Last of the Florida sewing

I have two months of FQS Mystery BOM at home not completed, but this one was forwarded to me here in Florida so I completed two of them:


And the only other stitching I've completed are these four Joseph's Coat blocks I stitched in the car on the way down:


I still don't know why I didn't bring more along.  I have about 20 more blocks to applique.

Thank you to Nadine at

The Material Girls Quilts for this wonderful book and adding the fabric as a surprise:


If you read my blog, you know I'm a huge fan of Camille and Bonnie and all of their fabric.  I've made a quilt out of her last three lines.  This book is great.

Go check out The Material Girls Quilts blog and shop.

Thank you to Corrie at Retro Mummy for these 5 fatquarters of Sweet Broderie by Rosalie Quinlan designs by Lecien as a runner up prize on her blog:



Don't they look perfect for that Valentine table runner I want to make when I get home?

Corrie's shop is here.

Cute houses!! I've only completed the first 3 blocks. YIKES!! The next 3 are cut and ready to go but I just haven't found the time to do them. I am behind on all my BOMs. I need one week of quiet to get all caught up! Safe travels home! the weather in the middle of the country doesn't look too good!
