finally done!

I've been working away on Shawn's row for awhile but progress has been slow with everything else that's going on in life. Well now I can officially call it done and get it in the mail to her so she can see all her beautiful rows. Her theme was fairies and dragons and since she all ready had lots of fairies I thought what she really needed was a baby dragon-that way her quilt will never run out of dragons! Mama dragon laid a whole passel of eggs and one little dragon is well on his way out of the shell!

Row Robin flies home...

I got my row by row round robin back the other day and have been dying to get pictures so I can show it off.

I intend to separate the rows and mix them up like a jigsaw puzzle so I told the other ladies in the swap that any size of block was fine and it didn't have to add up to 48 inches exactly. Then they just basted the rows together so they'd be easy to separate.

Aren't they gorgeous....drool...lol-I'm so glad they're mine!



There are my leftover scraps from the fabric I sent along and also some bits that I bought while my rows were traveling around getting all pretty. I'm planning to make some more stars to make the quilt bigger-I'd like to end up with a large lap or full sized quilt.

Broken Heart

I've not been a very productive quilter the last couple weeks but finally I've got something to show you.

This Broken Heart block is for Margaret-one of the August birthday girls in the birthday block swap.

This little block just didn't want to go together for me- I ripped and sewed, ripped and sewed and finally got it right. Lol-but I don't think I'll be making another one anytime soon!

I've also been working a little on Shawn's rows for the row robin swap and hope to have them finished this week so they can go home to here-I'm sure she's anxiously awaiting them!
