Sprinting to a Spring Finish

It's into the final week of Jacquie's challenge. Things look promising here!

I finished the secret Borders on Monday. {no pics because they're secret!!}


This is my placemat done with selvages. This one is a birthday present for a niece.



Not a fabulous shot, but this is my daughter's Butterfly Sunshine. I have some quilting and handstitching to do around the butterfly. Then a hanging sleeve and label to make.



One more string block to go. Then I will have 5 months done! This quilt is practically making itself! :-)



I have the rest of the carrots cut out.


My Eat With Joy! Placemat pattern is soooo close to ready. I'm fiddling and rereading and might even make one more set before I list it. Just to make sure everything I've written makes sense {and four placemats!}




I'm already starting to get ready for June's list. Mystery basket blocks, Block Lotto blocks, Sew Modern Bee block and more UFOs to finish. And maybe a Selvage Coaster tutorial!



With Joy,

Design Wall Monday

Congrats to HAPPY in INDONESIA!!

THANKS FOR VISITING. THANKS SEW,MAMA,SEW.

DESIGN WALL Monday

Two design walls on the go this week. My regular design wall has these strip blocks ready to make a birthday placemat for a niece. The plan is to make it look like a butterfly. I'm also using my bi-fold closet doors so I can take pictures of my flying geese borders. Who knew a queen size bed was so long?! More of these to go. I had to go get more thread this weekend to keep going. I'm sewing them together in pairs then making the lengths required. Check out the other design walls linked at Judy's blog.
