Finally Caught Up!

Hello Everyone,

Well I have been hard at work. I have caught up on my Mystery quilt blocks, Noah's Ark Stitcheries, and have joined Nice People Nice Things. I have also been busy catching up on customer quilts and uploading them to my website. 

Anyway, let the pics begin. This first one is of the strippy block I had to make for the mystery quilt. Well, not just one block about 20!

This next one is the block that was formed out of those cat faces. You were right, it is a star! Glad Creations is calling it the Weathervane Block. I really like it. But again, I didn't make just 1 it was about 18.

Now I have actually progressed to a layout. Here is a peek at what this baby will look like. Right now they are just laying there unsewn, hopefully one of my cats will not come by and swoop them out of position before I get to them.

Moving right along....now I am caught up on Lynette Anderson's Noah's Ark BOM. Here are my Giraffes.

Here is my Rainbow... I am looking forward to the next one which is due out tomorrow!

Look at the next picture... Colleen at Crazy for Primitive Quilts and Gardens was selling this wonderful fabric bundle of fat quarters and I purchased it from her!! Woo hoo!! I love them and can't wait to use them.

In fact, I just receive the NPNT pattern and I will be using them in this quilt. I saw the fabrics from Colleen and couldn't resist joining this group. She gave me the idea to use them in this. Originally, she wanted to use them for the quilt, but she doesn't use brights.  So since I don't have a problem with brights, you'll be seeing this quilt in a bright and happy colorway!

So anyway folks, that's where I am at right now. I now have to write my monthly newsletter up and send it off.  I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Happy Quilting!

Finally Caught Up!

Snowballs....I think! And Thanks Vicki!

Hello Everyone,

I am making progress on my mystery quilt. I am desperately trying to catch on my clues. But to my detriment, I am very obsessive about the perfection of my quilting skills. Translates to "boy it can really slow you down." 

Anyhoo... Here is the progress I have made. I had to make 1/2 snowball units, not sure why, just had to do it. Here is what they look like...

Now I am in the process of making these strippy units. Again, I am not sure why, just doing what I am told to do with hopes of it being spectacular in the end. Anyhoo, here is what they look like....

So, I am plugging along with great hopes to finish this sometime in the near future. 

I also received a package from Vicki. I won a contest on her blog. She sent me a bunch of fun stuff. Thanks so much Vicki!!  Here take a peek at what was in the package.

Once again, I have been busy, check out the new customer quilts here. Hopefully, I will be back soon with another mystery update!!

Until then, happy quilting!

From Dog's Ears to Cat's Faces

Hello Quilting Friends,

I have made some progress on my mystery quilt!! After making all those half square triangles, and cutting off all those dog ears, I then created cat faces. Yes, don't believe me take a look....

See what I mean. Don't they look like cat faces?? I don't know what I am doing with them yet because I am still not caught up yet on my clues. But I can tell you that I am working hard to catch up. A girl can only do so much. But I do dream about being caught up.

Also, just thought I would let you know that Brenda at Little Acorns is having a 20% off sale. So be sure to stop by and browse some.

Check out these new customer pictures I added here. I have some more coming in the next post and lots of goodies to post next time too!!

Until next time, happy quilting,

From Dog's Ears to Cat's Faces

The Mystery of Half Square Triangles

Hi Everyone,

Okay, so I am finally working on my mystery quilt from back in June! Remember, when I had all of you guess which fabric I chose. Remember now? 

Well, anyway I have gotten all the fabric cut, which was clue #1 and now I am on clue # 2. Yes, I am behind, but that's what I get for going away on vacation. Clue # 2 is full of half square triangles. Here are some pictures.

I am very obsessive about those little dog ears and just have to cut them all off to square up each tiny little block. You can see all those tiny little snibbles there in the picture. That could be why it is taking me so long to get through this clue. But hopefully all my points will match in the end. I hope there isn't any quilt police out there. 

I have also posted some new pictures today of customer quilts here. And don't forget to check out my new pattern page here. 

Check back for another quick post later this week for more mysterious, I mean mystery quilt progress!

Happy Quilting!
