Maniac Monday on Tuesday Again


It has been a hard week. The little guy I watch is having a hard time pooing. He has been extra fussy and has lots of tummy troubles. He is #1 so most everything else stops. I have gotten a few things done. Here is my block for my second partner in Block Swap Adventure. This block was paper-pieced and it was so fun. I love the way the colors came together. 

I was part of a swap that I almost did not make the cut off time. I was late a day or two and the gals were nice enough to count me in. Thank you ladies.
 Here is the package I received. It is so torn up. Sometimes things go through the mail wit not trouble but other times they go to "you know where".
Here are a few pictures of what I received.  I love all of them, they look so fun.
These where sent as an added bonus. Thank you!

I am part of another swap on Flickr. I ordered fabric from Fat Quarter. This is how the package came. It was covered in oil!
Thank goodness for plastic bags! So for everybody out there, when you send fabric or a block please put in a sealed plastic bag!
Here are the 5 fabrics I am sending to the group.
All cut up and ready to go.

I have finished my DD#1 Graduation top. I will be quilting it soon. I saw this pattern in a picture and figured out how to make the quilt. I had everything cut out so I was able to sew the whole top in one day. 

Here is my project list for the end of April and the beginning of May.

Maniac Monday #6 2012


So this is how I did on my list from last week:

1. Finish step 1 and start on step 2 of Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt.
Did not finish step 1 and did not start on step 2. I did work on step 1. It is just going to take me a long time to get past these two steps.
2. Finish March and April's Count on It calendar wall hangings.
I finished both. I think they are so cute!!

3. Get caught up on my Designer Mystery blocks. I think I am about 6 blocks behind. Well ok maybe my goal should be get 2 blocks done. LOL!
So funny!! I just tonight started on them.
4. Get started on my March Schnibble.
I have the fabric picked out.
 
So I might not have gotten done the things on my list but I did a bunch of other stuff.
 
I signed up for a couple of fun things I thought you might like to know about. Hop over to Hilachas to join a fabric swap. We will be swapping 10 inch square pieces of a solid (tone on tone) fabric and a novelty print. It will be so great!

Also Sarah over at Confessions of a Fabric Addict has started up Hands2Help Charity Quilt Challenge. Sign ups started yesterday. You have this week. Jump over there and see if you can help. There are two charities this year.

I received my block from Masha all the way over in Russia for Block Swap Adventure!! I have never received anything from there. I have real Russian fabric. So cool. I love the block.
 I have decided because I am blessed to be receiving stuff from all over the world I want to keep the stamps. Here are the ones from Russia.

I am part of a Saturday Sampler at a Local Quilt Shop (LQS). This is block 2 of the BOM I am doing. It is so sweet.

 I am done with the flowers for my partner from The Inchy Hexagon Flower Swap. I hope that she likes them!

So for the next week:
1. Get all 6 blocks done for Designer Mystery BOM. This is my main focus.
2. Get my Schnibbles top done.
3. Work on my Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt Along.

I hope that everybody has a great evening!!
