Well, Happy St. Patty's day to you.   I have had a good day, I was working on a big project with the group I am on.  It is called the Boomerang 7 Water Group.  I prepared 38 Fat Eighths and mailed them out today.  Nothing went right, but I am new to this and I will know better how to manage this next time around.   When I got back I had received 3 of the fabrics from which I will make 3 blocks and return to senders.  It is a pretty fast project and now I am beginning to search for blocks to make for them.  My fabric was what I sent out this a.m.  I believe I will go traditional unless I don't get patterns that shout out to me.  The people who got my fabric will make blocks for me so it will be great fun all the way thru.  Julianne I saw the bowl and pitcher block you did and I love it.  Can you send me an url for that?
I love it, I collect them.  I will make pictures of mine to show you.  The real things.  Not pictures.
Well pictures will come later so I better get to making those blocks.

Birthday

Not much going on today. Hubby took me to my favorite out of town place. No quilting done today or tomorrow, then back to normal. It has been such a great day, I am going to have a hard time getting back to normal again. Thank goodness I only have one birthday a year, I would be so spoiled it would be a shame. LOL

Craftsy Block of the Month







These are my January Craftsy Blocks of the Month. This is a neat, free tutorial on their website. I really enjoy the tutorials!


This block is called Wonky Pound Sign.>










I recommend this Block of the Month to anyone wanting one. You get two blocks per month and it has the free tutorial to tell you step by step. I figure I'm never too old to learn new things so that is why I use this site. All you have to do is sign up for it on www.Craftsy.com and the teacher is Amy Gibson.



I forgot about the camera on my phone!







The block on the left is called Friend's Star. It is from Marcia Hohn's Quilterscache! I think it is beautiful. This is the February Block of the Month for Julianne's Guild. I am quilting along with her.

The block on the right is called Prairie Queen Block and it the March Block of the Month for Julianne's guild.

The House block on the far left is called a Community Block and it is the January Block of the Month for Julianne's guild. I am completely in love with this block!

Darn Camera

I have gotten most of my bom's done. I wanted to post my photos of them so everyone could see and my camera won't upload the pictures. I may have to buy a camera just to get my photos to be viewable on my site. I finished the three blocks from Julianne, and 2 of my blocks from Craftsy. Maybe tomorrow I'll be able to get them uploaded!
