A belated HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!
It seems that I must work a bit harder to keep this blog updated. . . . not just for myself but for whomever else might be reading.
That is one of my new year's resolutions. But, as you see, it's not working very well! LOL
But, I have been busy!
I have a Secret Sister from a Facebook group . . . and I made her something, but I can't show you because she might be reading here.
I also am in a fabric square swap (again on Facebook) for 10" squares. It is based on your birth month. . . so January have 4 people in it. Those were sent out. I did not take pictures of the squares; I'll try to remember to do that for February.
On a quilting group on Delphi Forums I'm involved in another birthday swap. . . . and I sent out a book this month:
And, this year, I finally took the plunge and signed up for Stash Bee. I have been tempted several years and finally decided that 2016 was going to be my year to do it.
I have already sent out my first block:
It should be reaching it's home by Saturday (unless this snow storm we are expecting throws a "monkey wrench" in the works).
This was a nice, large block (16") and it was a fun one to piece. It gave me a great opportunity to hunt through my fabrics to find different fabrics in each of the eight colors (blue, purple, green, teal, pink, red, yellow and orange).
I had such a good time with this block I may make a quilt for myself using the same pattern!
I have some secret sewing to get done over the weekend. . . . so even if we get all the snow that they are predicting I will have more than enough to keep me busy.
Well, that about sums up my January so I will be getting on with things. . . . . have a great day!
In peace and pieces,
