Speaking of my baby!

Speaking of my baby (I can't believe she is a senior in college) -- her school put together this cute little video.  Check it out.  My son is also a graduate of BC and is in the video with his friends.

So cute!

My baby is going on spring break with her college roommates.  I am happy for her -- I know she will have a great time.  Just hope she stays safe!  Anyway, I made this cute lingerie bag for her to take along.  The pattern came from Sew4Home.  I love it.  Her roommates did too -- now they all want one.

Getting rid of scraps

I started making some string blocks. I have been organizing my stash and I have found lots of fabrics I didn't even remember buying. I also have bags and bags of scraps that I couldn't throw away -- so the other day I started making string blocks. I am not really being picky about what fabrics go next to each other -- its scrappy after all. I have made 12 blocks and think I will need another 68 to make a quilt that will measure 64 x 80 without borders.  Wonder how long this project will take me?   I will post some pictures of the blocks as soon as possible.

Finished up the Celtic Wallhanging

I finished up the Celtic wall hanging I was making for my sister. It came out pretty good. I am slowly but surely crossing things off my list to get done!

5th Annual Fabric Extravaganza in NH

Is anyone going to this? I have gone the last 2 years and loved it. I'll be going again this year -- even though I really don't need any more fabric. I believe the dates are February 20 - 22nd. Great deals on fabrics and we always have a great time. If you can go -- definitely do!

Mystery blocks up to date

I finished up all the blocks for the 24 month mystery. I am all caught up!!! I am posting a picture of all the blocks that I've done. Don't mind the yellow color - I didn't have very good lighting when I took the picture. I'm pretty happy with them . . . all except one. See the one in the second row, second from the right? I'm not sure I like all that green. What do you think? I may have to make up another one but I will wait and see how they all come together. Remember these fabrics were all fabrics given to me not fabric I bought.
