Blocks are complete!

So I just couldn’t help myself and I went ahead and finished all of the blocks yesterday! I think I am going to go ahead with a navy border. I just need to buy more fabric, how sad!

Do you see the little spot of pink hiding on the right hand side? Someone is playing a little hide and seek…

“Found You!” she yelled.

And because Anne loves to take pictures with my camera, her is her picture of my blocks.

So I will be heading to the fabric store today to purchase some Navy to finish this puppy up! So excited!

Curve It Up Challenge Update

I have been trucking along with the Curve It Up Challenge, pattern by Sew Kind of Wonderful. I have all but two blocks done!

Excuse the cell phone picture, but as I write this post it is late at night and the lighting now sucks too much for a real picture.

I am just so happy with how the blocks are turning out. My Fancy Fans and my Drunkards Path blocks are a tad different from the original designs, and I am really happy with how they turned out. I could seriously see a whole quilt made from the fans. I just love that block!

I am hoping to be done with the blocks by Wednesday and then I need to decide if I want to sash or not. So far I’m not leaning in any particular direction, I would like to try and stay within my stash, as so far I haven’t bought anything for this quilt. That may change when I have to back it but for now I haven’t spent a dime on it! Who knew I had so many solid shades of blue in my stash!

Happy Monday and Happy Quilting to Everyone!

Sewing Therapy Tuesday

This weekend and yesterday I took some time for sewing therapy. It is cheaper than the traditional kind of therapy and I can do it in the comfort of my jammies! I worked on blocks 2 and 3 from the Curve It Up Challenge. I have to say I am really enjoying the mental break from designing, though quite soon here I will likely need to take a break from this and start the dreaded Elsa Dress.

I was originally going to do all American Made Brand solids, but I didn’t have enough and I wanted more variety in my blues, greens, grays, so I have gone ahead and added some Konas and Northcotts to the mix.

I am very happy with how it is turning out so far and really looking forward to block 4. Stay tuned for more curvy blocks!

Curve It Up Challenge

I have decided that I need a bit of a mental break. I still want to sew, I just don’t want to have to fuss with math and design and all the jazz that comes with designing patterns. So for the next little bit here I am going to work on the Curve It Up Challenge that Sew Kind of Wonderful is hosting right now.

I picked out some American Made Brand solids that I bought from my LQS this summer and whipped up the first block today. It is a curved version of a Churn Dash block. It measure 16.5″ x 16.5″ and I was able to do it in less than an hour.

So be looking for more of these curvy blocks from me soon!

PS. If I complete this, it will be my first successful QAL (that I didn’t run)!

Lookie Lookie!

This weekend I got a squishy package, a really special squishy, from Jenny at Sew Kind of Wonderful

I won a giveaway from Jenny, a custom purse made in the colors of my choosing! I picked Teal, Purple, White and Gray. You can’t see it in the photo by the lining is a beautiful purple!

(Side note: it is really hard to take a picture of yourself!!!)

I am just so in love with this bag, it is made with Jenny’s Quick Curve Ruler (which I have and can’t wait to do a project with). If you haven’t checked out her website you really should!

What are you up to today? I will be writing a tutorial for the special project I made for Anne last weekend!
