Blockage—

August 25th, 2010

ok. that might not be the best title of all time….but I knew it would catch your eye;)

anywhosies—- I am behind {like that's a surprise} in posting some blocks that I have been working on. Thought I'd share a few.

Stash Busting Bee:

I love making improvised quilt blocks. Sort of the whole idea around the 'Cranky Quilt'. {Which, never fear there are plans for a few newbies along this line} ok. I am lost and diverted…let me return.

Yes, I love making these types of blocks.

I also have my blocks done for the Siggy Swap for the Patchwork Posse.com group. We are using this tutorial– Butterfly Block. Totally excited to get the package back– have to wait. hmph.

Also with the group we just started another Block of the Month— the Memory Tree by Kindred Spirits. Here is the progress so far:

Last week for Main Street quilters I made a few quilt blocks for donation and I got to choose something out of the prize basket— I grabbed the wool center!! Can you believe? I love it when others pass on their unfinished projects don't you?

this is the back. I used a bird panel– love them!

I am also working on 2 more Christmas Block Swaps……I know you totally think I'm nutzoid…but wait, listen before judgement. I am going to end up with 4 Christmas Random Swap Quilt Tops. {that didn't help did it?} …….. well, I have 4 kids. {I know, I look like I'm too young for that – everyone always asks me if I am babysitting LOL} wow. Lot's of diversions today.

Each of the kids will get a quilt for Christmas this year!!!! It was suggested to give them at the beginning of December so they could use them all month. Fun right? I am loving the idea and so— 2 Christmas Quilt Blocks swap.

There are of course a few more blocks that I am working on— one from a local group– but I am bringing that one up to a retreat in October {I totally have to save projects or I will have nothing and will work on others stuff}.

I also found a bunch of these and have a few pairs that I am selling– great for pincushions!! They are 3" X 3" X 2" tall.
