Final Week is here!

 It's crazy how fast January has gone by!
I apologize for not posting much last week
and for the late post today.
I've been battling the flu
and haven't done much besides
veg out on the couch and stitch.
Between the low grade fever and annoying cough,
I've been exhausted for about a week.

I'm feelin' the LOVE

So this is what I worked on last night.
I used the adorable charm pack 
of "Surrounded by Love" by Deb Strain
and I used a block pattern from the  book
"Another Bite of Schnibbles".
The block is called the Round About.
I did 16 blocks instead of 25 blocks
and I used the 1" strips left over after cutting the blocks
 for an accent between sashing strips.
I'm pleased with the way it came out.
I have some fun ideas on how I'll quilt it.
It measures about 30" square.
Great size for a table topper. 
I suddenly have a craving for foil wrapped chocolate hearts.......


The Winner for Week #2 is......

Hope you are all having a wonderful Friday!
I'm excited to be sewing tonight :)
I finished up my cross stitch by Little House Needleworks last night
and I love love love it.
Not sure how I'll finish it just yet.
I guess for the time being it will join my growing stack 
of cross stitch pieces waiting .........


I also finished this fun apron this week.
I'm obsessed with this fabric.
Don't you just love the red bowls with polka dots?
I know I do :)


I received my charm pack from SistersandQuilters.com.
Isn't it fun?
I'm going to make a Valentines Day table topper.
It's called "Surrounded by Love"  by Deb Strain.

I also rec'd my vintage buttons from pillowtalkswf.etsy.com
Those little wooden doll buttons just stole my heart. 
I have no idea what I'm going to use them for,
but they needed to come to my house :)
