Popsicle

It was free choice month for Another Year of Schnibbles.


At first, I found that exciting - there are so many wonderful Schnibbles patterns I've not yet tried and I've the charm pack stash.  However, I was in the midst of my queen size Schnibble of the Lincoln pattern.  There was no way I was going to finish that in July so that wouldn't quality.  As the month went by and I hadn't made my choice, I decided to make a mini Schnibble using one of my favorite blocks so far.



I call this mini Popsicle.  It is the card trick block from Schnibbles Doc and using charms from My Sister & Me.




I am looking forward to the parade and glad our AYOS hosts Sinta and Sherri make the choice for August. (smile)

Tetris Block Two

Block two of the Tetris Quilt-a-long from Happy Quilting.   Here is my block 2 - my daughter (13 7/8 years old) said I left too much white space in block one and stepped up to the challenge this week.  Turned out, it was tougher than she thought!




And now on to something different......

TGIF!!

Been a long week and I am looking forward to an hour or so of quilting tonight.  


First up, 18 more stars for my queen size quilt.  Once done, that gives me 39 of the 41 that I need.  Have no idea why I didn't piece 2 more in my chain piecing frenzy!




Then, week 2 in the Tetris quilt a long.  My daughter solved for this one - all laid out and ready to sew.




Have a great day and a good weekend!


Happy Stitching!
