Wondering...

 if my partner will like it.

Here's what I came up with for DQS so far...

Swaps...

I also joined a towel swap. 

My month to do towels is May.

Here's what I received in the mail yesterday from Cindy:

Our postcard theme was circles and/or triangles.

Here's the awesome post card from Isabell, she lives in the UK:

And the fabrics I used for the Robin Rowers:

 Can't show the row yet until she receives it.

This is the row I did for myself:

 and a close up:

All for now....Thanks for looking!

Busy, busy...

Whew! Finally done with my move from NC to IL. 

Still working on getting all my stuff organized, 

nothing like a move to find out how much junk you have, lol.

Last year or two has been rough,

ready for some smooth sailing now!

This will be a busy year quilt wise.

I belong to the 4X6ers, that's every other month.

The Robin Rowers, that's every other month too.

Joined: Birdie Stitches BOM,  

Quilting Gallery's Mug Rug Swap, 

Sew Fresh Scrap Quilting Bee,  

Round 9 ORBC quilt-along.

All of these have Flickr groups.

And ....tada....
I got picked for DQS #10!!!

My goal this year is to tackle my huge(I do mean HUGE)
pile of UFO's.

My other goal is to make sure I photograph everything I make

and blog about it!

Happy New Year!

Lucky day...

In more ways than one!

I've been coveting Happy Zombie's fabric line, Holiday Happy. 

Browsing through etsy.com I came across this shop and he had it on sale...yippee! 

Then I received an email saying I was his 1000th sale and won a $15 gift certificate for his shop. How cool is that?!

Thanksgiving

Short and sweet...

Hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving.

I'm thankful for all my family, friends and good health.

Material things mean nothing without them.

First time...

I entered my Fall-inspired Swap quilt in
Michele's Quilting Gallery Contest.

Hop over there and see if you'd like to vote on my quilt.
Thanks!

This was the theme for our 4X6ers postcard swap. 

Can't say or post pics until they get them in the mail.

It was a fun one to do.
