OPAM finished for March

Hi everyone! I hope you are all well. I had four finishes for the month of March. They are my Double hourglass quilt and 2 potholders and a pincushion. I did a lot more sewing then that. But I just added a bunch of projects to my UFO list. Oh well. I just love to sew new things. I am happy to say that I did finish a row of 17 hexagon stars to add to my Hexagon star quilt. That's 7 rows done, 8 rows left to go. I'm getting there. These are all hand pieced so it will take a while. Well, I have to work tonight. Only one more night to work then I'm off for the long weekend. Yeah!!! Five days off in a row. I can't wait....

Quilt-as-you-go Quilt Along!!!

Hi everyone, I made my first block for the above Quilt Along. Penny from Sew Take a Hike has organized this Quilt Along. I thought it would be great to use up my scraps. My first block turned out a bit wonky. But, that's okay. I kind of like it that way. Now I can start on my second block. Here is the flickr link to our group. My blocks are going to have a mix of modern and traditional country fabrics. A bit of a strange combo, but we will see how it turns out.

My Roundabout quilt top!

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a good day. I spent some time with the family today. It was a relatively quiet day. But that was nice. The kids rented a scary movie to watch. I'm not into scary movies, so I let my hubby and the kids watch the movie and I did some sewing. I finished my March Schnibbles quilt top. I really like this top. It was a bit more challenging getting all the seams to line up. It is not perfect. I did take a lot of seams out to try to get it to work better, without much luck. I still like it though. It just won't win any prizes. I hope you like it anyways.

A bit of sewing and some fabric!

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well. It has been a busy week for me. I worked that last 6 days and I am very excited to have the next three days off. I have lots of housework to catch up on, but I do hope to get some sewing time in too.

I did do a little bit of sewing. I have been working on my March Schnibbles quilt. I have a few blocks done, and a bunch that are half done. I have to cut more fabric to finish this. I am using the Snippets fabric by American Jane. I bought these last year. I have used this fabric for other projects, but I had quite a bit left over. I thought it would be perfect for this pattern. Hopefully I will get the top done before the end of the month deadline.

I also got a package in the mail today from Sew Love Fabrics etsy store. I bought a scrap bag and two metre cuts of some "Apple" fabric by Timeless Treasures. I was really excited to see what I got in my scrap bag. I got some beautiful pieces and I can't wait to use some of these.

I celebrated my birthday on Wednesday. I had to work evening shift, but my husband gave me some money to buy more fabric. He knows me very well. LOL! I ordered some from the Fat Quarter Shop. It was all on sale too. I should get it next week. Can't wait!!! I hope you all have a great night!
