bad blogger!!!

I am so bad about posting on my blog. Time just seems to get away from me, with family, work, stitching, and the CQwiki.

Current Crazy Quilting Stitching project is cq ornament swap. The ornaments are 6" tall, I have 6 pieced and 3 1/2 embellished.

One of my Mitten Ornaments

Next CQ project is a crazy quilting round robin. I have never participated in a round robin, so I am very curious to give this a try. I've been in a couple "One Block Swaps", creating a block for someone based on their description of their favorite things. And receiving a block someone created for me based on my favorite things. Both times the experience has been AWESOME!!!

The 2008 One Block Swap was completed on Aug. 30th. I created this block for Lori, her favorite things are "water, ocean, sea, river, blue".  Have to say at first I couldn't think of anything, then my "brain" kicked in:


Ithinksew created this amazing block for me. My favorite things: rich summer colors, dragonflies, altered art


Link to all of the blocks created in the "2008 One Block Swap - Favorite Things" This page is a list of all the participants, each person has a page with pics of the block they created.


Back to my CQ Ornaments!!! Happy Stitching to all. Stay dry - I do hope this rain ends soon.

Your block for Lori is beautiful. I like sea blocks too. There is just something exciting about them. Talia's block to you is very nice too. Now what are your plans for the blocks?

Thank you Kathy. I had fun making Lori's block, when I got into it I almost couldn't stop.

I would like to frame the block Talia made for me. In person it is just beautiful, it does have everything I love. Our house remodel is still going on, not sure we'll be back in it by Christmas!! But when it is finished I will have a 19' by 30' craft room, so plenty of space to display all of my beautiful swap blocks, hearts etc.
