Sunday Update

My life has been crazy.  I have been extremely busy at work.  New software programs to learn, an audit this coming week to get ready for, and the last few days of school for students.  So I decide it was time for:

May For Me

Sharon at Vroomans Quilts posted about May For Me.  It is about spending "ME TIME" and I really need this.  I used to walk everyday no matter what the weather was.  Over the years I stopped walking but not any more.  I have walked everyday but one since April 27.  Thanks for the motivation  Marcia & Sharon. 

Rainbow Blocks Update

I have finished my "Green" I Spy Quilt except the binding.

 

Here are my "Blue"  D4P blocks.

I am trying to catch up with the other colors of pink, purple and orange for my rainbow quilt.  I do have a problem because this is the only orange and purple scraps I have.  Hopefully before the year is over I can have some more orange and purple to make blocks.

Happy Sewing.

H2H Update and Green Day

As I looked at my schedule for the next few months I realize I don't have time use these blocks for my H2H Happy Chemo Quilt.

I really don't think Sarah or Em is going to care if I send this quilt instead.  I think someone will find comfort in this green and yellow quilt.

The best thing for me is the quilt is done all except a label.  I know I can get that done before the deadline.

I didn't get to sew very much on my RSC13 "Green" challenge this week.  I made one block that is for a block swap and I put the borders on the I Spy quilt.  I plan to have the I Spy quilt finished by the end of April.

I Spy "GREEN"

I looked at this container full of I Spy charms and decided it was time to start using them.  As I went through the charms I pulled out the charms with GREEN in them.

You can see a block with only a green mouse or a solid block of green.  You will find all shades of green but there are 72 less charms in the container.

This I Spy quilt will be given to the hospital gift shop.

Here is the rest of my GREEN D4P blocks.  I have 14 blocks.

These blocks will wait until I have another color to add to them.

I am linking up to RSC13 and see what everyone else has been making that is

GREEN.

ScrapHappy Saturday - Green

I am trying to sew a long with Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2013.  This month's color is

GREEN.

I found these UFO green and yellow blocks in my stash. 

It is no longer a UFO.  It is a flimsy.

It is always a great day when you use the color "green" and finish a UFO.

H2H Update

Here are my blocks for my Happy Chemo Quilt.  Most of these blocks were extra blocks I had.  I am going to add some borders to the blocks.

 

Here is a tasty treat for you to try.   You can find the recipe at Taste of Home.

Happy Sewing Saturday

This quilt is almost finished.  It will be a gift for a very special secretary.  I still need to finish the binding and add the label before the end of April.



I have been working on my KT fabric block swap.  I have 13 blocks to make and I only have 5 more to make.  Here are two of them.

  

I decided I am going to work on making my stash disappear.  I found Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2013 and each month you use a different color for your blocks.  This month is GREEN.  I have 14 four-patch blocks sewn and I will make them into 4-patch disappearing blocks.
Enjoy your Saturday.

H2H Challenge Begins

Hands 2 Help Charity Quilt Challenge 2013 is ready to start.

"What does love look like?

It has the hands to help others.

It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy.

It has eyes to see misery and want.

It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men.

That is what love looks like."

You can sign up at Sarah's Confession of a Fabric Addict.  There are two wonderful charities that you can send a quilt. 


The weather sure doesn't feel like spring in Ohio.  We had snow over night and no school today.  I guess that makes it time to stay inside and quilt.  Here is some of the quilts I have been working on.

This finished prayer  quilt when to a man who is waiting on a kidney transplant.

This quilt will be a secretary gift.  I am working on quilting it.

This quilt will be a graduation gift for a young girl.  It still needs the borders before it can be quilted.

I will be looking for fabric to make my H2H Happy Chemo Quilt.  I hope you will join H2H.

Happy Sewing,
Karen
