I would love to show you.....

BUT

I can't!!

It is raining and dark outside so I cannot take a picture.

I have finished Little M's quilt top, border and all!!

 I have decided to stitch a heart in the blank squares.

These are the threads I have auditioned.

First you will see white on the right side (a little of the making is showing through, that would wash out).

Then on the left you will see light pink, then dark pink.

I think I know which one I should use but...

What do you think?

Note to self!

No need to comment.

The Scrappy Appleyard

Here is the block I did.

I love working on my Winter Wonderland!!
This is the second block I finished.

It is a Wantobe day!

Head over to

Sew We Quilt.

 

Now do not laugh!!!

No laughing!!

Anyone and I mean anyone who know me, knows my love of pink.  As I was making the stars for my granddaughter's quilt, I started to accumulate pink scraps.

I have always wanted to have a lamp with a plain glass stem so I could add fabric scraps to the inside.

I have yet to find such a lamp

BUT

as my garbage can started to fill with yummy pink scraps,I found the next best thing to a lamp!

I had a beautiful glass container. It is now filled with happiness!!

This will be by my sewing machine as it just brings me joy!

Little M's quilt progress.

28 wonky stars finished.

28 pink dot squares cut and ready to go!

Next, rows!

It is so hard when your mind is young and your body is not!!! I worked on the stars all day Saturday and now I have such shoulder pain that I have to stop quilting for a week or so!!

This is soooo frustrating!!

I want to quilt.

But nooooooo, I have to use Icey Hot Patches and rest!!

Not a happy camper.

The good news, great TV tonight!!!

I cannot wait!!

BTW....

Did I ever show you my pink phone?

Yes, it works!!!

I entered a contest!

I have never entered a contest but when the weekly theme at

The Quilting Gallery was the

How could I resist!!
After all it is my favorite block!

Bringing It Home

Input Please...

I love block swaps. In the past years I have hosted some and they were so much fun and very successful.

I so want to host another!!

NOW...

Not until the new year.

When the Holidays are over and we can get down to some serious sewing!!

BUT...

I would love your input.

Ideas... When I have about 5 ideas, I will put up a poll and see what everyone thinks!

Keep in mind...

I would like to use modern fabrics. (to me this means new lines we love within the last year or two)

100% cotton, quilt shop quality.

How many blocks to exchange?

How many in a group?

Or one large group?

Themed such as Houses?

Tradition such as the nine patch with modern fabrics?

My ideas? I have a few but first I would like to hear from you!

What do you think??
