Jelly Roll Sampler Quilt Along

I have found this quilt along at Moose on the Porch Quilts blog. It sounds like A LOT of fun so lets see how it goes! Now I need to get a jelly roll!

Charity Quilt

I have finished the quilt I was making for a former co-worker. The quilt is to be put up for raffle or silent auction at her and her family's benefit golf tournament. All the proceeds will be donated to the Children's Hospital of Boston.

Here is a picture of the quilt.


And this is the quilt with the coordinating tote bag I made to go with it.

I am so excited to know that my blocks are in the mail to me!! Thanks again Kathleen for hosting this amazing swap!! I am looking forward to assembling all the blocks!

Charity Auction Quilt Progress

I have been a busy bee the past couple of days!! I have cut and sewn 36 blocks together for the Charity Auction quilt! It will be donated to a former co-worker to be auctioned off to benefit Children's Hospital of Boston. I am thrilled she asked me to make a quilt for this great cause! I am hoping to have the quilt top finished tomorrow or Saturday. I decided not to do a dissappearing 9 patch and instead used a pattern that I had never used before. I will post pictures when the quilt top is finished.

On a non-quilty note, our family has decided to be a host family for a pair of the Young American performers that will be holding a music outreach program at my daughters school next week. She is very excited we said yes!!

Thanks for stopping by!! :o)

Excited!!

I am getting so excited about receiving my no sew swap blocks!! Only 2 more need to be received for our group!!! :o)

I am in the midst of planning a quilt I am making for a charity auction to benefit Children's Hospital in Boston. I am thinking of doing a dissappearing nine patch block with these fabrics. What do you think??


I did a couple of practice blocks today and then I made this little tote out of them!! How cute!!




Well thats what I have been up to lately! Thanks for visiting! :o)

Tote bag finished

I have had a productive couple of days!! I finished the tote bag I was working on!!



I hope the person I made it for likes it!! I am getting more and more excited to get my no sew blocks and get them put together!! But before I can work on that quilt I need to start and finish a baby quilt for a charity auction!! I will post as I go along!! Thanks for stopping in!!

No Sew Blocks

I was able to get my cut blocks into the mail yesterday!! I am looking forward to receiving all 8 of the other "blocks"! I didn't get anything quilty done but it was a nice relaxing day. I need to be working on a tote bag today but only time will tell.

My Quilting Day

I had a wonderful time quilting with Angie via our webcams!! I was able to get all the pieces cut for my Jacob's Ladder block in the No Sew Block Swap. I am hoping to get them in the mail tomorrow!!

Here is what the finished block looks like!! I hope everyone in my swap group will like it!!

I am hoping to do some more quilting in tomorrow, I have a tote bag to make!!

Happy quilting!!

Work in Progress :o)

I have alot I would like to add onto this blog but I need to figure out how! I have lots of informational websites and blogs hopefully I will get more up and running either today or tomorrow!! Thanks again for stopping by!!

Welcome!!

I would like to welcome those of you reading this!! I will start by saying I am new at blogging and have no idea really how it works!! I have joined a Red, White and Blue No Sew Quilt Block Swap, so what a better time to start a blog than now! I am REALLY excited, I have never done either a swap or blog before but I figured I would them both a try.

Let me tell you a bit about myself and my quilting experience. I have been quilting for about a year and a half but have been sewing since middle school and have been crafty most of my life. I have a dear friend, Angie, who has helped me in my quilting journey. I am very lucky to have her in my life! Angie and I met while we were stationed with our husbands in Alaska, almost 12 yrs ago!!! I am really excited to be able to virtual quilt with her tomorrow!! :o) My husband and I are still living the military life and loving everything it brings to our lives (which has been alot)!

I guess that is all for now!!
