Happenings in my world

Well, I wish I could say I am at Quiltcon, but I'm far from it. Interviewing for a new job has been top on my list. But that doesn't mean there hasn't been any sewing going on. I'm binding up an almost finish....

I received some great blocks for the 4x5 bee. I'm just waiting on one to arrive.

From the top #1 is mine, 2: Suzy 3:Lindsey, 4: Cathy, 5: Wendy

I spent a great day sewing with some PMQG buddies. Well, I didn't do any sewing, but I got a hand quilting lesson and did some cutting and cutting and cutting.

I got some crochet lessons from my mother in law and she gave me this little booklet circa 1959. Makes me feel like Betty Draper (without all the gorgeousness! haha!).

And I'm working on this quilt.

and this quilt.

And Tuesday is the next PMQG meeting - YAY!

Doll Quilt Swap Received

I have been participating in the 13th round of the Doll Quilt Swap. I haven't shown much of my quilt because I'm waiting for it to be received first. It has some identifiers on the front that will give it away!

But, I received my happy mail this weekend! This little beauty came from AnnaMichelle:

Isn't it so cute!? I love the way she matched the border with the stars. Very clever! I have the perfect spot over my fabric shelves to hang it!

Here's the back so you can see the fantastic quilting.

And she included some extra goodies which was so sweet of her. And funny because I have recently read the Friday Night Knitting Club series and have been tossing the idea of crocheting or kitting! Now I have the perfect excuse to try. If you have a great beginner pattern or tutorial you like, please let me know!

Thank you so much Anna! I love it all.
