Mystery Revealed!

 
I can't stand waiting....I have to tell!

May 19th Sewing Day

We had a great sewing day! We even had an exciting bird visitor - a lazuli bunting! Very cool! We worked on our mystery quilts. A big piece of advice for those who were not at sewing: number your stratas!! and....keep them in numbered piles until you are completely done sewing the squares. Our quilt tops turned out so way cool! No pictures are posted in order to keep the mystery alive for those still working on theirs. Hopefully everyone will have theirs put together for the next sewing day and we will get pictures of all of them.

Here's a fun blog I thought you all might enjoy. She's got some fun projects displayed and what looks like some good instructions.

Progress!!

I finally have the top done for Lensa's quilt. Can I just say....how very sick of pink I am?!!! and...thanks to all of you who donated your pink scraps. Good luck picking them out in all that pink mess!!

Doll Quilt

I made this yesterday and got the binding sewn on this evening. It's so satisfying finishing a project, even a small one.
