February Report Card

Too Short! That is what February was. I did finish a few things and make some progress on another. So here is the monthly report:

 First up:
-Scrappy Trip Around the world. The blogging craze that was started by Bonnie Hunter over at Quiltville.
Mine went to a great local chapter of Project Linus






Ackkkkkkk! I am adding this a day late: I finished a UFO from last year and I can't believe I didn't get it in my report! My Charlie Brown charity quilt was sandwiched and quilted. I have not give it away yet but it is in the stack to go. :)




Next, I signed up for the A Lovely Year of Finishes over at Fiber of all sorts  and
I finished my challenge to complete an item. 
This is the Birdbath quilt pattern by Elizabeth Hartman. I am giving this to my niece for
Relay for life auction coming up (stay tuned for a chance to bid in the silent auction). I have not shown this to her yet. :)

Along with that I made a tote - Denise Schmidt Hope Market tote free pattern online. Turned out okay but was very thick and with the canvas it was extra hard to get it to turn out with a good finish.

Project Quilting season 4 I made entry 3 and 4 (4 is being voted on yet this week)
 You can still vote Here

Caught up on my BOM groups:
My favorite quilt block along #3,4,5,6,7 and 8
Skill builder Bom #3 and 4 ready to quilt

 Made a cute block for a 5 year olds special birthday quilt
Treasure purse block paperpieced. 

Make it and wear it for Feb = Silky top (as soon as it is warmer)

I am working on a few other things and always coming up with new ideas for more projects. 

My next project for A Lovely Year of Finishes is...............................
to do something with my Craftsy BOM blocks from 2012. I have 20 blocks and think I want to challenge myself to putting together at least 10 of them in a charity quilt maybe. This is some of the blocks. I think I can do a mix of colors or seperate them into two color schemes. We will see ....the challenge is on for March!

Around the Block Party!

Image
"Around the Block" party finish this week. 40 "x 40" approx.  My last week was so productive that I only have a small finish so far this week.  My lqg got together one afternoon to make improv house blocks. It was so much fun that I made a whole block party of them.  I was trying out an idea for a color challenge using a paint chip that has 3 colors. This one had an amber orange color, a chocolate brown and an aqua. I sort of mixed in some gold too but it was fun trying out a color scheme like this and I think it would be fun guild project.  I love how they turned out and and it has started some talk about doing some outreach work for Habitat for Humanity homes. These would be great to do and each house adds a bit of whimsy.  Linking up with Let's bee social @  Sew Fresh Quilts and NTT @  My Quilt Infatuation and Amanda Jean @  Crazy Mom Quilts  and Show off Saturday with  Sew Can She

WIP - End of Summer

Image
The weather lately means it is the end of summer. I still think my new quilt block quilt is pretty sizzling hot!  I love this block and how it came together. So far I added the corner stones and surrounding half stones. I really don't think I want a border on this but will use the orange or yellow for binding maybe. Still deciding. No idea how I am going to quilt around those jagged blocks yet either. Any ideas?  I have the back pieced and should try to get to it yet this week. Linking up with WIP Wed. @ Freshly Pieced and Let's Bee Social @ Sew Fresh Quilts and Needle and Thread Thursdays @ My Quilt Infatuation and I am the Participant Highlight today for A Lovely Year of Finishes @ SewBitterSweetDesigns and Fiber of All Sorts   yippee...go check it out!
