This and That

I am planning on starting making blocks for the "Hop To It!" book by Edyta Sitar.

My friend Wendy (Inky Threads) has agreed to join in with me, so I thought it would be fun to invite other people to join in too.
I plan on making one block a month starting in June (can you tell I have become addicted to BOM!!). If you have the book and like myself just needed a little push to get started on it, now is the time. Or if you want to buy the book and join in, the blocks are all so beautiful -


The blocks are something I have been seeing all over the web (using all types of applique methods), the quilts other people have been making are stunning.

This is just going to be for fun, with no pressure, just encouragement to make beautiful blocks. I started a Flicker group so people will be able to post their pictures of the blocks when we get started.

June 2011 - block #12 was chosen
July 2011 - block # 9 was chosen

Now speaking of pressure!! If you plan on participating in the Thread Head Quilt Along Challenge, you have just over 2 weeks to get a picture to me!

Needled Mom sent me a picture of her beautiful finished quilt -

She did such a wonderful job! I just love the colours she chose. It was long arm quilted by Mary from Quilt Hollow.

Now there are 2 people who have a chance to win a prize of some of my favorite quilting things!!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
