Little by Little

I sort of finished a few more things from my sewing table...The 7th block from the FQ shop's Mystery BOM......and I just received the 8th block on Friday so I am still not caught up! Sheesh... I also finished the 2nd quilt top from the Baby Fats book. Yet another top to be quilted. I did sew a binding by machine onto a quilted table runner....I still have to hand sew to the back so it's not done yet. I'm just plugging away at my WIP's little by little....

2 quick items..

As soon as I spotted the Tablerunner on Moda's Bakeshop blog by Camille I had to make one...I happened to have 1 charm pack of Recipe for Friendship and so I laid it out. And I just finished piecing the top tonight. It's now on the to be quilted list.....

I also finished block #6 of the Mystery BOM from the Fat Quarter Shop. I started #7 and just received #8 in the mail today so I need to get going on these.
I have some 'other' fun stuff in the works here...in between everything else.

I'm a Bag Lady....

I was sooooo excited yesterday when I walked out to the mail box to find this inside. It was 8* outside...and felt like -10* so it was a cold walk....but soo worth it. I was the lucky lucky winner of Minick and Simpson's latest Bag Lady giveaway. Not only did I receive this cool re-useable grocery bag...but it was stuffed with a pattern, fat quarters and a charm pack of Flag Day Farm...ah therapy in a bag.......

I rarely hold my attention on one project for very long...so last night I found myself into another new project...but hey I finished 2 WIPs this month so I am allowed! I pulled out my Love is in the Air jelly roll and started the Love and Kisses from the new book Strip-Frenzy by Suzanne McNeill. I hope to have pictures as this progresses in the coming days.
