Time Flies

My Goodness I did not realize how long it has been since I last wrote on my blog. I think sewing is taking over my life but don't tell my family I said that. I seem to have committed myself to lots and lots of Quilt Alongs, Blocks of the Month and Blocks of the week this year which I was thinking about today may not have been a very wise decision as all my unfinished projects (some of which go back a few years) are not getting worked on at all but then I thought well maybe that's a good thing because if I leave them till next year it will be like starting a new project all over again, right? Well it works for me, at least for now, come next year I might be very sorry I haven't been giving them any attention or at least little attention this year. At least after all this time a few progress pictures of my current works of art to show you, I hope when you see them you will understand why I have become so hooked on all these wonderful projects. Enjoy.

My local Quilt Shop (The Blanket Box) is having a Scrappy Quilt of the Month instead of a Block of the Month and this is the quilt for February. I added some Flowers to what would have been a plain center patch because I bought myself a Christmas present this year and it's a "ScanNcut" machine by Brother so I used it to make the flowers and I machine applique them on (first time I have ever done machine applique and I hope to do more of it).

These are the blocks I have been working on for the 3 different fabric versions of the Quilt Along that Michele Foster is running. The first 2 photo's are of the blue scrappy version and the next 2 are a Christmas Quilt, still the same quilt just different fabrics. I have never made myself a Christmas Quilt I suppose because her in Australia we don't really have much call for quilts over Christmas because it is our Summer and too darn hot to put a quilt on but never the less I am making one mainly to use up (hopefully) a lot of Christmas fabric that I have had for way too many years. The last 2 photo's are of my batik fabric version and I have to say is really my favourite. I hope you like them as much as I do.

This is an updated photo of "The Globetrotting" quilt I am doing with Pat Sloan. The picture of the one block was for this month of March.

These are the updated photo's of the "Make a Wish Foundation" of America's Block of the Month and again the block on it's own is for the month of March. But wait theirs more, I just don't have the photo's of them yet so you will have to wait until my next posting for those which I hope doesn't take as long as this one did. Until next time my friends, Happy Quilting. Stay Safe and Happy.
