Some of the quilting. I really don't like shoving the quilt through the machine but since I don't have any other choice at least these little quilts make for good practice.
I also knocked out another Birthday Block...

I Spy Quilt
Well, I actually *finished* a quilt. Yes folks, minor miracles aside, it's true. All that time in the sewing room and I can say I have something to show for it. FINALLY. I started this top what? Two years ago? Not bad in the overall scheme of tops that I have sitting around in a bin waiting to be quilted up. I do have tops dating back a decade now. ::blushes:: Oh well - but nevermind that, lookie what I did! This one is for the kiddlet, it's her I Spy Quilt and I really wanted it to be complete before she outgrew the game. I'm happy to report she hasn't as we played for a good long while today while I was finishing the binding.

Birthday Blocks for others...
So I've been sick and it's been raining and not a whole lot of quilting or any crafting for that matter has been goin on. I did however manage to get into the sewing room today and make a few blocks for a Birthday Block swap I'm in. So here's show and tell...
A wonky house block
And a few scrappy four patch blockade blocks - she wanted them in purples and aquas.

Pin basting the color work quilt
My little heart box of curved pins just waiting for me to pin baste my latest quilt. It's on the machine now and I'm currently just working on some stitch in the ditch. I'd like to do some curves afterwards but I'm not so proficient at free motion quilting. Guess I've got to learn sometime though! I do have some older quilts that I'm not so fond of so I might practice on them first.

Not dead!
Well you'd think I'd fallen off the face of the earth for how often I've posted here lately. I'm not dead - really! Latest bit's and bobs from the sewing room...
Blocks I've received
Looks like I'll only have to re-make three of the blocks and maybe make four more to get the size I want... still not sure of the layout and I've got two other quilts in the works right now too so I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to actually get any further then sticking these up on my wall! lol But after I took down the color quilt it was so barren I really need to put something up there to cheer the place up! Anyway it's kinda fun to see them all together so I thought I'd share. BTW this is not the final placement by a long shot... I just chucked these up there to see them all together and get a first evaluation of them. =)
Made for Cristalskye
It's funny I didn't realize how similar these blocks were till I finished the second one and went... heeeeeeey! I'm slow like that, lol. At least the values are different enough to set them apart.
I also really enjoyed the limited pallet. It was thinking I wouldn't like being so restricted but I actually love the way they turned out and have enjoyed seeing everyone else's blocks for this quilt as well.
Made for Mommy09
Well like everyone else I felt the call of the flower for this spring themed quilt! However I wanted to take a simple modernistic slant... which means she got two out of the deal instead of just one. Heehee. These were fun and easy to make... kinda makes me want to do a whole quilt of them. =)

Can't say
It's not that I haven't been quilting or making stuff, it's just they're Christmas presents so I can't spill the beans yet. Hoping for a good craft night with friends on the 16th of this month to really get some stuff done. Hope everyone had a nice turkey day!

Dear Jane
I met some local ladies on-line (yay Ravlery!) who've started a Dear Jane group. I'm hoping to meet up with them tonight for the first time. Who knows maybe I'll actually get some blocks done!
