Design Wall

This week I am working on Five and Dime. 
This is a super easy quilt made with a layer cake and a charm square pack. 
I am finished with the first step and will be sewing into blocks this week. It is super scrappy,
and I think I am just going to randomly put blocks together and then lay them all out. It should go together pretty quickly. Below are 4 blocks ready to be sewn together.

Five and Dime Blocks



I also was the lucky winner of the BOM blocks from Sunshine Guild last night. Here are some of the blocks that I received. This is another easy pattern and will hopefully find some time to put these together and have another finish!

Lot's to keep me busy for the rest of the week! See other Design Walls at

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Sunday Stash Report

This past week I was able to finish Survivor a quilt started in a class with Joyce Weeks at the San Diego Quilt Show in September of 2014. I chose to do mine in cheddar and blue. The original was in pink and blue. I really like the results!

Design Wall Monday


This week finds me in beautiful Mammoth Mountain for some skiing and of course a little sewing! We have finally had a good year of snow, so far, for the Sierra's.

This week I will be finishing up Survivor, a UFO from last year, along with working on Alliatere. I also brought along the first month's blocks for Union Blues, Praire Gathering, and Freedom Rings. Hope to get enough sewing time in this week to make a dent in all these projects.

I also wanted to share the first block completed for Chic Kisses, the class that I took at Road to California Quilt show this past weekend. The pattern is by Sew Kind of Wonderful, class taught by Jenny Pedigo.

Stash Report

After a trip to Road to California Quilt Show on Friday and Saturday, I have many new additions to the stash! Just could not resist all the great fabrics and a few new rulers! 

Sandi and I took a fun class with Jenny Pedigo from Sew Kind of Wonderful, called Chic Kisses. It uses a great curved ruler, and I ended up purchasing the large and small version, along with a couple of great patterns. the fabrics purchased were for Chic Kisses, a quilt for my new granddaughter due anytime now, and a Bonnie Hunter Pattern called Lazy Sunday(one of my UFO's for this year).
