Got It Covered!

Here is my mini Stems quilt for our next AYOS project!

I caved in and used my October Skies fabric that I had been

hoarding. I can't wait to have it quilted.

Now, I want to make a large Stems quilt.  

I think these can be addicting!

So, let me pick our winners for the AYOS Harvey Parade.

Carrie is giving two special surprise-prizes, 

one for each of our blogs...

and 

the first randomly chosen winner is:

Pam... at Stitching Between the Lines blog from my parade.

Judith is the winner from Sherri's parade!

I also have a charm pack and a Schnibbles pattern to give one person from each blog...

Linda and Jackie are the winners that will receive the charm pack/pattern combo.

Thank you all for taking on the Harvey project! It was a big quilt and I love

what you all did with the pattern. I love the mini versions and the conversions

that were made... you guys are so creative!

Congratulations to the winners!

as for me...

I had a very nice and relaxing weekend!

 It was the first one in a month or more!

 I got to stay in my pj's most of the day on Saturday...

and  even better... it rained!

I worked on miscellaneous projects that were laying around

in my sewing room and I even got out some binding that needed to be done.

I had the quilts quilted in the summer... but it was just too hot to even think

about binding them! 

I got caught up on my Bees Knees Quilting Group projects. 

I had two that have been needing my attention.

This one is for Shari...

her theme was a masculine Autumn Leaves block.

and this one is for Calli...

her theme was a free style, anything outdoors and camping

kind of feel, so I made up this...

Also, November is my month for our group so I cut out

and kitted up blocks for everyone in my group.

I even made two  of my own for my quilt to get a head start.

 It's a free pattern from Little Miss Shabby

promoting her Playful Petals book.

*which I love!

I had decided to join in with the Night Sky quilt along that

was starting up. So I grabbed my stack of 

American Jane fabrics and started to cut into them.

There are 7 rows that will be done in 7 weeks. 

It should be fun.

This morning I started sewing row #1.

I like the way they are turning out. I am keeping my fingers crossed though...

it is a busy/scrappy pattern and American Jane fabrics are the same... 

so we'll see how it turns out!

I even managed to make a Bunny Hill ornament along with a friend on

Thursday evening. They were a lot of fun to make!  

But, can you believe it.... I didn't play any Christmas music! 

That is just wrong.
