Feb blocks arrive early!

Thanks to Balinda, who sent 3 (yes three!!) of these great blocks. The other 2 were the ones I did. She used a few of her own fabrics, which coordinated wonderfully, and made an extra one!! I love the abstractness and wonkyness of this design.
Balinda chose not to do the final 14.5" cut, which is JUST FINE!! I urge you all that if this seems daunting because you do not have a template this size, just send them as is and I will do the trimming to size.

Thank you :-)

I'm the January Queen

I am really looking forward to being a part of this Quilting Bee. I am a working mother of three. My two girls are 17 and 14 and my son is 9. Since the kids have gotten older I have more time for me.

I used to take out craft projects for them and craft along. Now I knit, quilt, and draw. I have been taking a lot of adult ed classes. I really enjoy designing a project and then seeing the final product.

I live in Maine and spend as much time in the summer as I can up in Acadia National Park. I love hiking, kayaking, and just being out in nature.

Right now I am working as hard as I can to get the final quilt done for a Christmas present. I should be able to do it.

Merry Christmas to all.
