Swaps, blocks, bees and challenges

I think I am officially addicted to Flicker and of course, I can't help but want to join in a new bee, swap or challenge. So just a round up of the latest one you can also jump in if you wish.

If you have some UFOs piling up in your sewing room and want to get motivated to pick them up, why not join the Lazy Bums where we will play game starting with a bingo card to pick which UFO to work on each month. There will even be a duelling apparently. We are a small group so far so I believe there is still place to play. Check out May's blog for more details.

Have you seen the Polaroid pictures that everyone seem to be in at the moment. Well, if you want to join the fun, there is a swap currently running on Flicker with a mailing date of 15 August. Go and check A Polaroid block swap. I have started to make a few with some fabric I had in my stash and they come together quickly if you chain-piece.

Of course, the Super Mario quilt along is on now. Angela has just posted the first block (Super Mario) with very detailed instructions. I received my fabric for the quilt earlier this week so as soon as I have finished my overdue Basket Weave blocks, I'll start cutting my tiny little squares.

If you are feeling "graphic" and are in love with all the black and white fabrics out at the moment (think Makower), then maybe you want to join the Bee White Black, starting Round 2 soon.

Well maybe it is enough for me for now.... I better get sewing soon.

    Ha! I stay away from Flickr as much as possible except for my own page. Very dangerous place. I have enough on my To Make list already. It will be very interesting to see what you come up with.

    Hi, I am in the Lazy Bum group also and am looking at everyone's blogs. I wanted to join your blog, but can't find anywhere to join. Am I overlooking it? I enjoyed reading and looking at everything. Thanks for the fun!

    I know joining can be addicting but I find flickr and all the virtual friends and inspiration pretty darn entertaining! Thanks for the links.

September in the Hexagon!

Welcome to my stop on the Hexie Blog Hop Be a Hexie Queen ! I am a hexie lover and always have an emergency supply of hexies in my bag for when I am on-the-go (which is actually very often) and when I first signed up for the blog hop, I thought I would show you a EPP (English Paper Piecing) hexie project. That was until I remembered a long forgotten UFO that was laying in a plastic bag in my cupboard. I thought it would be the perfect occasion to get the dist and cobwebs out (no it wasn't that bad really) and give it a new lease of life! It all started with a few scrap strips and ended with a few more strips! I ordered and received a scrap bag of Moda fabric a few years back and I received a pack of off-cuts of Migration by Holly Taylor. I wasn't sure what to do with it until I saw this Hexagon quilt-along on Julie of Jaybird Quilts ' blog that I know I wanted to join in, it was all about hexagons! And although there were machine-pieced, there was no horrible Y

Blog hop and a giveaway

Welcome to my blog if you are new here and found me from the Quilting Gallery website and welcome back if you are a regular reader. I have written a blog for over 2 years now but started quilting about 10 years ago, mainly self-taught. I love fabric and my stash is probably too big for my needs, but can a girl really have TOO MUCH fabric? I don't think so! Michele at the Quilting Gallery is organising a blog hop for the 4th anniversary of her site . If you don't know the quilting gallery yet, you need to hop over there and have a look around, there is plenty to browse at. Every week, there is a themed-contest. Everyone can enter their quilts and everyone can vote on the entries. Well worth having a look at, you can even enter your quilts if they fit the theme. I have entered a few times in the past, but never won! From September until December, 36 designers shared a Christmas block for free in the " Celebrate Christmas Quilt-along ", you can still collect the pat

Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along

Image
  Yes I know, another new project... but (!) this one is all about using my scraps, what's not to love. And the instructions come in German for the  Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along .  The first 3 blocks are made of rectangles and I used only scraps to make those (I can't really say I have made a dent in my scrap basket either actually...) I picked green as the focus colour for the blocks since this is the January colour for the Rainbow Scraps Challenge organised by Angela I joined the challenge years ago but hadn't participated in recent times. Of course it would be tempting to start yet another project but I think using my scraps for this quilt along in the set colour of the month is a safer plan.
