I'm caught up on my Pennie from Heaven BOM!! very exciting!!

I'm really liking the wool applique on this Block of the Month, it goes very quickly, I guess because the prep is super quick.

And now my blocks are starting to look like something:

mmm, I might even start to work on the setting triangles if I get ambitious.

But I better get working on the Sister's Challenge.  Our current challenge for our little group is to use a tool from the tool or technique that you have never used before----cause you know we call have a stash of tools too!

So I've been trying out a few, now I just have to pick the project and get going on it! 

Hugs and Stitches!

P.S.  Thanks to the Firehouse Ladies for a nice quilty day on Saturday!!!

If you remember that The Big Fig Newton commercial (a fav in our house!)  from way back when,  then you will know the ceremonial dance I did this morning  when I was able to put this up on the wall:

I am proud to report (I think) that the only fabric purchase for this was the reds.  Stash busting for the rest!

I'm thinking of handquilting this one, the blocks are all hand pieced or hand appliqued so it only seems right, right?  

I'm just pleased as punch to be able to have one top finished this year.  Maybe there's hope to have the hand quilting done this year too!

mmm, what to work on next...

Hugs and Stitches!

P.S.  If you must see the dance....go here!

 

Hugs and Stitches!
