Sew Happy Quilt ALong Blocks 3 and 4

Sew Happy Quilt ALong Blocks 3 and 4, a photo by labellacolori on Flickr.

I really love the way that block 4 turned out!!! I also love the white print fabric in that block, which might be why I am partial to that block over the others.

Jenna has done a fabulous job with her tutorials, these block were so easy and fast!! If you haven't started a quilt along before there is still lots of time to join in at Sew. Happy. Geek. I got home from a long day at work and grabbed a glass of wine and whist my hubby cooked dinner (yes I am a lucky girl) I went straight to the sewing room. By the time dinner was ready and on the table these pretties were sewn and pressed. One great tip that Jenna has and I always do is to heavily starch all fabrics before cutting to help keep the bias edges from warping and the point crisp. 


Go and check out all the other great blocks others are making at Sew. Happy. Quilt. Flikr Group.

Not Like I Need More To Do,

BUT.......

<justabitfrayed>

Brenda at justabitfrayed is hosting a Scraps Quilt Along and who couldn't use a quilt along like that?!?!?!!!

<justabitfrayed>

I am needing to free up some space in my sewing room and this just might do the trick. It starts on Jan 12th which gives me plenty of time to dig out all my scraps.

I think I will use a Kona cotton maybe in ash or - I just don't know but some solid color other than white. I just finished a quilt top that I have yet to post/blog and the background fabric I used was Kona tarragon and I really like the look of the pale green in place of a white background I was originally going to use.

I came across Tracey at Itching 2 B Stitching post about her craft room make over and began to hyperventilate when I saw this...

Now that I am breathing normal, I should be finishing up my blocks for the Sew.Quilt. Geek. QAL

New Year New Quilt Along!!!

Not long and we will be in the year of Two-thousand and Twelve! 

I know its an old cliche "time goes by faster the older you get" but its soooo true!!!

Where did 2011 go??

So looking on to the 'Horizon' of 2012 and new projects, I came across Jenna 

at Sew. Happy. Geek. and she is hosting a quilt-along for 2012, what fun!! 

Does this look like a fresh fun start to the new year?!?!

Well, it does to me!! 

I have picked out my fabrics, or at least the main players in this quilt...

Horizon Morning Tides by Free Spirit 

(did you catch the pun/play on words earlier? yea, I know I'm a goof ball)

I love purple and yellow together, so cheerful!!

I will be adding in some solid kona cottons, maybe white, purple and yellow. 

That is if I can find them locally?

What projects are you planning for the New Year?
