Shop Update

I've updated my shop with some lovelies.  Just in time for the holidays.

I do hope you've had a great start to you week.

Wet Weekend

Happy Monday! Also, Happy Veteran's day to those in the U.S. I've been thinking today about those who have served and those who continue to serve and protect our freedom in the U.S. I heard this great story on NPR this morning about a man who founded an organization, Purple Hearts Reunited, which works to reunite veterans with their purple hearts that were either lost or stolen. A feel good story indeed. 

How was your weekend? Ours was wet and windy. Winter is on its way! Sadly, I didn't get many photos due to there being no sun. But I did snap a couple.

The mess on my cutting mat. I do love cutting up small bits of sweet prints.  Ooh, how I love Scrumptious by Bonnie and Camille! You'll see some of it peeking out in the picture above. It's what sweet quilt dreams are made of. ;)

I finished block 4 of Donna's quilt-a-along.  I love a good Churn Dash block! I'm having such fun stitching these up. There's still time to join!

Hope you have a wonderful week!

Sunday

What a pretty day it was today.  After the blustery, and rainy Friday and Saturday, it was definitely colder today but the sun was out.  Tex took advantage of a sunny window. 

I've been working on my quilt blocks for Donna's quilt-a-long. Today was a nice day to hang them on the line for a photo!

The block on the left is week one's block, the center is week 2 and the right is week 3. I'm having such fun stitching these up!

I have been working on these 16 patch blocks for several weeks, but I wasn't sure what to do with them. As of today I had 25 so I decided to sew them all together for a square, baby sized quilt.  I squared them up to 8 inches each, and then sewed them together 5 by 5.

The boys wanted outside today. I let them about for about 5 minutes to explore.

If Harry had his way, he'd be out all the time!

I hope you enjoyed your weekend too! What are you working on lately?
