granny squares
Have you caught the Granny Square bug yet?
When Jolene first posted about her Granny Square quilt, I oohed and awed with the rest of blogland. But when Dana posted that she was going to do a Granny Square Quilt Along, I knew this was one quilt along I was signing up for.
And than I realized, I have a Granny Square quilt.
This was either the third or fourth quilt I ever made. Don't you love the rounded corners?
For this version, I picked some fun fabric.
I can't wait to see how it looks with a darker background.
I'm looking forward to this time around. The Quilt Along is kicking off March 1st; still time to get your fabrics and join us. Details are on Old Red Barn's Flikr. Join us!

This is a very special quilt for a very special friend. I met Shelley in our church. Recently she has been diagnosed with cancer for a second time. Once she started chemo, she is always, always cold and I knew I needed to make her a quilt.
Made from an older Blackbird Designs jelly roll; the colors are so soft and relaxing.
I backed it with some snuggly minkee fabric.

A simple rail fence quilt that means so much.
snack saturday
Bread Dough(use your favorite recipe. I do mine through my breadmaker)
pizza sauce
cheddar cheese
mozzarella cheese
Italian seasoning(garlic, basil, oregano)
whatever ever pizza toppings you want
olive oil
Once your dough is made, dust countertop with flour and roll dough out into a rectangular shape roughly 1/2inch thick.
Spoon on pizza sauce and seasonings.
Sprinkle with cheeses and other toppings.
Roll the dough jelly-roll style; careful, some toppings may try to escape :)
Refrigerate for 20 minutes; makes the dough easier to cut without mashing it.
Slice into 1 1/2 inch slices.
Place slices on a parchment lined backing sheet. Make sure to leave some room between slices.
Brush tops with olive oil and sprinkle with some more cheese(we like parmesean)
Cover and let rise(about 25 minutes)
Bake at 375 until cheese is bubbly; about 20-25minutes.
*achoo*
Today I had planned on a sewing day with some girlfriends but yesterday I started feeling 'coldish' so I cancelled. Good thing since I woke up today with a wicked sore throat and a runny nose. Lovely. So a sewing day at home it is!
I had originally planned on finally finishing up my last Swoon block,
But I didn't feel like attempting putting the block together while not feeling 100% so I figured it was time to finally get my Valentine's Day quilt finished.
I'm pretty excited with how this is turning out. I hope to get the top finished up today and possibly get it quilted before the end of the month. Good thing it's a leap year eh? lol
And if I get that finished, I can finally get started on this little quilt. This line is just so adorable!
Now it's time for another mug of tea; happy sewing!
