A wonderful gift.....

I received a wonderful gift in the mail yesterday.

Ann from "A Good Yarn", sent me a wonderful gift.

Look at that beautiful angel ornament.

In my favourite colours too.

And the little pattern and card are just gorgeous!!!

I was totally surprised and did not expect it.

Thank you so much Ann!!!

21 blocks....

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well.

I've been working on my Rocky Road to Kansas Quilt.

At first it was going to be a lap quilt made up of twelve blocks.

But, as I kept looking at my huge scrap pile,

I though to myself.....

why don't I just keep making these blocks until I have enough for a queen size bed quilt.

I certainly have enough scraps available.

I have 21 blocks completed.

I had to buy a different background fabric because I didn't have enough of the original.

When I went to buy more they didn't have any left.

So I bought some of a similar colour.

I think I will use a few different background fabrics to add some interest.

Well, I hope you all have a great day.

I got some blocks done...

Hi everyone!

I hope you are all doing well.

Today is a day off for me.

So, I did a bit of sewing.

I have not been feeling very well.

So, it's a good thing I was able to stay home.

I finished five out of the six blocks I was working on for my Rocky Road to Kansas quilt.

I have eleven done all together.

I was hoping to get all twelve done today.

But, I think I've reached my limit.

I'm going to rest now.

I hope you like them.

Using up my scraps...

Today, I decided to work on one of my oldest UFO's,

my "Rocky Road to Kansas Quilt".

I used the paper piecing technique to make the scrappy triangles.

I have enough triangles sewn to make six more blocks.

I already had 6 blocks made.

Once I get my backing fabric, and small triangles cut, I will put them together.

That will give me twelve blocks.

I'm just going to keep sewing these blocks and using up my scraps.

I have way too many scraps.

I also made three little 3 inch house blocks.

The block on the right is done backwards.

I'm going to use that one by itself in a little project.

That one was sewn by hand.

The other two were paper pieced.

I'm following along with the quilt-along at 

Building houses from scraps.

The instructions are all on the blog.

I don't know if I will make all the 366 house blocks.

But I'll make some as I feel like it, then put them together.

I hope you are all well.

I have to work the next few days.

Hugs
