67 days since I started

50 Quilt Blocks in 67 days!  I'm a little behind.  Since the challenge was 100 Quilt Blocks, 100 days!  I may not make it.  When I sew each block, it is just that.  But when they're all laid out, then I get really excited.  Each block measure 6.5" X 6.5".  Not big!!  I will have to make extra and/or decide how I want to put them together.

Latest projects

 Well, I'm working on several things.  I went thru my stash before leaving Arizona and brought with me a bunch of blue fabric.  I want to make an all blue quilt.  Found a book called Tula Pink's City Sampler 100 Modern quilt Blocks.  Not sure what I was thinking. LOL. So far I've made 25 block.  They measure 6.5".  It's gonna take a lot of blocks.


Had to take a little break from making quilt blocks.  So I started a pattern by Ann Wood , called Dastardley Owl.  Went out and thrifted some fabrics and had at it.




I'm having fun with this pattern.  Made a few adjustments.  Added a belly gusset and more fabric around the face.  Last thing to do are the feet.  I will post another pic, when he's all finished.

Life continues on

 We've been back in Nebraska for about 6 weeks!  It was nice not to have set up anything.  I started with an on-line lesson with Henrick Drescher, hosted by Carla Sonheim.  The class was amazing and very freeing and I will use some of the techniques I learned in the future.  I posted many pics on both my Instagram and FB page. 




This was one of those classes, that keeps you inspired for a long time.  I need to figure out how to make some prints from some of my spreads.  I currently have three books in the works.

This week I started a quilt project.  Before we left Tucson I pulled a bunch of blue material together.  I'm using that to make a quilt.  The squares are 6.5" X 6.5" and I'm using Tula Pinks book called 100 Modern Quilt blocks.  My plan is to make each one.  

I'm not making any promises.  So we shall see.  Picture  below:
Ok, that's it for today.  Hope everyone is well!
