Finished:
100 Quilts for Kids
Nikki Tote for the Sewing Summit - I went with the purple, thanks for the feedback!
Baking - Stay tuned for more on this one soon, but here's a sneak peek!
Angel package for the For the Love of Solids swap - We unfortunately had to work up two angel packages in the swap, but I just wrapped mine up and Megan's close to finishing hers as well. I'm sending this lovely tote and zippy pouch out today!
Still going:
Ryan's guy quilt - This bad boy is getting basted tonight so it will be ready to quilt, but Ryan's been sick the last few days, and home from preschool, so there's been lots of snuggling on the couch and not so much sewing, but I will definitely finish this off before I head to the Sewing Summit - which will be the first time in his entire life that he will be without me overnight. At least he'll be able to have his quilt, hopefully that will help...
Sewing Summit swaps - I am almost finished with these lovely things, but because I want them to be a surprise, I need to keep them under wraps for now...but here's a sneak peek!
Farmer's Wife Quilt-Along - I took this last week off from the quilt-along, but hope to hop back in the saddle...soon-ish...
New:
Pillow Talk swap - I have zero resistance when it comes to this swap. I love quilted pillows and I adore the amount of talent in this swap, so naturally, when round 6 was announced, I was all for it. Here's my mosaic, and I'm starting to sketch some ideas for my partner this week, though I suspect I won't start sewing until after the Sewing Summit...

My first pattern - Now I've received the fabric from my favorite fabric fairy, I'm officially working on my first real quilt pattern. I'm working on writing the instructions this week, and hopefully starting to iron and cut the fabrics before I head out for the Sewing Summit next week. I can't wait to get started on this, I'm really excited about the design, and I can't wait to share it with you all!!!
