Another Year of Schnibbles!

I am so excited to be a part of

Another Year of Schnibbles

 put on by Sinta at PINK PINCUSHION and Sherri at A Quilting Life. I had a lot of fun last year. I order my pattern late and only really worked on it today. It came together VERY quickly. I love it. This year I am only using fabric I have on hand. The only fabric I am allowing myself to buy for this is solids. I use a lot of white and black. I hope you have a good time hopping over to these two blogs tomorrow to see the Schnibbles Parade. 

Here is my finished top!!

Oh and here is the reason for my blog silence. 

On January 18th I started watching my little nephew. He is a sweety. His name is Jayden and he is 2 months old. I am having so much fun with him. Chat with you soon.

Maniac Monday #2 2012

So I am a few days late with my Maniac Monday. I have been sick again. I have a very bad cold/bronchitis thing. I have been coughing and not breathing. I can't sleep and I am to tired to stay awake. LOL! Now I am on the up swing but it is still hard to breathe. As far as my list I did ok.

1. Make 6 more Geese in a Ring blocks.

I made 4 more. I will be working on the other 2 this week.

Sorry about the lighting. I am having so much fun making these blocks.

2. Make 2 hexie flowers for my partner.

~Done

3. Pick out fabric for Count Your Blessings Quilt Along.*

Nope I never even looked.

4. Make 3 #1 blocks for the above quilt.*

No fabric picked out.

If there is more time:

5. Start cutting fabric for Bonnie Hunter's Mystery Quilt Double Delight.*

 I had lots of time but just not for sewing. LOL!

 So I am not posting a list for this next week. I am going to try and get as much rest as I can. I will finish up the one block I am working on and the other two Geese in a Ring blocks. I want to get them mailed off this weekend.

I hope everybody is feeling well.

Maniac Monday #1 2012

This is the first Maniac Monday for this year. Last Monday we needed some time to recover from our New Years Eve party. Then the stomach flu hit, every one in my family got it. I even got sick in my van. Let me tell you that was not fun to clean up. But all is back to normal now and things are being taken care of.

I received my block from my December partner for Block Swap Adventure. I love it.

I received the buttons from Quilting Gallery from way back in September for the Celebrate Christmas Quilt Along. I made 10 blocks. I want to make the rest. One day right? I have decided I am going to keep the stamps from all the mail I get. These are from South Africa, wow how cool!!

What I Accomplished...

In the sewing group I started almost 1 1/2 years ago , Parma Quilters Anonymous, we started a new year's project. Last year we did a Mercy Border Quilt. Mine is huge! Here is how mine was when finished in November:

So this year we are doing something smaller. We are doing a block exchange. I decided to do the Arrowhead Puzzle Block. I changed it so that in the end there will be two different colored squares. I can't wait to see it. I will make extra blocks each month so that I have more than 12 blocks.

I joined a group on flickr doing a Geese in a Ring Swap. We will make 8 blocks, mail them to the swap organizer, then she will sort and mail them back to the right person. Here are the first two blocks. I love them!!

Here is the block I made for my January partner for Block Swap Adventure. She asked for brights on black background. The colors are more intense in person.  

New list of Goals:

1. Make 6 more Geese in a Ring blocks.

2. Make 2 hexie flowers for my partner.

3. Pick out fabric for Count Your Blessings Quilt Along.*

4. Make 3 #1 blocks for the above quilt.*

If there is more time:

5. Start cutting fabric for Bonnie Hunter's Mystery Quilt Double Delight.*

*Doing as part of Parma Quilters Anonymous.

Goodbye 2011 Hello 2012

I love looking at all the mosaics showing up. I made one of my own. This is most of everything I made. I forgot to take picture for some of it. I will be back later today for Maniac Monday.
