Signature Block Swap July 14, 2009

   I have been seeing this button all over the place and finally went and had a look.  It took me to Cornbread and Beans Quilting.  Melissa has set up a wonderful block swap.  I can’t wait to do this!  And it gives me a chance to use some Civil War prints, which I hardly ever do.  The amount of blocks you will need to make will (of course) depend on the number of people who sign up but it looks like a lot so far.

  You can also check out Melissa’s sewing room which just made me green with envy.  One day, one day….

Mission Accomplished July 13, 2009

Okay, not really, but I did try.  Between the kids, the husband, and premier night on HBO, I just didn’t get that much done on Sunday.  And I felt like heck all morning.  I did get all of my blocks arranged and partially sewn and I’m saying a not so silent prayer that the cats don’t knock the whole lot off onto the floor.  I really don’t want to have to figure out how to arrange them again.  Once more, this is Moda’s Figgy Pudding line which I am in love with.  Something about blue and red gets my quilting motor running.  I’m still deciding on the color of the sashing tho.  My heart says blue but my head says red will be more timeless.  And who wants to sew a new quilt every Christmas?  Oh, wait.  I want to.  But I’d rather like to keep on displaying the old ones.  Anyway, these are the first four blocks.
