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......

March Block Swap

This is the block I made for Tracy in North Carolina. She requested purple. I will be making this block again soon for the Memory Lane quilt (it's the March block). I thougt the pattern was cute.
This is probably the first time I have ever received a block before I even started mine. Here is what I received (and I really like it).

Jojo - 9 months

Here is my Jojo boy with Calah at almost 9 months old. He is getting so big so fast! I am not sure what his weight is these days but he was at 75 lbs a month ago.

February - Memory Lane

These are the 4 February blocks for Block Central's Memory Lane quilt. This is the entire middle section and it's much bigger than it looks. The blocks are not sewn together because there will be pieces in between. I kind of like them like this, but I didn't design it so we will see how it comes along.
