While I have not made any blog entries, I have done some sewing. YAY! I finished up my Scrappy Trips quilt top. I need to get it outside for a proper photo. This was when I still had one block left to sew.
I've finally put my Liberty & Justice bee blocks up on the design wall, and made a decision on how I want to finish it up. These blocks come from a bee that ended in July - just before my surgery. I need to make one more 16" block, which I have chosen fabrics for. Then I plan to add sashing (white) with a diamond corner block where the sashing meets. If I add sashing to the outer edges as well, I can get it up to the size needed for Quilts of Valor. I am looking forward to getting this finished to meet my commitment to donate the quilty result of this bee.
I won one of Faith's monthly giveaways at Fresh Lemons sponsored by SkyReve Fabrics. This is the super cute Farm Life bundle I won:
I decided to combine my winnings with some left over pieces in my stash to sew a quick Layer Cake Lemonade pattern from the Fat Quarter Shop, perfect for large prints like these. I took the certification class at a local shop so that I can rent time on the Longarm. This will be an excellent quilt to test out the whole longarm process, and since I have nobody with little kids to gift this to, I will have a nice donation quilt here too I think.
Finally, I have a pixel quilt in the planning stages. This one will be a quilt for my husband since it is a reproduction of a photo I took of him Ski Racing last year. This one will be a long-term project I am sure!
I am gathering up all of the projects I will enter in the 1st Quarter Finish-A-Long, which starts in a couple of days. Hoping for a good day to take a few photos outdoors. Brrrrr!
Welcome, welcome 2014!!
