I finished block 1 last week and just haven't taken the time to trim the block down and add the 2.5inch squares. I really love how it turned out. I'm still debating about filling in some of the scarf and the ear muff. Will keep pondering it.

we care
We Care is operated through one of our local quilt quilds. The quilts are baby/lap size quilts and get donated to various charities/organizations(the hospice, transition housing, community services)
Tina brought in these two for me to do.
This first one was made from leftover quilt blocks; perfect idea for a we care quilt.
quilted with Cotton.
And a quick charm square quilt.
quilted with Crazy Puzzle.

quilt monday
Can someone tell me how it's already Monday(night)? I don't know where the weekend went, it just flew by! And before I knew it, I was racing off to work, than after-school activities, grocery shopping and play dates *whew*!
I bought this jelly roll( Remembrance by Brannock & Patek for Moda) on a whim. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it but I loved the prints and colors.
I took a quick look at the Moda Bake Shop and found this pattern; the Awesome lap quilt.
quilted with Folk Heart.
I love it! I love the fabrics, the pattern, the pieced binding! Now to finish off the binding so I can really enjoy it!

birdie stitchery day
Yesterday we gathered at Kim's to stitch block #1 of Little Miss Shabby's Birdie Stitchery.
As always, fantastic food.
I probably should have taken a picture BEFORE we started eating lol.
We all got a great start on our blocks. Kim even finished her's.
Kim's is the redwork block; Kim assembled her quilt already so she can embroider through her batting.
Cindy's block is in the left corner. She's using Nest by Moda. Andrea is using Bliss by Moda and her block is in the top left. Mine is the one with the wooden frame. I ended up forgetting two of my floss colors so I couldn't continue with my block. Jill's block is on the far right. Jill is still waiting for her jelly roll to arrive. I decided to do all my embroidery without adding my squares to my blocks.
After we came home, I ran out to the wool shop and picked up a few more flosses that blend better with my jelly roll.
Now I can get this finished. Bring on block 2!!
