Join the club

A couple of weeks ago I joined a quilting club at a local quilting store. Yay! It is the Thimbleberries quilting club, in which you get a couple of block every few months to put together and by the end of the year, you have enough blocks to make the quilt. The quilt for this year is called Border Blast.

So far I only have to pieces cut out, but I'll show you what they will look like.

  I have also done a lot more on the baby quilt. I have already put the "blocks" together, so now I'm making them into diamonds. They look really good! I can wait to get it all together.

My sister is doing good too. But I think she may be having twins... or an elephant baby.

Little Baby

A new project I am working on is a baby quilt for my older sister. The pattern I am using is "Floating Blocks" from the book "Glorious Patchwork" by Kaffe Fassett.


The colors are a light lime green (background), yellow, redish-pink, and light blue.

I'm also working on some crocheting. I have found that it reduces stress, which is something I really need to do right now.


The pattern is from Lion Brand Yarn and it is called "Tivoli Beret".
