Just a Bunch of Stuff

Wow what a busy time I have had. I have a new calling in my church and it has kept me VERY busy. Also the quilt group I started got together today and tied 5 of the 9 quilts we made for a local home for troubled people. We have until November 11 to get them tied and bound. We will be going early December and handing them in. I can't wait to see all of the kids and adults getting quilts. How fun will that be. 

I have gotten a few fun packages and have not posted anything yet. So here goes..

My September flowers for The Inchy Hexagon Flower Swap. They are so pretty.

Then my October flowers. I love these ones also.

Everybody has wanting to see a better picture of my Tree for Feafs me happy Blog Hop.  I love this block. I had so much fun cutting out all the leaves and playing with the placement. After things get back to "normal" around here I will quilt this and make it into a wall hanging. Below is a close up.

These following blocks are for Let's Bee Together. It was a really fun way to make these blocks. She is going to square them up after we send them to her. 

This block is for my partner for Block Swap Adventure. She asked for any star block in red, white, and blue. This was a fun block to make. I hope she likes it. 

I hope you all have a great day. I am still working on all those wonderful comments!!

Maniac Monday

Another Monday come and gone and I am just now getting to posting. It is ok. I have a lot on my plate right now.

These are flowers that I sent off to my September partner for The Inchy Hexagon Flower Swap. I hope that she likes them. She asked for pastels and I thought these colors looked good together. 

I am part of a Quilt Along making mini quilts out of this book Simply Charming Mini's. This is the first mini we were to make. I have not finished it yet but I will soon. It is only 13" X 13" very small. I love it!!

So I am just going to jump in with the old list from September and the new list from October.

Leafs me happy Blog Hop

Hello everybody. I hope everybody has been having fun during this blog hop. I am LOVING IT!! I have been having trouble with my Internet all weekend so everything I am doing including posting right now I am doing from my iPhone. You know if one piece of technology will not work try another piece! LOL!

So here we are at the beginning of a new week. Don't forget to hop over to all of the other blogs involved today!! Here are the names:

I am sorry but I am not able to add links from here, or at lease I do not know how to do it. Don't forget if you go to www.cherryblossomsquiltingstudio.comand click on her side bar you will find the schedule and links to these blogs. 

I knew as soon as I saw the above picture advertising the hop I wanted to do exactly that picture with my own spin on it. I love fall and falling leaves so it is a perfect fit. I went to a LQS and found a piece of fall fabric covered in leaves. I took a piece of Heat and Bond and ironed it on the back. Then I sat and cut out individual leaves. It took a while. I freehand drew a tree trunk and ironed it to the fabric block. Then I ironed all the leaves where I wanted them. At the bottom there is a piece of the leaf fabric that I trimmed into a pile.

Here is my my 12.5 inch unfinished block. I call it "LEAF ME IN A PILE". 

I wish I had time to finish the block but my son and his wife moved in this weekend. No rest for the mommy! So maybe sometime this week I will get to it. 

I also have a giveaway. I have a stack of 5 inch squares made up out of my fall stash fabric. I have no picture to show you right now and it is hard to enter a give away when you have no idea what you are entering for. But you will like it and I will add a few extras. I am hoping to have my Internet up tomorrow or the next day so as soon as posting is easier for me I will post pictures. If you want to be entered into the give away post a comment telling me which piece of technology is your favorite. Is it your cell phone, tv, computer, ATM machine? For an extra entry post a second comment telling me you are a new or existing follower. 

Thank you for stopping by and go play in the leaves, have some apple cider and hug a kid.
