Monday

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.
