Sew Simple Quilt - Block 3

I finally had a little down time today to spend in my sewing room. I think I spent an hour just cleaning it before I could begin anything. It's been awhile since I have been in here. My girls also invaded my room today and dug through my scrap bucket. They made doll clothes and mini squares. Very very cute! I am so glad that they have an interest in being creative. I remember when I was a kid and my cousin Michele and I would make Barbie clothes from my Aunt Ann scraps.

My mother reminded me the other day that this monthly project was started in October '08, so I am not just a few months behind but almost an entire year! So I am trying to get it complete especially since I really like it. It's so bright! This block is called Spinning Wheel. Isn't it cool how the block looks almost 3D?

Memory Lane - June/July

This block is called Flying X. It's ok, definitely not one of my favorites. This blanket is coming along nicely. I also worked on a lot of the border pieces today, the border is my favorite part of this blanket. That part is a surprise!

This block is called Swamp Angel. Now this one I like and it was very simple.

Somewhere in Time - COMPLETE


It's back from quilting! Isn't it beautiful? I absolutely love it. I am so proud of it. This is my first complete "bed Size" quilt.

June Block Swap


Here is the block I made for my June partner in New Jersey. I have received her block yesterday, but I haven't had a chanced to take a picture yet.
I will soon promise.
Here is the block I recieved. This is definitly one of the nicest blocks I have received in the 2 years I have been in the club. I have currently paused my membership with the club until my life slows down a little. Thanks Cherie for a great block!
