And it was only Thursday!!!

I just wanted to let you all know that my nightgowns didn't get done.  Well, if you got to go sew with you bestest bud, would you choose jammies, or quilty goodness?  I have no remorse.

The day was perfect!!  Well, except for her dog eating the chocolate chip cookies I made!  Good thing Lady is good otherwise, I can understand a weakness for homemade cookies!


I worked on pinwheel blocks.



This one didn't get finished until I got home, I had trouble...



...with an anemic pinwheel.



Anemic , but sweet, and it told me that it wanted to live with Dee.  I hope it tells her that it wants to live in this quilt.   Scrappy wonderfulness!!  See those baby HSTs on the lower left, those are from my scrap bag.  I love that my stuff ends up in Dee's quilt!  I am trying to convince her that those scraps want to come back to live with me!!  She isn't believing me :o(



Here is Dee's...ahem...palette.  Why does it give me thrills to see that some of those are my scraps?  I could stare at that quilt for hours.



She was working in green and blue.



I finished my last 9 star borders!!  My quilt was born at Dee's!



Dee finished the binding.  I tried not to drool on my quilt blocks.



Oh, and I finished this Wednesday.  Free motion practice has become a blanket for Project Linus.  Two layers of flannel, one layer of that cute block fabric, finished off with red satin binding.  Yes, that was March's offering completed on the last day of March.  I hope to do better in April.

Don't for get to click on the Sew & Tell button on my sidebar to visit all the other finishes!

Blessings,

KT
