And now I wait........

A few days ago I mentioned that I was taking part

in the Garden Steps Stitch & Quilt Along.

The cutting and assembly instructions are now up

over at Clover & Violet's blog.

Of course I couldn't wait to get started.

I pulled reds, blues and yellows

from my stash to match my decor.

This quilt is going to be extra special to me

because a few of these fat quarters were purchased

at the Quilt Festival last year with my

fantastic blogging/sewing buddies!

So here are my 12 blocks.

All sewn and just waiting for the embroidery patterns

so that I can begin stitching!

The hardest part now is the waiting.......

I'm a such a horrible "waiter".

My husband used to hide my Christmas gifts

at his mother's house until we moved too far

away from her for that to be convenient.

Then he started buying his own wrapping paper

and bows and he would make sure the tape was

on there good so that if I tried to open them

carefully, I'd rip the paper and he'd know

and I wouldn't have the same paper to re-wrap it.

Yes....horrible I know......

So in the mean time,

I'll just admire the happy fabric

and count down the days

 until the first embroidery pattern is available.......

I think this one is my favorite block.

Or maybe this one......

I have to say I like this one too.......
