Sew Simple Quilt Shop BOM - January

My mom has been sending me blocks every month from her local Quilt Shops Block of The Month. I hadn't really looked at the quilt until last week when I bought the background fabric. It should be bright and colorful. So far it looks pretty. This is part of January's blocks. Tomorrow I am going to try and get a few more completed.

Memory Lane - March/April

I have been off this week so I have had some time to catch up on some projects and sew a little.... Here are the March and April blocks for Memory Lance. This one is called Ohio Star.

This one is called Girl's Favorite. I really like this block. This blanket is coming along nicely.

Finally Finished

I have finally finished this blanket. I just packed it up and have it ready to send to my mom to have quilted.

It is going to be so pretty - I'm excited.


This is the backing. The only think I am not completly sure about is the binding, but I have a few options. I will post more pictures when it returns from the quilter.

April Block Swap

This block is for Louise in the UK. I love sending blocks international, it just seems cool! Louise likes blues and browns, I really wish I would have made the inside star blue, but you can still see it. I have made this block before under a different name, but I came across it again this one called "Denise's Star".
Here is the block I received from Louise. Please excuse the corner, Jojo got a hold of it and tore one corner - damn dog!

Today....Spring Break

I am going to sew today if it kills me...
We are home this entire week on Spring Break and I have yet to sew a single thread :-(. I have, however, been very busy! I completed my scuba class last weekend.

By the way, that is my hubby with me. He is already a diver. It's been busy, but today is my day so I should get something done if I can ever get my sewing room back in order......
