Back to quilting

Hi all-I'm back!

I spent the last month surrounded by boxes. Yep, I moved......into a larger apartment. No longer do I sleep in the living room so that I can have a sewing room. Woohoo! Of course, there are still some boxes to empty and arranging and rearranging to do, but I can use my sewing machine again. Picture me dancing LOL.

I finished my January calendar block

• Day 27, 30 and 31--fabric I used for the 2009 Block Swap


• Day 28--scrap from George's quilt


• Day 29--just a filler from my scrap box

I also finished a block for February using my move as a theme. Not my original plan for my blocks, but it still represents what I was doing in even if it wasn't sewing!

• Brown to represent the dead grass of winter


• Heart fabrics to represent Valentine's Day


• Red brick for the old apt building


• Country kitchen fabric to represent the heart of my home


• Pine needles to represent the trees at my new place


• Yellow brick for the new apt building
• Stone path to represent all the walking in and out with boxes
• and, at the bottom, a piece of winter forest for the view from my new home

And.......

My Feb and March A Tisket A Tasket blocks are ready for embroidery!

Well, better get those Swap Blocks to the post office.
