More to Show & Tell

I did a few more things over the weekend.

I got to sew on more than my BOM Rehab blocks...

I got to finish my 22 inch Dresden blocks. All 13!
Now I just need to decide on what background fabric to put them on.

I am caught up on Pam Buda's block of the week.
These little 6" ers are so sweet!
Especially after the 22in. blocks!

I got out another BOM that is long overdue to be finished.
I have 7 blocks done. 7 down and only 5 more to go.
This is next for Rehab! I think this was the 2010 Designer Mystery from
Fat Quarter Shop. Bless them! I know they don't mean to exploit my weakness.



On Saturday the hubs and I had "our" first little outing since he has been home from
the hospital  Club VA International Resort and Spa!
We drove to one of our sons' home and got to meet his girlfriends' parents.
(OK, I am confused here... where do those apostrophes go)?
Anyway.
They were visiting from Oregon.
It was a very nice day.
However...

I woke up during the night thinking that I talk way way too much!
Has that ever happened to you?
Iye yie yie!

Were You in Rehab This Weekend?

I was!
I got lots of sewing time in at
BOM Rehab!

There were lots of others there too...

These were done by Debbie at Ti's the Season!

She is continuing her holiday obsession and made blocks for two different 

BOM's. 

This is from Michele at Island Life Quilts...

She has a BOM from her LQS that had been long forgotten and needs a little fixing

before she can put it together!

Darlene from Quilting Daze made her next block in the FQS Mystery for 2011. 

Last week she got ahead of me... but I caught up to her this week!

This is a sweet block! Sherry at Blessings from Our Nest blog is making the

 Aurifil Designer block of the month project. I believe that this is a current project and

it doesn't look like Sherry is behind at all!

It looks like Cheryl at Polka Dots and Ric Rack is

on her 6th DMQ from FQS also

This is a really cute "tulip" flower block.

It looks like she has been doing some Schnibble sewing 

this week also... not to mention the other projects she has been working on!

Lots of eye candy over there!

Oh gosh... Nichole from Sister's Choice is getting close!
These are her setting blocks for her long lost Simply Sophisticated
BOM!

I was able to conquer two of my blocks for the DMQ from FQS. 

Thank goodness the bottom one was a much easier block...

the other one there had so many darn little pieces to it!!! I kept talking

to the designer of that block (in my head) saying "really?"

But when it was all finished... I thought it was a really cute poesy block.

I  think it might even be my favorite so far!

Did you work on any Block of the Month projects last week?

What To Do!

I filled up a "punch card" at the LQS when I purchased one of these patterns below...
so I asked them to order the Lori Holt patterns for me....
it was such a nice treat!
I have some new patterns that were free and fabric to go with them as well!
Last week or so ago, FQS had 50 percent off of their RB fabrics...
so I scooped up on some!
It was a bargan but do you know how some places sell everything by the half yard?
Well, my confusion and haste while ordering got me twice as much as I needed.
But seriously, you can't have too much fabric can you?
But I might have too many choices!


I saw this Cake Stand pattern made up recently somewhere
and they substituted a domed cake stand in each of the rows...
there were cupcakes under the dome. I just might have to add that
twist to mine! I think it was just an embroidered dome.
I think that these will be future projects .

Right now I am trying to be good and get these handles sewn on
these blocks so I can finish up this quilt! It has been on the back burner
for way too long.

Pam Buda of Heartspun Quilts is having a 6 week
6 block event called Busy Work.
These blocks are really cute!
This is how far I have gotten for block #2.

It is suppose to look like this one...
this is Pam's sample block

She just posted the third block today in case you are interested in some
Busy Work!

What I know I need to work on this weekend... is 

ah yes, a certain little Schnibbles pattern. I am
going to use the Vintage Modern  charms this month!
This is really sweet fabric... so I hope that it turns out cute.

Oh, I also want to thank you all for your comments on my last post.
#1 for thinking that Evie is as cute as I think she is!
and #2 for offering so much support and ideas for my obsession in finding
the fabric panels for Dolly Dresses.
I got a couple of good leads and was able to get what I needed.
Did I say needed? hahahaha!
Anyway, mission accomplished!
I got very lucky at Shabby Fabrics. They had a lot of Lakehouse fabrics, although they didn't
show any of the fabric panels on line. But with a quick phone call... and a little question, it
turned out that they had a couple of bolts of the panel but it just wasn't on line.
Have you been over to their site?
They have a free BOM available.
In case you needed something for BOM Rehab!

Have a great weekend!

I Am On A Mission

But I need help!

I am sure you have all seen this fabric before.

This is actually a photo of a quilt  have been searching high and low... all over the internet and calling

quilt shops that I think might have it. But no luck.

But it is what i am looking for.

I know, I know... of course I thought it was cute when it came out.

But I didn't have a little grand child then!

(photo by the Great American Quilt Co.)

But now I do... and I would love to make up a little quilt

with Dolly Dresses by Holly Holderman of Lakehouse.

Ok, I am not asking for you to go into your stash...

I can see where you would want to hold on to this sweet fabric,

but if you know of a store where I can find it let me know.

You can see why I need to make up a little something else 

for this little something don't you?

Her mom and I had a lot of fun taking these pictures for Easter.

Can you believe that Evie slept through the whole thing?
