Snow Much Love & A Giveaway!

Pin It Now! Hello Everyone!
Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Here in Canada it is a long weekend for Family Day tomorrow (Monday).

Random Project!
Well I was looking at the calendar and realized in shock that it was almost my "nephew's" 1st birthday -March 3. I say nephew but he is actually my best friends little boy, we are not related but I was there when he was born so therefore we go with nephew :) Any-who... Here is a little sneak peak of what I am making him. I was fortunate enough to find a jelly roll at Walmart of all places, and it was on clearance so it was a super sweet deal! It is paired here with Kona Snow. I am hoping to baste and quilt it by next Wednesday which gives me a couple days to do the binding!






 I also wanted to show you were I was piecing this all yesterday:






That's right. Cross legged on the floor. My lovely husband needed our kitchen table for a project he was working on. So it was either the floor or not sewing at all. Unfortunately we do not yet have another table I could use. Needless to say my back was kind of sore this morning, and I had to take frequent breaks!!
Hopefully I get my kitchen table back soon!

Aurifil BOM
Super Excited that I finished stitching the February BOM from Aurifil! It was soooo much fun to do as it is such a cute piece. This piece was designed by Sherri Falls and the link to the block is below

She also has posted the cutest finishing instructions if you want it as just a wall hanging here on her blog for Valentines day:

Omigosh:
I have officially finished piecing and ironing all my teeny weeny four- patches! I am currently piecing all my half square triangles back into squares (print/white). I also cut up all my 2" squares into triangles which will soon be framing my four patches! Just keep plodding along and it will all get done....


All 575 of my teeny weeny four-patches!
My 2 3/8" half square triangles awaiting to be pieced. I have finished about half of one bag so far. 


Dear Jane:
 Slowly working away at Dear Jane. Not much progress done in the last 2 weeks but I only have 1 more block and my first 3 triangles to do before March 4. So not too bad! Most of my last few blocks worked out to be reds which was entertaining for Valentines day.

  2. Love the fabrics in the baby quilt - gorgeous! And as far as sewing on the floor-well, we do what we have to do, don't we - LOLOL! (Although I don't think I'd have been able to get back up-haha). All those itty bitty 4-patches - what a feat!

  8. Hello, this is a very clever needlebook. I love everything to do with hexagons!! I am working on a queen size quilt with the 3/4 " size hexagons and double flowers. It is taking forever, but will be worth it in the end. Like to see what you are working on. My favorite colors are yellow & green. Thanks
