November Blues

http://www.ohfransson.com/files/mod-mosaic-quilt-blocks.pdf   Here is Jacque's

Block Choice for November in the Sew Blues Bee.  Mod Mosaic is a block I can get lost in while making....Hope she likes what I have done.

 http://www.freshlypieced.blogspot.com/2012/01/ribbon-star-block-tutorial.html  The block for Me!!  It's my turn for November and I wanted everyone to make me the "Ribbon Star" with my Hungarian Blue fabrics by Sue Zipkin.

 With the Fab Little Pincushion swap I got all these goodies from  Jeanette...Scrapnchick!!!  I was so hoping that this little pinnie was for me!!!The pin and needle holder is the cutest....you can't quite see but she made it look like a piece of school paper with her stitching...so clever!  I am thrilled to bits!!

Here is my Scrappy Mug Rug Swap gift to send out to my partner....I sure hope she likes it...I added one of my own thrown mugs in the mix.  This was a lot of fun to make.  I used Nydia's "Basketweave Braid Star" pattern to make the trees.  Trees are paper pieced.  I just reduced the size down on my printer.

Tutorial http://www.moosequilts.com/FQ/FQSblock9.pdf  by Jovita's Patchwork Atelier
Such a sweet block to make Letty!!!

Here are Nancy's blocks for September.  She chose Elizabeth Hartman's "Mod Mosaic"

http://www.ohfransson.com/oh_fransson/2012/01/mod-mosaic-tutorials.html .  Her fabrics are so rich and so fun to play with.  These blocks are stunning!! I made an angel block for Nancy too.  Sew fun!!

August SBB Blocks For Mary and Teri

Teri's "Blocked In" by Faith Jones.

My Frist try with Mary's "Bow Tie"

I sewed it together wrong. OOps!

                                   Here we go... I got it right...both were such fun blocks to make!

Just had to make this!!

This is one of many....probably...tea cup quilts that I just had to make!!  The pattern came from Cat in our Sew Blues Bee.  http://www.fvqg.org/09archiv/0409.htm

  It was love at first sight for me.  Here I am using Chez Moi "Fresh Air" by Moda....it's an oldie but goodie!!  I am a Chez Moi Junkie!!

My Swap Partner....Sally

 Here are all the lovely things that Sally made for me in our Orange You Glad swap....that wreath was all hand sewn...I treasure things like that!!  I am a very special girl!!

This was a very special surprise...Pattiann had sent a while back the two outside blocks (a very long story ) and the center block is from Sally....they go together perfectly!!!

My gift for Margaret

In our Orange You Glad Bee....our Grand Finale was to make something for one person out of scraps from another....well Shawn sent me this....


So My mind went a bit crazy for a while trying to think up something to do....I have always loved the "Circle Of  Geese".....so here is what I came up with...

The top side of my Mini is the flying geese....all nice and proper (I made a book cover too....with my favorite book "The unexpected Mrs. Polifax" by Dorothy Gilman)

The back of the mini is all wonky and care free....so depending on how Margaret is feeling that day she can have either side facing out.

Had to add a little "bling" just for fun.

July Bee's

For Miss Mary in our Orange You Glad Bee....She had us make her version of the "Rolling Stones"....she even made up her own tutorial...here is the link...
