The start of my Winter White Schnibbles quilt top

Well, I'm participating in the "Year of Schnibbles" and the Winter White pattern was the pattern that was chosen for the month of September. Unfortunately, I couldn't get this pattern locally and had to order it online. You know how the mail can be sometimes. Often you get your order really quick and then other times it takes forever. Well....this was one of those times. I just got my pattern in the mail yesterday. I received it at 11:30 am and then had to leave for work. When I got home I was way too tired to work on it. So this morning I got up early and made all the flying geese blocks. But then I had to go to work again. So tonight when I got home, I made three blocks out of the nine. I'm too tired to do anymore. They are not perfect but I still really like them.

It's past midnight now. I have to go to bed, because I have to get up early with the kids. It's always busy. I hope you are all well. Take care!!!

I did some stitching....more fabric....Blogger Quilt Festival

Hi everyone, I had to work today. It was a long day and I'm still fighting that cold that I've had since Tuesday. I hope it goes away soon. I did finish the stitching that I showed you a sneak peak of the other day. I'm using the Charming Bed Pocket pattern that Cori Blunt made for the Stitcher's Angel Swap. I just love this little stitchery. She is such a great designer. I love her new blog. You should go check it out. So now that I'm done the stitching, I'll be able to put it all together. I used coloring pensils to color the design on my fabric. I then painted some textile fabric medium over it to make it washable. Heat set it. Then embroidered around it. This is my first time trying this out. I really enjoyed doing it and it has turned out really nice.

I also got some more fabric in the mail yesterday. It's the "Apple" fabric by Timeless Treasures. I really love this fall fabric. So nice. I can't wait to make a quilt with it. I plan to use it to make a lap quilt. I purchased this fabric from the fabric shoppe.

On another note, Amy from Park City Girl is having her second Blogger Quilt Festival soon. I participated in the first one and had a great time. So, I'm spreading the word.



I hope you all have a good night. I have four more days to work. Then I'm off. Can't wait. I didn't get my Winter White Schnibbles pattern in the mail yet. I'm really disappointed because I was really looking forward to getting it done for this month end. Maybe it will come on Monday and I can get at least the top done for the Sept Year of Schnibbles project. Oh well....what can I do....I couldn't get it locally.

Happy Stitching!!
