Stripping...(not the pole kind - lol!)

I've had the Spring Fever jellyroll staring at me for some time now.  So, I went ahead and busted it open.  I was so excited, I forgot to take a picture of it.  Anyhoo, I made this cute little quilt top.  It measures approx. 40x59. The colors just sing 'SPRING IS COMING!!!'.

ps...let me just say - 'IF' there was a pole, I would have snapped that sucker in half. LOL!

Bar Harbor Scrap Bag...

So, here I am working on my scrap bag.  I want to make the recipe (Scrap Bag Baby) that's on the Moda Bake Shop but at the same time I want to use all the strips that are in my bag.  I'm lovin' the red, white & blue!  And pictured above is what I sewed, it measures approx. 31x72 - not including borders.  Not the typical baby sized quilt.  So my problem is - I need more fabric (TRA-GE-DEY!!!).  Instead of just jumping at the chance to do some fabric shopping, I'm just going to let this piece sit, while I think about how I want to do the border.  So while that's on hold, I went ahead and started a new project...

SPRING FEVER! I'll keep you posted...Have a WONDERFUL week!

Where did March go? & a CGGQC Tag

After we got back from Biloxi, it has been non-stop!  To tell you the truth, it's all been a blur...LOL!  But I do remember, we had a very fun visit.  We had so much fun, I didn't even take out my camera.  I didn't take any pictures of the 2 quilts.  I'll just do it the next time we go visit.

Well, I haven't sewed anything for about 2 weeks...weird.  So last night, I went ahead and picked the Bar Harbor scrap bag and started trimming the strips.  I'm going to work on the Scrap Bag Baby recipe on the Moda Bake Shop.  I've wanted to make this ever since it was posted.  It's also a small project so I shouldn't have a problem getting it done.

CGGQC Tag...

Kelly has tagged us & we either have to share a joke or a funny story.  I have 2 kiddie jokes:
1. Why was 6 afraid of 7?     Because 7 ate 9! FUNNY!!!! EIGHT / ATE ?!?!?!( I love that one.)
2. How do you make a tissue dance?     You put a little boggie in it! I'm giggling...but I think it's because I'm tired.

I have a lot of catching up to do.  I look forward to this weekend so I can see what everyone has been up too.  Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!  Talk to y'all later...

The WINNER is...

Congratulations! Please email me your snail mail so I can get you your prize!

ps...sorry there is no picture but I just don't have the energy.

The Big Blue Bouquet is done.

I'm excited to say that - I'M DONE.  I have to keep this short because now I have to wrap presents & pack for our trip.  I won't be taking my computer because I don't want any distractions while I spend time with my mom & sister.  So I'll just have to wait to see what everyone is up to when I get back.

Hope everyone has a wonderful rest of the week & weekend!!!
