1st Saturday Club Block

We have started a new set of blocks 
for the 1st Saturday Club. Suze, the shop
owner has made the 2012 Quilt on EQ7 .
The pattern looks great.  We had a sneek peek.
 This is the January block. I think it is going to be
a scrappy quilt too. We have added some new quilters
and will be trying some new ideas as well.

A Few New Things

Hope to blog a little more this year and not

 be a slacker  as I was in 2011. Thats the plan anyway.

So here are a few things Ive been working on

so far in the new year.

               Mocha Coaster Set

  

I made a few sets of these one

 to give away and one set for me.
        It's a quick pattern to make, got a set in retro

         colors on the cutting table too.



Started putting my Hexi's together.
Happy with the progress so far.

 Pillows I made for my 2nd grade reading class
 They love to lay on the floor with a good book.

My Origami Tree

Here is my little origami tree. Sue Borgas did a tutorial for this on her blog back in May.
 I  have wanted to make it since I first saw it.  Thank you Sue , it was easy to follow and
so was fun to make . I am happy with how it turned out. I did the hand sewing while watching
Christmas movies on TV.   I was surprised how quickly it went together.  I would like to keep it for myself ,but it is a gift for the wonderful teacher I am working with this year.
When I have time I will make another.

Some Christmas Gifts

So happy to get these gifts done . A few trees done from the
Quick Quilt magazine... Best make in a night projects. 
They are so quick to make, got one done in an afternoon.
Used my wonder ruler so the 1/2 sq. were really a snap to make.
They can be used as a wall hanging or as a table runner.

Yet another giveaway.
