Working Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday!

 

I hope today is turning out to be a good one for you!  It is a busy one for me!  Off to fun a few errands and then I will be back to sew later this afternoon!  Here is a block I did Monday night.  It is going to go into a Quilts Of Valor quilt.  I will explain more later, but I wanted to show it to you real quick!  Got to run!

 

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Sunday!

 

I hope your day has started out well.  I wanted to share one of the charity quilts our Modern Guild did recently.  We asked our members to put together a Nine Patch Block with Kona Coal as the middle block and to use blue and green solid or print fabric for the other eight blocks.  Once we collected all the blocks, we cut them and made them into disappearing nine patch blocks, arranged them and then they were sewn together.  This is the beautiful quilt that appeared.  It has been been quilted and given to our charity to a deserving recipient.  I love how this quilt turned out and I love that our ladies are so giving with their talent and time.  It is truly a blessing to be in such a wonderful guild and to be able to give back to our community!

Thankful Thursday!

It's Thankful Thursday!

I hope you are having a great day!

Today, I am thankful for leftover scraps of fabric! 

These blocks are for a charity quilt our guild is doing.  We just turned them in and I will be putting together all the blocks with sashing before sending it to be quilted.  The colors for this quilt are grays, blues and greens in solid fabric and we could do any inprov 12 1/2" block.  I recently made a pillow using these solids along with a print and had plenty of the Kona solids left.  So, I whipped out two blocks.  I love these colors.  They are Kona Grass, Kona Marine and Kona Medium Gray.  I love when I have big scraps of fabric that I can use for other projects!  It's always so fun to see what you can come up with!  I can't wait to see all the blocks put together. 

I will definitely post as soon as it is done!

Working Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!

I hope your day has started out to be a great one!  Today is Working Wednesday and this is what I'll be working on the rest of the week!  This is a card order I have that is for my sister's friend.  She owns a spa and wanted some handmade cards to send out to her clients.  I am very thankful for this order, because it is giving me a chance to be creative and do one of the other things I love, which is card making.  So, I will be busy wrapping up this order before I sew again!

 

Hope you have a wonderful day!
