Chunky Dunk Quilts

So...life continues to through wrenches in my neck of the woods. Nothing major, thank goodness, but enough to mess up my plans of sitting at my sewing machine and tuning out everything around me. This is near to impossible to achieve seeing as my sewing room is in my kitchen, er, is my kitchen table, and I have 4 kids!!!

This block I made for HandyCrafts of the Live Piecefully Virtual Quilting Bee! Due way back in March (SORRY Sara). I was actually intimidated by the Dresden Plate...as it turns out...way easier than expected! Live Piecefully is actually done now...I'm looking forward to seeing what the completed quilts look like...which means...I need to put together MINE!!!

This is the April block for Renaissance Rubia of the MishMash StashBash Bee. She sent out a few scraps of coordinating fabrics and we were asked to make a wonky block with our stash. I thinked it turned out great! I love scrappy, still not sure how I feel about wonky?!?!? I have a thing, I guess, about straight lines, and right angles?!?!? Who knew???

This block is for Shadrach Meshach & Abednego of The Maple Leaf Bee! She asked us to make a spiderweb block using the green 'kites' and a few scraps of random fabrics she sent us, along with scraps from our stash! LOVE this block!!! I can't wait to see how it all looks together. She also asked us to sign our name and our 'place' on the block, which I forgot about until I was about to mail it! Glad I caught it in time!

I still owe one block to it's3o'clockinthemorning of the MMSB...which will be finished this weekend!

Happy Quilting!!!!

As a result of being in a 'funk,' I fell behind in my quilting bee obligations!!!

So I've been playing catch-up as of late!

The block below was made for Viv of the MMSB...

She sent out the white, and we (the worker bees) were asked to make a flying geese circle using our fabric of one color. I chose orange...I LOVE orange!! This was meant for March...and I sent it in May...I'm totally ashamed. Sorry Viv!!!

This block was made for Catherine of the Maple Leaf Bee...

I LOVE the charcoal in this block...and the green too! And I enjoy paper-piecing as long as there is plenty of extra fabric...there was some nail biting...and cursing at the seams...LOL

This one was also meant for March...and was sent in May...Sorry Catherine!!!

The vintage sheets brought back memories of staying at Nana's house...and I'm really looking forward to seeing how this quilt is going to turn out...I'm thinking "Light & Airy"

That's it for now...I'm off to tackle the next set of tardy blocks!

It's all done...and been sent to Tammy ...who's going to get them to Rebecca...who will deliver them to the people devestated by the earthquake! This was such a feel-good project...and I love the way it turned out...I hope it put a smile on a little person face and a hug in their heart!

This is Charlotte's very 1st Quilt!!!

She picked out the fabrics and pieced the blocks together...and with Mommy's help finished it off! Mommy helped with the rest of the piecing...quilting...and binding. I'm very proud of her!

Lucky recipient...the newest member of our family...Baby Will...my cousins son.

These are the 2nd set of potholders that I have made for Potholder Pass 2...

The first set didn't look so good once I quilted them :(

I think they turned out very cute...Hexagons are starting to become an obsession I think?!?!?!?!

LOOK what I got!!!!

Awesome pinwheel...and redwork!!!

This little pocket is such a cute idea!

THANK-YOU Stacey from North Carolina!!!

These blocks are for Karen of the Live Piecefully Virtual Quilting Bee. I love this strippy block...easy to make...and they always look good when you put them all together...How easy is that?!?!?! I think I need to add a strippy quilt to my to-do list!

This block is for Kandra of the MishMash StashBash Quilting Bee. Love the fabrics she sent (the birdie one and the grey with pink). She asked us to use mostly pinks and reds with yellows and oranges for good measure. I think it turned out great! This is a pretty easy block to make...can't wait to see them all together!
