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!

Finishes at 10 inches?! That's tiny! Mine would be so wonky!! LOL!! Great finishes, Mary. Love the lo-cal cupcake. :)
Great progress and fun projects!
Hope you enjoy your visit with your Mom! We are having pretty mild weather in SE Florida.
The tiny piecing...awesome! And the wool geranium baskets are so pretty I'm going to have to go find them too. Hope you have good weather along the way.
Oh boy! that is one tiny quilt. It is cute.
Love that cupcake and I am sure Audrey will love her own special placemat.
That little quilt is so darn teensy! But the cupcake pincushion stole my heart!
Hi, Mary. Wow, teensy pieces! Looks great.
How do you win so many things?? Fun things for sure! They look great.
You have been super duper busy. Love all the projects, especially that placemat!
Wow! I love that tiny pinwheel quilt. Your cupcake pincushion is darling, too. I have a pincushion collection. I don't have a cupcake one, so I guess I better get busy and make one.
oh..great projects. I can't believe your quilt is only 10 inches...wow...I'm sure that took a lot of patience. You did a great job. Thanks for posting.
