DP16 progress....and a finish

Good Tuesday morning! You know what that means....






So here is my progress on my DP16 patches. I decided to go with this block.

I have 9 blocks, 2 each of all of them, except this red/blue.

I'll be ordering some solid white this week, to get these blocks in a quilt top.

~~~~~~~~

And now a finish.... This is my FQ bag.

  My Grandma is 88 yrs old. She and her Mother both quilted, crochet and knitted.

 My Grandma has headaches and dizzy spells, her eyes get tired easily....but she still can make her newest Great-Grand DD a quilt! I hope I am still quilting at age 88!!

So she emailed me a few days ago, and asked if I would make her another purse. She loved the one I gave her last year for her birthday, but needs one a bit bigger.

 

 

I hope Grandma likes her new purse!

Blog hops...

I love blog hops! They are so much fun. I get to see new blogs and 'meet' new people. I always comment, but never seem to win anything. LOL. That doesn't stop me though.

This week I've been having fun with this one...

Not only do you get to see some cute pillows, but you get to know some things about the designers for Moda.

Here's another one that is starting today at Sherri's blog. It's about this book

It looks like a great book!


And on Monday, Quiltstory will be announcing the winners of the Block Party!!

I've posted on the Q&N this week too :)

Have a great day all.

Some lovelies in the mail!

YAH! My first jelly roll came in the mail today!! Sunkissed, from Sweetwater. And it's sooo pretty!! See...

I have two different patterns I've designed, and I'm trying to figure out which one I want to make with this jelly roll. I just love the white color way.

 I got a half a yard of the white with gray swirl, and a half yard of the white with multi-swirl as well.

All the colors are lovely though...

I'm going to have a lot of fun creating with this jelly roll.

I've also finished my Summer star. Forgive the sun and shadows picture. My 12yr dd took the picture (notice the pretty manzanita blooms under the clothes pins in the corner?! ).

 Now I need to get some backing and batting and start doing some quilting!

Don't forget to head over to Quiltstory today, we are having the block party going on.

Have a great day!

Around the net

I hope that all of you that have lots of snow and ice, are warm and safe in your houses. With lots of snuggly quilts to be under. LOL.

For us, we are getting our annual pre-spring weather. A kind of lull in the winter months. Later this month, in March and sometimes April, we'll be back to rain, snow and a bit of freezing occasionally.

I wish I could send you all some of my warm sun... But I CAN leave you with a few warm pictures. These were taken last Summer. Daisy's are so sunny and cheerful :)

Well, what is happening around the net today...

Samm is getting ready for the mug rug contest, voting starts tomorrow.

Quiltstory is gearing up for the block party next week. Heather and Megan are doing their own blocks for US to judge.....My block is done!

Moda is doing a pillow talk blog hop, which is lots of fun!

Hmm, well, that's all I know about right now! I am having fun with all three of these things. I just love blog hops! You get to see lots of new fabric and patterns and learn about designers, both fabric and patterns.

What fun, quilty things are you doing around the net?

Have a great day!
