Hey, check out the link on the right side for the Pinwheel Party hosted by Twiddletails blog.  Think I can keep up with a block a week for 12 weeks and the 13th week for sashing and borders?  We’re going to find out!

Here’s my stash report:

Added:  0     Cumulative Added:  39.5 yds

Used:  .5  (house blocks)      Cumulative Used:  ~7 yds

Net Out/(In):   (32.5 yds) Still heading in the right direction…..just not too quickly

The winter Olympics are over so it’s time to move my sewing machine back to the sewing room.  I’m an Olympics junkie and these have been some great games.  I love that NBC shows events on multiple channels so you can see more of the games.  Well, multiple channels plus AT&T Uverse ;)   Here’s what’s on my design wall and you can check out Judy’s blog for what other quilters are working on this week.


I made some house blocks for Bumble Beans BASICS Home Gather which I’ll drop in the mail today.  Victoria doesn’t use patterns but she posted directions for her house block.  I must say it was a challenge :)

I laid out the blocks from the Foxy Fassett BOM.

Not easy with so much help from my four footed feline companions, I have to tell you!  Then I started in on the sashing and got about half the top together.

Wowsa !!  It is colorful, isn’t it?  I love the fabric I purchased for the border.  It’s not going to calm the colors down but I hope it pulls it all together.  That pink block is really glaring at me, yikes.
