Botanical Album Sew Along - Month 3

Month 3 - Mountain Laurel - Red

Mountain Laurel - Red (D1)

Where on earth did December 2015 go?  You might be wondering what happened to Month 2! Well, let's just say I have misplaced the craft box that holds my enlarged month 2 pattern and all my cut outs; I've searched high and low..(sigh).  So... for month 2 I'll have to go get my page re-enlarged at Staples and start that one over. 

 

In that same box was this month's cut outs, but luckily not the pattern!  The good news is that I managed to get this month's block done this weekend.  The not so great news is that I was in a hurry and I actually did this block BACKWARD.  I didn't panic - after a few deep breaths that is. Those that have done this one know there are many pieces. I decided to just go with it and slightly modify what I had; I tried to get it as close as possible. I figured it's December, I should really be focused on family and the reason for the season so I wasn't going to give up or worry about the quilt police with this one.  I'll call this my persistence block - ho ho ho....

 

There's still time to purchase your pattern through the quilt museum and join the sew along journey with everyone...

I hear the VA Quilt Museum is just a few members shy of 500 for the year!  Consider becoming a member with a small donation and keep this historic building going and keep quilting alive.

Until Next Month's Block...

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year!

Candle of Peace

Quick note:  I just wanted to share the block I made for my local quilt guild.  It's called the Candle Of Peace.  May everyone have peace in your heart this holiday season and throughout the new year.

It's a Glade Commercial, but this song is in my playlist and it brings a smile to my face every time I play it! ENJOY!!  (...Fill the air with joyful noise, ring the bell and raise your voice, let there be peace on earth....)

Tuffet101 | Nov 3

There are 4 more Tuffet-teers in the Northern VA area!  Kelly Ann's Quilting in Warrenton, VA hosted this class and they ladies were truly delightful.

Below is a quick little video and some pics from this class.





As always, I can't explain the joy and excitement felt when a student works so hard to complete one of these Tuffets.  It's fun, easy once you have the instruction, and truly one of a kind.

 

Have a happy day!
Lisa
