MCC Update

Every year I make a calendar of the MCC blocks we donate to the sale.  I am in the process of editing the photos for the calendar and I thought you would enjoy seeing a couple of them I haven't posted yet.  This one is for June(if you can't tell!).

For August we did an ocean theme.  All twelve of the blocks are hanging up in the lobby of our church just to get some interest in them.  They are all due March 26 and the sale is April 13 & 14. 

Have a great day and I'll talk to you later!

Sewing Periodic Table

Many of you may not know, but in reality, I am a true science geek!  I have a degree in both Chemistry and Biology.  I don't really know how I ended up a crazy quilter...but I did! 

The other day I ran across a very cute sewing blog that I could relate to so well....she is a microbiologist!  Yes...another science person who has crossed over.  Crossed over to what, I don't know, but I love it!  For those of you very familiar with chemistry, there is a periodic table of elements that lists the of characteristics of all elements known to man.  When she posted this periodic table of sewing elements, well, it just tickled me!

Invitations are out!

Invitations for the Victorian Stitchery Retreat have gone out!  This year we mailed out over 200 invitations, so it took awhile!  Thank you Dixie for your help!  If you don't get one in the next few days and would like one, please let me know.

Now for an MCC update!  Here is the block we did for March....I love the embroidered daffodil in the corner!

Here is December....You may remember the tree tutorial I did in December.  It is in the upper right hand corner of this block.

And here is February...very sweet with all its pink and red.

Talk to you later,

Happy Valentine's Day!

Crazy Quilt Heart Progress

I finished up my crazy quilt heart and I made it in a purse! The heart on the front of the purse is also a pocket. My favorite color is pink, but lately I have been choosing to work in purples and lavendars.

I hand dyed the lace to match my purse and I really do like it! In the next few days I'll give you an MCC crazy quilt update.

MCC Crazy Quilt Update

I received these blocks in the mail today and this is some serious eye candy! The pictures don't even begin to do just to these blocks. As you can probably tell, this is the November block.


Here is the May block and someone may(ha!) have to arm wrestle this one from me!


And then there is July, I totally love the spider! So creative!

I am so blessed to be able to work with such talented crazy quilter's and am so glad they are willing to do their best work to give to charity....
