Yesterday's work

I have a trade in my Sew good Friends Yahoo group. A set of 4 coasters. I worked on these yesterday. When I was cutting them out I don't know what I was thinking I cut 24 out. I only needed 8. The rest will be finished and go into the Christmas gift box.
I did the bindings while siting with a lady yesterday. It's like going a large quilt with lot's of corners.
I still have 9 yours & mine blocks to do.

3 more and counting

Not much sewing today. I am going to the quilt shop and do a few errands and then to a quilt meeting.
I did get these 3 done this morning.

Here's another 6 Yours mine

Here's six more of the blocks finished I am 1/2 way there with my block I have done. 12 more to go! I do have my block posted on the blog. You will have to go back aways to find it. I made it to see how the block would go together when we started this trade.I will not have as much time to sew tomorrow . I have a quilt meeting the 1st Tue. of the month in O'Neil at 7:00 PM. I like to go so I can get to the quilt shop before they close at 5:30. Then I have a $1.00 DCB at Mc Donald's. Big spender that I am!!
Huskerbabie no there is not a JC Penny's. Just a catalog order and pick up desk .
I don't think I would get in another trade with 25 blocks. 12 aren't bad but 25 go on for ever.

Yours - Mine

Here are the first 5 blocks of my trade at the Quilters Candy Store in O'Neil , Nebraska. There are 25 ladies in the trade.Your use their fabric and your block pattern and make one for everyone in the trade. Only 20 more to go!
It is interesting how they all turn out. I will be glad to get these done. We traded a year ago and will be giving them back in Feb. I have found I don't like trades that take that long . I like them to be shorter in time and get them done.

Hearts finaly done!

I made 13 of these for a trade in Quilted With Love Yahoo group. They said think spring and you could do what ever you liked.

So now it's time to work on the 25 blocks for the Quilters Candy Shop in O'Neil. they organized a trade called Your Fabric my block. We all choose one block pattern and will make all of the 25 the same block but with their different fabrics. I have them cut out and marked so now on to the sewing machine!

Candy tin trade

I have a new trade in one of my yahoo groups Fiber Art Traders. Decorated candy tins with a heart theme. I found some cookie tins(close enough) on sale in the Christmas clearance for 50 cents each. Altoids's are $2.00 or more so I went with cookie tins. The tins came with a large chocolate chip cookie in it. Don was more than happy to take the cookies off of my hands.I went into my card program and found a image I liked and made a fabric printer sheet out of W on W fabric and printed them off. I did some stitching around the hearts And layered the felt to give some dimension. I also lined the inside of the lid and tin.

Happy New Year!!!!!!
