Want to Join Me?

I discovered the Countdown To Christmas BOM on the Moda Bake Shop too late for 2018.

I love the idea and loved the blocks so I approached some friends to see if they would be interested to do this with me by making 2-3 blocks per month. 

We could have our quilt done by Christmas 2019.  

They said YES!  

So we are choosing fabric and starting to make our blocks.  

You can find the blocks on the Moda Bake Shop website.  

You can find the start of the blocks here.  

I am making mine in aquas and whites.  

Here are the first two blocks.  

You can find block one here.

I did not have any trouble with this block.  It was pretty straight forward.

You can find block 2 here.  This block was a little challenging.  There are Y seams involved.

We are using the #mamasparkCTCsewalong on social media, if you want to post your blocks.

I would LOVE to have you join in the fun!

There are 6" and 12" blocks in the patterns.

I am making the 12" blocks for now.

I will probably want to add a few more to make the quilt larger.

There was a CDTC 2017 that has some cute blocks so I may be adding some of those too.

I hope you can join us. 

Wouldn't it be fun to have a quilt for yourself or a friend by Christmas this year?

If you sew along with us you should be able to do that!

I will set up a link up and you can post your blocks in that next month.

A Little Birdie Told Me and Giveaway

A little birdie told me that Little Miss Shabby is beginning a BOM that looks like it is going to be adorable!! I put her button on my side bar. Go on over to her blog and see what the scoop is. I love the little "peek" she is showing of it. She is using the Sun Kissed line but I think I may use a different line. Anyone out there want to join in and play with us??

I really need to get off this computer and do some wrapping. The furnace guys showed up and have currently taken out our old furnace and are now putting in a new, energy efficient furnace. It's a little chilly in here for the time being. I have loads of bins in my living room from the basement. Now my LR looks like the basement! LOL.

A great little giveaway is going on over at retromummy's blog of some luscious fabric. Go take a look!

Remember that I won a darling gingerbread apron? The other day, my DS was trying to pour hot soup from a big container into a Thermos without splashing on his good work clothes. I told him he needed to put an apron on and guess what he grabbed? You got it.

With that, I leave you and I'm off to do some wrapping. This will tell me where the gift holes are. Hopefully there are none! DS's birthday is the day after Christmas too so have to save out some stuff for his bday. Have a wonderful day.
