Working Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!

 

Today has started out as a great day!  I walked three miles on the greenway and go some fresh air in this cooler weather.  Now, it is time for Working Wednesday.  I have several projects in progress right now.  I am working on some Christmas cards for my sister, so that is the first order of business today.  I started on them last week and I am going to work on them for awhile this morning. 

 

Then, I am going to work on basting and quilting the table runner.  I have both the front and back pieced now and it is close to being finished.  Here's a sneak peek of the front and back:

 

 

Hope you like it!  Let me know what you think! 

I will keep you updated on it's progress over the next few days!

 

Don't forget to stop by the Modern Quilt Guild QuiltCon Block Challenge! 

It is Day 15 and it is all about Texts and Pictorial Blocks!

 

Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Monday Mayhem

Welcome to Monday Mayhem!

 

It's Monday and I say it is going to be a great day and a great week!

The Tennessee Volunteers won this weekend and so did Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos!

It was also a cool and beautiful crisp weekend here in East TN!  It felt like fall was in the air!  As we know here in TN, the weather changes as soon as you turn around, so I am sure we will be in for more hot weather, before fall really sets in!

 

I have the fall table runner top done and I am piecing the back this morning.  I hope to have it all put together and finished later today.  I will show you pics tomorrow.  :)  For now, I do have a sneak peek of an upcoming project.  October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I am making a special quilt for someone and will share more info soon.  This is part of the fabric I picked out because her favorite colors are bright pink and light blue.  I stumbled upon the blue fabric and just love it and the pink print also had a blue dots in it.  I am going to pair it with some pink and blue Kona solids.  I am working on finding just the right pattern and I can't wait to get started on the quilt!  I will keep you in the loop about it's story and progress, starting very soon!

Tuesday Talk

Happy Tuesday!

 

Today is another great start to the week!  I worked really hard over the weekend, but I did get to watch a little football and Nascar!  Go Vols and Roll Tide!  Yes, I live in TN and I am a Volunteer fan, but I do like Alabama and of course, the SEC.  Anyway, I am finishing some orders today, so it will be another busy, busy day!

 

I wanted to share my third and final block from the QuiltCon Block Challenge.  It is being featured, along with many other wonderful blocks, over on the Modern Quilt Guild Blog today.  I really enjoyed making this block and I may think about using this as a block in a future quilt!

Labor Day Weekend and Modern Blocks!

Happy Saturday!

 

Can you believe it is September 1st!  Wow!!  This year has flown by and I am not sure where the summer went, but it's Labor Day weekend...the unofficial end to summer!  Here in East TN, we will have warm weather for some time to come.  Hopefully soon, we will start to cool down a little, like we did in August and have some crisp, cool nights.  I love the fall!

 

Anyway, I am working on some things this weekend, like finishing my card order and then I might get into a little sewing.  I have a few projects that are on the table ready to get started and I can't wait!

 

Today is Day 6 of the Modern Quilt Guild's QuiltCon Block Challenge posts.  There are some amazing blocks, so stop by and check them out for some great inspiration!

Friday Fun and QuiltCon Block Reveal!

TGIF---It's Friday and Labor Day weekend!  WooHoo!

 

It's been a very busy, but great week so far!  I had one of my QuiltCon Challenge Blocks featured on Monday of this week, on the Modern Quilt Guild Blog for the QuiltCon Block Challenge.  It has been so nice to see all of the great blocks this week!  What great inspiration! 

Well, I got an email saying that another of my three blocks was going to be featured today! 
Today, the feature is about Stars and Points and I did a Wonky Star for my block!  Wow, two blocks in one week...I am truly humbled and I am very glad I did this block challenge.  No matter what happens with the 20 blocks that get selected for the QuiltCon Quilt Raffle, I know that these blocks are going to go into some amazing quilts that will go to the Austin Children's Shelter. 
That's is why I did this challenge in the first place!

Here is my block!

Have a great, Fantastic Friday!
