Rehab Progress, Some Great Mail, and A Quilt Exchange

  I’m back to Rehab and block 12 from the Fat Quarter Shop Designer BOM is a wrap.  This block for me was a bugger and I did quite a bit of reverse sewing…but yippeeee, it’s done!  Now to get to putting the top together.  Thanks Sinta for the  motivation on getting our BOM’s done!

There was also time to work on my Halloween topper and I got the whole thing put together. Some creative pressing will have to happen to get it to lay flat however!!

Being part of the  mini quilt swap hosted by Kris has been so fun,  and my wonderful mini quilt arrived  from my swap partner Michelle along with a sweet charm pack.  Thanks so much Michelle.  Kris had a giveaway for early bird mailers, and Jen and I were both picked.  In my mailbox there was a cute American Jane pattern and yummy American Jane fabrics!  Thanks so much for hosting the swap Kris, and thanks for the great prize!

I am in a friendship group that meets twice a month and we have a yearly quilt exchange/brunch.  Last year we picked a fabric from our stash and with our name attached, placed it in a sealed envelope.  At one of our meetings we picked envelopes and then for the whole year we worked on making a quilt for that person…the name is top secret of course!!  Today was our brunch and big reveal.    Forgot to have a picture taken of my quilt at the brunch, but that’s it laying on the grass….I LOVE IT!!!!  My friend Penny made it and as I told her, I will treasure it forever.   Such a fun time and beautiful quilts. Oblivious to us, there was a nice couple sitting on the other side of the restaurant who came over to say how much they enjoyed the quilt show.  The man asked if any of the quilts were for sale…… silly man :-)!!!!

This Friday, June 15th, is Friday Night Sew-In.  Heidi has the sign up list up and running, open to one and all!

Happy start of the week to everyone!
