Chunky Dunk Quilts

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!

TA-DA!!!

Here it is...

All finished! *sigh*

Named after my eldest daughter, as it was her artwork, and the artwork of her 3rd grade class that inspired me.

They were working on artwork that was inspired by Canadian Artist Ted Harrison.

She was also my 'consultant' during the whole 'building' process.

It'll be off to it's new owner on Monday, as I've been home with the stomach flu the last couple of days!

I LOVE this quilt...and I'm going to have to make myself one!

When I went to the mailbox a couple of days ago...I received all this (plus a couple of bills)... SCORE!!!! (expect for the bills)!!!

This is from Pam in Orlando...part of a FQ swap...all Amy Butler...the actual FQ is from the LOVE collection...which I love!

The funky colored package is from Japan...part of a Charm swap...

And the forth package contained a yard of retro fabric...with an intended future as potholders for a special someone in my life!!!!

I also received yesterday an envelope with my Purple Charm Chain Letter! which contained 2 x 6" sqaures of purple fabric. I'm very excited about this! How it works is...I send 2 x 6" squares of purple, 100%, high quality cotton, to the 1st person on the list...cross off her name...add my name to the bottom of the list...and send the letter along with 2 x 6" squares of purple fabric to 4 other people...and then they repeat the process!!! If it works you'll receive 72 squares in total! It will be interesting to see what and where they come from!

I NEED 2 MORE PEOPLE TO JOIN! If you are interested please email me at preciousposies@gmail.com ... I will need your home mailing address (which will be shared with the chain!)

CHEERS!

As you can see, I've change the look of my blog...for the duration of the Olympics!

During Family Day (a STAT holiday in Ontario)...my 4 kids and I, including the 21 month old, made 'Maple Leaf' sugar cookies...

Sooo...this is my fall mini...again!

I'm wanting to satin stitch a 'stick tree' to it...this tree will go through all layers...

However, I can't decide where to put, or to 'put it' at all?!?!?
