Day 2 of my Paintbox Quilt Challenge

4 more done - spring green and yellow green

New Paintbox Quilt Challenge for me



I decided I wanted to try Elizabeth Hartman's Paintbox quilt. I've always wanted a quilt that showcased all the colors in the color wheel. This is fun. These are my chartreuse blocks.

If you want to try this with me, the pattern is available as a tutorial on her blog "Oh, Fransson!" or www.ohfransson.com/2008/10/how-to-make-paintbox-blocks.html

Sew Tweet arriving soon!

I'm totally excited about receiving my new block of the month pattern from Chitter Chatter Designs. Cory Blunt designs incredible applique quilts. She designed this pattern as a calendar for 2012 so we can make one block each month. The calendar is full of helpful tips, and guidelines so that you can finish it up by the end of the year. If you want one of these go to her website at www.chitterchatterdesigns.com.

I just signed up with Stitchin Heaven to make this quilt. I hope I haven't gone overboard. I'll post progress pictures. Making that committment should help with actually doing the work. I am excited about it.

Another gift finished


I designed this quilt to showcase my granddaughter Ella's handprints, thus the abundance of letter E's. The handprints were embellished by her talented mother, Yvette Jones, of Studio Y Design. Yvette is collaborating with me on some new quilt ideas.  Look for them after the first of the year.

Yes that's really ice

They are so perfect they must be plastic but a close look showed the water dripping off as the ice melts. They must make these fresh every day. Kudos to The Shops at Riverwoods.
