A big THANKS to Kim Lapacek and Trish Frankland for our first challenge, Mythical Creatures. Kim and Trish make the new year sew much fun! I look forward the challenges each year! For challenge one, I'm happy to share my "Gnomes all Around" table topper. It is 24x24" foundation paper pieced. I found this pattern in the Annie's Quilting book, Quilted Gnomes for your Home . The patterns author is Jennifer Thomas of Curlicue Creations. Trixie my cat approves of this weeks challenge! Thank you for visiting!

16.3 – Common Blocks – Challenge 3 of Project QUILTING season 16 I had so much fun with this challenge! I worked with my fellow Project Quilter and friend Nancy I. together we went through Nancy's collection of "left overs" or "orphan" blocks. We started with piles of blocks in various stages of construction and we worked together bouncing ideas off of one another. We tested colors and block layouts. It was like working on a puzzle. It was a challenge to figure out how the blocks fit together. We couldn't believe that we finished our tops on day one! It was a wonderful day! Thank you Nancy for coming up with a great idea of using leftovers! I set out to make a blue quilt but I ended up with a purple and pink quilt. I love it! I'm spotting Minnie Mouse's bow and shoes. I found Peter Rabbit yesterday when I was binding! There are little orange crabs. It is such a pleasure to be surrounded by a truly scrappy quilt-I was so cozy under my new quilt! S...
16.6 – Button it Up – Challenge 6 of Project QUILTING This was a left over block that my fellow PQ Nancy I. gave me. I loved the little blue hand appliqued basket but thought that it's tiny size (3" or so) was unseal for the size of the block (12" X12 "}. I really wanted to try to make the button spider and I love it! I wish I should have used more colorful buttons. I've had this book in my stash and wanted to try some of the stitches! I have a steep learning curve when it comes to embroidery. My collection of buttons. Deciding which block to use for this weeks project. Thank you for visiting!
