Finally a crafty weekend!

It felt good this weekend to get a lot of crafty project done!  ***Ann and Ava don't read this; it's got SPOILERS!***

1) Remade my phone case for running.  The sides were too tight, so I ripped it out and sewed it back together with a different technique.  It works great now, especially when hubby demo'ed it for me when I finished it.  Love that guy.

2) Made my baby niece a Buttercup bag and ruffled clutch for her birthday in May (extra yay for getting it done early.  Buttercup pattern is here, clutch pattern is here, and fabric is Always & Forever by Deb Strain for Moda fabrics

3) Made a Dr. Seuss taggy blanket for my other sister's bun-in-the-oven

4) Quilted a set of 4 mug rugs that I originally intended to hand quilt.  Yeah, that went no where.  I still need to bind these.  Fabric is Awesome by Sandy Gervais and pattern is by Sweetwater

All on top of being sick!  Also, my Halloween quilt is on its way to Mom's to be quilted.  I have my Christmas mystery BOM out now to work on.

2010 Designer Mystery BOM Blocks 9 and 10

This weekend I got two new blocks finished from the 2010 Designer Mystery Block of the Month sponsored by the Fat Quarter Shop.

Block Nine "Matching Ornaments" designed by Joanna Figueroa

Joanna Figueroa designed the fabric line used in the FQS 2011 Designer Mystery Block of the Month

Block Ten "All Tied Up with Pretty Red Tinsel" Designed by Polly Minick and Laurie Simpson

More Block of the Month Blocks

I've finished two more Fat Quarter Shop 2010 Designer Mystery Block of the Month blocks.

Block Five: "Peppermint Pinwheels" designed by Carrie Nelson

Block Seven: "Warm Woolen Mitten" designed by Pam Buda

I got a little out of order, but now I'm just one month behind!  Woot! I've also ordered material to finish this quilt, so hopefully I can get some bigger pieces together in the near future.

My 2010 Designer Block of the Month

I'm in a Block-of-the-Month club sponsored by the Fat Quarter Shop.  The fabric is 12 Days of Christmas by Kate Spain.  I'm sort of...well...behind.  I finished the first block in a sort of timely fashion:

During block two, I had equipment gremlins.  That was in November, or so.  I finally pulled it out and finished block two,...and three and four!  These were three of my seven completed blocks when we had a huge snow storm.

Block One: "Gifts Under the Tree" designed by Gudrun Erla. (I made this previously.)

Block Two:  "Santa's Lucky Hat" designed by Bonnie Olaveson and Camille Roskelley. (I started this before Thanksgiving and finished it today.)

Block Three:  "Wreath Over Our Door" designed by Sandy Gervais.

Block Four:  "Oh Christmas Tree" designed by Heather Mulder Peterson.

At least I'm less behind now.  I should be getting block eight soon.  Sigh.
