Swoooooooned~


Remember this stack of goodies??




I have officially made the first cut into this yummy stack of perfection!
I would like to say that this came out how I planned it to, but that is not the case. My plans for this started to unfold and well.... I hated it.

By changing out a few colors and prints, this is what came about. I have to thank  my friend Nicci for the step by step walk through how this block should come out, she really was a lot of help in the deciding factor.

I pulled this out for our Modern Quilt Guild Sew-In  only because all my other projects were not portable in the stage they were in. I am glad I sat down and played with this because now, I have been utterly SWOONED!


HAPPY SEWING!

One to Many?

(New restock of some yummyness)

I must have been out of my creative head for a bit, because now I can't stop thinking of new things to make. I guess that is a good thing though. It's always refreshing to feel your creative mojo come back after a long break. This week has been amazing. I say that since it was guild week. These quilters definitely bring out the best in me and make me feel so overjoyed to have met them all.

If you have a Modern Quilting guild in your area, I would advise you to try it. It's my most favorite part of the month.

We showed off our habitat challenge progress!

Then I pulled another stack of goodness for a new quilt that is for my sisters daughter. She wants Turquoise and pink. I seem to be slim on those color choices so this is still a work in progress as I decide what fabrics will be perfect for her.


I have also been swooned! Yes I picked it up last night at our local Quilt shop Strawberry Patches! Can't wait to take a stab at these HUGE blocks!



And then a little more progress on the Highlighter Quilt. Paper piecing has really been the hardest part of this Quilt along challenge but I am glad that I took the plunge cause I really learned a lot. Not to mention I will have a spectacular quilt in the end.




This is what I have been up to. One to many projects going on all at once, but it seems that is how I function just to feel normal. How about you? What are you working on?

HAPPY SEWING!
