A Florida update!

I've been sewing in Florida and I'm trying to learn how to post to my blog using my Ipad.

Here goes:

Audrey was with us for five days and it was so fun. I have to say she is just a joy to have around. Missing her a lot already. She left Saturday and Mom left today.

I'm working on blocks for a new quilt called Stars Over Fort Sumter by Bonnie Blue Quilts. I cut it all out before I left home.

I need thirteen of this style block:

I have eight finished:

I also made Audrey a sunhat, but forgot to take a photo. I will have to do that when I get home. It turned out really cute.

 

Blog Posting Issues

So no internet access at the condo for the laptop, poor Verizon access for my Ipad equals a long time between post.

After I finished my Geranium Baskets, I work on another Primative Gatherings pattern/kit - Itty Bitty Primative Pinwheels. I won this from Jan Patek Quilts.  It uses the Itty Bitty Pinwheel tool that is just like the others, but only 1 1/2 inch square and cut a block that finishes at ONE INCH.  You need a small rotary cutter (18 mm) to cut them out.

Here is what you get:

The finished mini is ten inches.  I had so much fun that I am going to make another with some fabric I brought along.

Next, I got out my pincushion pattern/kit that I won from Portabello Pixie/Sandi Henderson.

The pattern is a color/glossy print 7" X 9" eighteen page booklet for two sizes.

This the Low Cal Cupcake Pincushion:

This was also a lot of fun to make and I'll be making at least one more.

I also brought along a placemat kit I won from Megan at Fashioned by Meg.

She also has a tutorial on her blog to complete this cute placemat.

I received this last summer I think, but now finally decided that Audrey needs a cute placemat when she comes to visit us here in Florida.

Couldn't get it turned the right directions, sorry.

Thanks again Megan for the great fabric and tutorial.

Started on the quilt I cut out at home and I have two more small projects, so I think I'll keep busy.  My Mom is coming for a week too!!  I'm so excited!
