SFF Block

What?!?  Three posts in 3 days?!?  Yeah, this swap business has made for a busy blogging week!

I almost forgot to share this block with all of you.  This is the block I created for the Sew Fresh Fabric Bee.  Posted about here.  This block is called Rosy Posies and was featured in the latest issue of Quiltmaker magazine.  (May/June '11)  I added the green border to make it 12.5 inches. 

Taking part in the FNSI (Friday Night Sew-In) tonight.  It's a cold, windy, rainy, dreary night and I have a pile of quilts that need quilting!  Click the link sometime tomorrow and see what everyone else worked on tonight!  So... I guess that means I'll have to make another post tomorrow!

Sew Fresh Fabrics Scrap Quilting Bee Bundle

It came today!!  My little bundle of scraps from Sew Fresh Fabrics arrived in the mail today.  I signed up to participate in the 2nd round of their bee.  They send me "scraps" (these pieces are a lot bigger than most of the ones in my scrap bin!  These actually would still be in my "regular sized" fabric bin...so sad, I know.) and I make a 12.5 inch unfinished block that I send back to them.  Then they make it into a quilt that gets donated to charity.  This round the charity is the Hopes and Dreams Quilt Challenge for ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease).  You can check out our progress on their Flicker group here.  And I get to keep the any of the leftover fabric.  Which I love by the way. 

I think this bee is such an awesome idea.  It's what I'd call a win-win-win. 

Winning!!
