweet quilts in this book.

Today is Superbowl Sunday for my hubby.  For me it is Supersew Sunday...lol.
I plan on making some Log Cabin Bow Tie blocks today.  

The sun is shining here in Michigan, although it is really cold out and snow on the ground.  So keep warm, enjoy the game, get some sewing done and come back and visit again.

Hugs, Cathy
