Playing Catch up!

Oy vey! ... where does the time go?! We did get to enjoy our family a wee bit ... But now that  Youngest 2 kiddo's back to school, and i'm not gonna lie, we survived the worst summer EVER! -- i want to thank you all for your patience and kindness while my 'old man' was recouping ~ Over the last few weeks i have finally been able to carve out some time for sewing therapy ... and have FINALLY gotten the pictures downloaded & uploaded ... etc.

Just wanted to share with you what happily keeps me up at night!

Jessica's Block for Nikki

Here it is (finally).  This is the block I made for Nikki for this month's bee.  I started by using this pattern I found online.  I then used this tutorial to create the circle frame.  Don't be afraid, it's way easier than it looks!

sneak peek ...

Quilt of Valor... ( i believe i'll make another! )

Nikki's Block ...

(ok, i had it on my design wall with that stripe Jaimie used, 

considered keeping it in for unity, debated using the "Scooby doo"

.. but liked the way the funky flowers on brown 
plays with other "flowers" ...

this is my favorite combo, because i really wanted to use Hushabye! ) ...

I had fun playing with the ONE block

... crazy sense of freedom when it's ONE block & not a whole quilt! 

In addition, even though it's not for our block exchange

- i want to share this block for another group quilt project

(it's a bit blurry, i was tired and thought it was my eyes ... ;0)
~ but i guess not, 

Life has been to crazy to go take and upload another photo ...

my next phone will take amazing pictures!

~ let's just pretend i meant to photograph it blurry
to give it an element of mystery! ~

ta ta for now - Ciao!

~ more later!
