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!!
