Top is done so I'd consider this a bit over half finished. Will need to piece the backing as I started with a fat quarter bundle and none of them are large enough...decide on what to bind with, and how I want to quilt it. Probably just stippled; it's got a lot of seams! Mail deadline is March 1st, so I'm doing okay!

Boys will be boys!

Why do males constantly feel it's necessary to mark their territory or prove their masculinity or whatever makes otherwise normally sane people attack each other and threaten to drop the other to the ground?!!

A sneak peek at what I'm doing for this round of the doll quilt swap. My partner (who shall remain a secret) indicated she liked contemporary fabrics. These are from the Amy Butler daisy chain line. A border tomorrow then I can decide how I want to quilt it. It was, all in all, a productive weekend.

So I had a rare four day weekend....spent a good deal of it sewing. Had a couple of swaps to get done, and am happy to say, was very successful! This block is for the February recipient of our Bee Crazy Virtual Quilting Bee. March is my month; I need to come up with something soon and start preparing my fabrics to send out. What to do...what to do?!!!

Parker's baby quilt

This is the first baby quilt I've made using flannel. I always wash my baby quilts before I gift them, and it made this one all fuzzy and sooooo cozy.



I hope the recipient likes it as much as I liked making it!



Believe it or not, the pregnancy phenomenon continues at the office....oh, Britt, you should have seen it coming!

I have had the fabrics for Stacey's block for what, six weeks, and was too intimidated to even approach it. Templates? I haven't quilted using a template in 20 years! So I tried it. And failed miserably! Then I converted the center block (the part set on point) into a paper pieced pattern and then, and ONLY then, could I tackle it! All I can say is "Whew! I'm glad that's done!"
