New project...

I know I know...another new project...

I just cant resist!

I love these Paper Pieced Lonestar blocks...

They are one of my favorite blocks to 

make......they use up

scraps like crazy which suits me just fine!  

My reasoning for starting this quilt was 

my scrap bucket with 

all my different colors all bagged 

separately...I want to use

large jewel tone scraps for the backgrounds...gold, 

blues, greens, purples, wines....

I like how this is looking for far....another 

quilt I just might 

have to keep...uhhhh ohhhh!!

Vacation Time BOM

Its time for the April block in 

Pat Sloans Vacation Time BOM. 

This months block is called

"Penny Arcade"

Heres my Brown & Aqua version...

Heres a snapshot of all four blocks together...

Its looking good but I think I need to incorporate some more

of the aqua backgrounds to even things out...

Ha! The block in the lower right hand corner is 

upsides down...it supposed to look like a

heart...whoops! 

RSC Saturday!

Its RSC Saturday!  

Time to link up our blocks for the week!

Funny thing is, this month the color is Purple....and I 

love love love that color...but do you think I have alot of scraps of purple???

NO!

Why is that exactly? I dont understand??

Anyways..

Heres my Purple Scrap Jar Stars....

I am getting better and better at keeping that 1/4" on the

outside of those Hst's.....that makes me very happy!

Go and check out what everyone else is doing 

over at SoScrappy!

Introducing Lilly!

Look what I got!!

I scored this Singer 404 at the thrift store for $15....the only

thing wrong was that I had to figure out a spool pin for her, so my

husband figured out that screw up there......worked great!

Shes a beauty thats for sure....lovely two toned mocha color....

in perfect condition...and she PURRS.....

Another Vintage baby rescued!  Yay!

Shes AWESOME!!

QBSA PP Group

For the latest round of QBSA

"Quilting Block Swaps Australia"

my partner requested this 

Red Emperor block....in purple, black and white.

This one was a pain in the butt....not my favorite...I dont

like the fact that theres no way in H*** to

save those points!  Crazy!

Hope she likes it!

RSC2015!

Well...

As if I didnt have enough to do already, 
I spotted a cool quilt block on last weeks link ups for the RSC and being 

the sucker that I am, I dove right in!

I present to you...the Bubble Block!

in this months color Purple!

These bad boys are 15.5" unfinished!

Its all Nanns fault, she posted hers and I just had

to get busy making them too!!

Thanks Nann for all the pointers!

So, needless to say, I needed to make them in all the colors of the 

year so far so here they all are!!

 Blue!

 Yellow!

 Pink!

and.....A group shot on my weedy lawn!

Pretty cool looking eh?  

That makes 4 different blocks for the 
RSC each month..

CRAZY QUILTY LADY!!
