The Round Robin has begun

I got a block from Krisha already, and I'm doing my round around her block, then I will send it to Trish, along with my own round robin starting block.


Here is my question:  should I send a picture of Krisha's quilt to her after I finish my round, or will it be a complete surprise when we get them back?  Or should we post pictures on here or facebook as we go?  Everybody, chime in and let your opinions be known.

Honey Comb Quilt

I made this quilt over the weekend for the shop in Zanesville as a shop sample.  I'm going to beg Martha to let me keep it after the kits are all sold, because I absolutely love it.  If she says no, I'll have to buy one of the kits and make another one for myself.  There is a lot of Applique in this quilt.  So, I don't really want to make it again, but I will if I "have" to. 

Its all about Ohio

I finally completed the quilt for my guest room. I called it "I love Ohio" There are 3 blocks that are Ohio themed. The Ohio Star, Buckeye Beauty and Crossing Ohio. It also has the OSU Block O in the center. You can't tell from this picture, but there are two additional O's that go around that O.

Sewing Day at Kim's

Kim and Joann and I went to the Original Sewing and Quilt Expo in Cleveland on Thursday.  We had a great time together.  Then, we went to Kim's on Friday and sewed the day away.

Here are the things I finished there.  The blue one is a mini quilt that I made as a sample for a class I plan to teach at Touch of Thread.  The buttons aren't attached yet, but Leslie made them out of polymer clay, and they look like they were made for this quilt.

The five blocks are a Block of the Month project I am doing with my quilt guild.  I had the first three finished already, but I completed two more at Kim's, while demonstrating proper piecing techniques to Joann.

Hooray!

I     *FINALLY*   finished my purse for the challenge!   I had a little problem with the lining, so I had put off finishing it for a while.  But, this time, I put it on my priority list, and when I got to it, I forced myself to work on it.  I'm glad it's done!   And, it looks good, so I can't wait till we have a sewing day so we can exchange purses. 

My Bah-throom

This is the bathroom in my shop.  My friend Glenna recently personalized my curtains for me, using blocks that were left over when I made the quilt cover up for the shelves next to the shower.  The main reason I am posting this is because when I go to "work" on Tuesday, I want to show Glenna these pictures. 

Mother/Daughter Sew Day

Today I hosted the first of hopefully many Mother/Daughter Sew Days at my house. It was sew much fun! Candi and Trisha both made a purse from start to finish. Krisha made key fobs that hold a chapstick and a little case for her cellphone. I finally finished my flip flop quilt wallhanging and worked on a winter hat for Candi. (not sewing but I was the host and couldn't get too involved in a big project) (I am not complaining) Here we are with the projects we did!
