Block # 9, 10, 11

 

 

Three more blocks done...one more to go!  Next, I have to piece the strips together and add a border.  I probably won't get to work on it again until next weekend.  I'll put the pictures up when I have the top put together.  I 'm still working on the girls' quilts.  They are looking cute...updates soon! 
Have a great last week of November!

Love,

Block # 6, 7, & 8

Here are the next three finished blocks. 

I only have four more to go!

Counting down the days until my Christmas visit!

 

 

 

 

 

Went to Joann Crafts yesterday to buy some red rick rack for the girls' quilts.

 Tell them I will have some pictures up soon! 

They are going to be soooooo cute!

XOXO Miss you guys tons!!!

Love,

P.S. Wasn't the Hallmark movie good last night?! :)

Block # 4 & 5

Well it has been a LONGGGGGGGG time since I've posted anything on here.  School has been busier than I thought, and I haven't been able to sew after school.  I have just been buried in paperwork this year!

So I finally got a chance to sew yesterday and today.  I was able to complete two more blocks in my Christmas quilt. 

 

(Only seven more to go!) 

Block #3

Here is block #3:

 

 

I had some trouble making this block...I had to rip out the stiches THREE TIMES and start over!!  I'm thinking it had to do with me watching 19 Kids and Counting on TLC at the same time...it was hard to concentrate on what I was working on!  Needless to say I finally finished the block and it turned out great.  Here are the three completed blocks together:

 

(Sorry, the lighting isn't very good here.) 

 

Until tomorrow and block #4...

goodnight!

Vintage Holiday Quilt Along

I wanted to join the Vintage Holiday Quilt Along that started at the beginning of August.  However, with the trip to Cape Cod happening at the same time, I knew I wouldn't be able to start until the end of the month.  I still went ahead and ordered the pattern and fabric for the project.  I ended up ordering "Cherry Christmas" by Aneela Hoey.  I started ironing and cutting fabric on Saturday, and then began sewing block # 1 on Sunday. 

Here is block #1:

Tonight I finished block # 2:

 

I'm going to try to make one block each night until I finish all twelve.

 

Wish me luck! (I'm not sure how much I will be able to do next week when school starts!)
