April Cheers

It is hard to believe that April is almost over.  Been keeping busy with some fun quilting projects. I completed the April "Sunny Days" from the Sugar Block Club.  This block was paper piecing and it was really fun to make.  Also, I've been working on completing my 2012 Craftsy BOM all I have left is to put all three layers together and then practice the machine quilting.  (Now that will be a new challenge.)  Learning from Leah Day in her Craftsy class.  Then I moved on to make a quick bag for a birthday gift.  I completed a quilt top and now to add some sashing and sew the layers and that will be done.  So I have a few WIP sewing projects taking place.

Have a happy day!

Adventures and Accomplishments over the Holidays

I hope everyone had a nice holiday season.  Happy 2013 to all!

Over the holidays I went to see my sister in Las Vegas, NV.  There we went to the after Christmas sales at some of the fabric shops.  First we visited "Fabric Boutique" where my sister found a cute snowman wallhanging that she wanted me to do.  Oh boy, a cute project I can't wait to get to my sewing machine to start making it.  I love snowmen!  The store has lots of quilt/craft projects up that are adorable.  Then we ventured to another store "The Christmas Goose" and found some cute fabric.  Both are very charming stores to visit if you are in the Vegas area.  

Then it was off to Lake Havasu City, AZ to get to my sewing machine to start finishing up some quilt project and start a new one.  Yup you guessed it the snowman wallhanging is in progress.  I finished making some baby blankets, pillowcases and started the finishings on my 2012 Craftsy Block of the Month.  While I was there I did visit one of the quilt stores "JonAli Quilt n' Sew" and made a tiny purchase of some cute quilt fabrics and the backing to my sister's wallhanging.  On New Year's Day it was off to Starbucks to get to the internet where I can view the "Sugar Block Club" Pattern.  Yippee it was there so after a walk by the lake it was back to the sewing machine to complete the first block!

Well, once I learn more with the blogging I will post some pictures of the blocks.

Cheers to a great 2013!

Learning to Blog!

So I'm learning to blog to see how this works.  I think there is a lot to learn with designing a blog just as there is with designing a quilt or any other craft projects.  All tips with learning are appreciated!
