Here are the contents of the box . . . lots of patterns . . .

A variety of sewing items . . .

Some yummy fabrics . . .

More yummy fabrics including a charm pack . . .

That panel is a vintage car panel. It's awesome! Too bad I don't have a use for it. The box contains a wonderful variety of items to suit most anyone's wants needs.  :)

Here's what I decided to keep for my stash . . . some yardage and fat quarters . . .

A Little Bit of Everything to Catch Up...

Hello!  :)

I'm still sick. Can you believe it? I can't. I'm just finishing up the antibiotics for the sinus infection, that's still here. My son's been sick all week so I've been taking care of him. Now on top of my existing sinus infection I've caught my son's cold as well as some other health issues going on. Will it ever end? I sure hope so! I'm still trying to get things done here and there but it's hard to concentrate.  :(

I hate the fact that I'm neglecting my blog. I'm going to do my best to try to keep up with it as I get joy from the sharing and caring that comes with it.  :)  Please bear with me.

Look what I got in the mail last week . . .

Yes those are two charm packs of the upcoming Vintage Modern by Bonnie & Camille for Moda! Plus a charm pack of Summer Breeze II by Sentimental Studios for Moda. I couldn't resist! I love all of Bonnie & Camille fabrics and couldn't wait to get my hands on some of this! Now I just have to decide what to do with it. As for the Summer Breeze II . . . I've been eyeing this collection for awhile now. I have a few vintage sheets I've collected in these exact colors that will go well with it. These are definitely nice additions to my growing fabric collection.  :)

Last week I received this wonderful book . . .

I won it over at A Quilting Life blog. It's even signed by the authors . . .

How cool is that?!!! Thanks Sherri!  :)

Beginning tomorrow I'm participating in another Blog Hop Party with Giveaways, sponsored by Michele over at The Quilting Gallery to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

Come back here on Saturday to see what I'm giving away and enter for a chance to win.  :)

Tomorrow night is this month's Friday Night Sew-In. Have you signed up to participate yet? I have!  :)

I'm hoping to be able to work on this . . .

I'm a little behind already but hoping to get caught up quick. Last week I did manage to take these beautiful Ruby fabrics . . .

And cut them into strips ready to piece together.

I even got the white center squares all ready to go. So I'm planning on getting the 12 blocks put together Friday night during the sew-in. Wish me luck!  :)

Until next time . . .

A Full February 1st for Me!

Hello!  :)

I didn't get any sewing done over the weekend like I had planned. The hunky dude, the boy and I did go bowling though. I hadn't been bowling in over 20 years. I was pretty darn rusty . . . skills and body . . . lol! I've been paying for it ever since. We did have fun though!  :)

I had joined a Valentine's apron swap over at Country Pleasures. I thought the due date was February 15th for some reason, which is pretty odd since Valentine's Day is the 14th. Anyway the mailing due date was actually February 1st. So I got busy picking out the pattern and getting the fabric. Then I managed to get the apron plus an extra one for me sewed up pretty quick. Of course I can't show them to you yet but I will soon. I mailed it out today so my partner, Gail of Faithfulness Farm, should receive it soon and then I'll share both of them with you!  :)

I had a pretty productive day today. I finally got the two Snowman Blocks I made for a January Block of the Month Swap mailed out to my two partners.

I also got the charm packs mailed out to the giveaway winners from Monday. So Jennifer and Gail they are on the way to you! Enjoy them!  :)

While I was at it, I got the I-SPY charms mailed out for the charm swap. I'm ahead on this one as they're not due until February 15th. I know I'm shocked too! I'm never early!  Lol!  ;)

That was the end of the mailings today. Whew! It was nice to get those items off on their way!  :) I did manage to make two mini blankets for Doobie today but forgot to take pictures of them. :(  I did take a picture of him earlier today all swaddled up in my blanket though (he was cold).  :)

He's so cute and sweet! Isn't he?!!! He looks like a puppy here but he's not. Do you see his new license? I finally went and got it so he's legal now!  :)

I was even able to make some more progress with the Birdies today!  :)  I managed to get all the sashings on. I decided to go ahead and add some cornerstones where the inner blocks meet using the border fabric. What do you think? How's it looking so far?

I'm loving how it's looking but it's a little too small for me. I know it's supposed to be a lap quilt but I think I want it a little bigger. So far there's only one border to add. Tomorrow I think I'll play around a little bit and maybe add two borders instead of just one. Next time you see it the top should be finished. I hope so! It's not that I'm trying to rush. It's just that I've been dying to see how this one turns out. It's for me! I'm so excited! :)

And if that isn't enough . . . Today the mailman brought some goodies to me!  :)

It's one of my Snowman Blocks for the swap! Isn't it cute?!!! My partner Toni also sent me 4 fat quarters of snowman fabric, some sewing machine needles and thread! I'm a lucky girl!  :)

Here's a close up of the block. She designed it herself! I love it!  :)  Thanks Toni! You did a great job!  :)

Until next time . . .
