April Showers Blog Hop

Thanks so much for stopping by. Today’s my day for the April Showers Blog Hop Challenge hosted by Joan of MooseStash Quilting. The challenge was to make something having to do with showers for example, baby showers, wedding showers, or the like. Since no one I know is having any showers, I went with rain showers.

Give It A Whirl Blog Hop

“Give It A Whirl”blog hop challenge was to make a pinwheel project. I was excited about this one cause I really wanted to make pinwheel blocks. I like energy and movement these blocks have.

I ended up not having the time to sew that I thought I would. I did get some blocks made and will continue to work on quilt top in the days to come.

Virtual Christmas Cookie Exchange

I’m so glad you stopped by. I’ve been working on my project in the spare time I have with my “day job”. The pattern is called Candy Cane Biscornu by The Blue Flower. It’s not available at this time I think. It was designed for a class that was held during ‘The Jingle Ball‘ last weekend. I didn’t have it ready for the class unfortunately but now I’m almost done with it. Just needed a little more time. A couple of days of spare time stitching after work and I think it will be complete. It’s going to be so sweet.

When Pigs Fly Sew It – Show It

The challenge for this Blog Hop was to sew up a PIG’s – Projects In Grocery sacks, UFO – Unfinished Project or a WIP – Work In Project. WIP’s I don’t have any but UFO’s there are plenty. Actually, around 30 I think. Now, that may not sound too bad to some quilters. As far as I’m concerned that is way too many. I live in an apartment now and don’t have the room to be storing UFO containers. All my UFO’s need to be sewn up and quilted. When I noticed the gals were hosting a Sew It – Show It challenge for PIG’s, UFO’s & WIP’s, I decided to join since I had a UFO up on my flannel wall already. Why not, I hadn’t joined in a challenge since last year.

Time In a Bottle Blog Hop

When Carol at Just Let Me Quilt posted for sign up’s I chose to join because I wanted a reason to make these hourglass blocks. I haven’t made to many and I’ve had some trouble with them in the past. So I decided to give them another try.

Making the blocks, I paper pieced them hoping to give myself a chance to be more on point with the blocks. It did help a lot.
