GUILD_2015_MARCH Block

I joined the Centreville Quilt Guild and decided to participate in the monthly block challenge.  What are the rules? My version from what I remember is:  you take the pattern, complete the pattern, bring to the next meeting, your name goes into the raffle, and then near the end of the meeting someone is selected who WINS all the blocks submitted for that month. Could be 1, could be 50.  Why not, right?  Although, Triangles aren't really my thing!  Here's the block for MARCH:



Of course, it's green and white for ST. Patrick's day!!  28 Pieces

BLOCK OF THE MONTH_House Warming Party

Finally completed the 2014 six month BOM called House Warming Party.  I actually completed TWO of these; I gifted one to my mother for Christmas and I am keeping the other.  In February I joined the Centreville Quilt Guild and decided to place this quilt in the 2015 Quilt Show at Chantilly Expo in May.  It's not a judged event, but will be displayed with other quilts from the guild.  More pics to follow during the event.  It's a happy little lap quilt!  Below are the unofficial show pictures.

PLAYFUL_Happy Birthday Quilt



It's a SNOW SEW DAY, so thought I would share a recent project.

First, I would like to mention that there is no lounging on the sun deck today!  It's a bit grey outside for sun bathing. :-)  Also, it's only 24 degrees, so I guess I'll hold off on polar activities for today.


Below is a Happy Birthday quilt that measures ~ 38" x 45.5", was sewn as a sample for Kelly Ann's Quilting Store, and will be on display in the store until all the kits are sold.  Once all the kits are sold I'm bringing it home to cherish.  Come by the shop and see it in person; it's really adorable, or you can purchase one online:


I am thinking this quilt may show up at family birthdays just for fun and so everyone can enjoy it. :-)
