Snowy Days Final 2 Blocks 8 and 9

It is done, well at least the blocks are done for the NQC  this link will give info on all the blocks I will now begin to think about the final size I need for this quilt and if more blocks are needed or if sashing and borders will make it grow enough. I definitely had fun with these blocks.

Easy Project Day

Easy project day and a bit of cleanup to get threads off the floor. The vacuum did a great job and the magnetic strip I put on it got the pins before they could get sucked up. The project was to continue the making of quilt tops for Lutheran World Relief for our women's group at church. (Calvary Lutheran, Richland Hills, Texas). Finished two tops today.

Darker colors pulled randomly from a bag. Not having to be mindful of a pattern is OK and just using stash.

Lots of pinks in the materials. Fun to just pull and not have to worry about what goes where. More stash gone to a good cause.

Snowy Day Blocks 6 and 7


The weeks are flying by on this Snowy Day Blocks challenge and I like them a lot. I was not sure I would enjoy the large blocks 16" finished but they have been a nice change from the small pieces of say the Bonnie Hunter mystery that I am still working on. (can't seem to get it done but getting close). The Snowy Day blocks are also working with some fabric I adore so makes it more fun to look at. The link here will give you all the info on this challenge.Link to the Snowy Day Sampler original post

Bunny Runner

Easter is around the corner and a new table runner was in the mind. I have the pattern and made a small one for a friend a few years back. It is a fun happy bunny jumping out of the flower pot.  Digging into my stash came up with some great fabrics so it was just hop in and get it it done. Finished!
