Craftsy Block of the month

Fabric from Jules Davis- Garden of delights

I just *heart this fabric*

This is January's block - Wonky Pound Sign. There was another one called Asterisk Block but I don't really like the block and might wait till the end and see if I like it more and then make it.

When I am having a terrible day, feeling sleep deprived and grumpy or have awesome news or want to share an idea- friends and of course my wonderful husband make it all better! I have a friend who even though she lives 5,067kms approx ( thanks google) we still manage to speak weekly via phone and keep in contact with fb, skype, email even when we have our own lives and a 5 hour time difference!

I received a package in the post! I love getting post!!!

I felt very productive making 3 Farmers Wife quilt blocks in an afternoon. 16 now complete!

I started a quilt for a friend (who's super talented with making anything with wool) who's baby shower is in a few weeks. I got inspiration from another friend who is making an I spy quilt for her son. Since they haven't found out the gender of baby- gender neutral is what I am doing using fabric I already have and using both boy and girl fabrics and of course plain colours and cream for the back and around the blocks.

Pile of fabrics to choose from

35 4 1/2 inch blocks cut

Pile of fabric cut 2 1/2 inches wide to use for binding and on the back of the quilt

This is my doodle for the quilt (this is how all my quilts start)

All cut and waiting for cream fabric

I am excited to start sewing this baby quilt and pick up my fabric to start The Craftsy Block of the Month this week - check out the link on the right side bar!!
