SAHR, BSA, and OFW

Okay, Stay at Home Robiners - How are we doing?  I'm sorry to report that I haven't yet started my November/December assignment.  I suspect that I'm not the only one who is running behind schedule, so I'm proposing that we start the next assignment on Jan. 15th, and then move the next one to March 1st.  What do you think?  If anyone is chomping at the bit to move on, please let me know, and I'll get the next assignment out sooner.  There is a tab up under my header with all the previous assignments if you're joining in late, or just need a refresher. 


ONE FLOWER WEDNESDAY:

It's been a couple of months since I've made any hexie flowers.  But it's time to get back to them.  I received some small pieces of fabric from Anna last week, and while sorting my scraps the other day, I pulled out some that I thought would be good for flowers.  Karen is the Hostess with the Mostest, and you can find links to other blogs on her site if you'd like to see more pretty flowers.


BLOCK SWAP ADVENTURE

Here is the beautiful block that I received from Andra for January!  We were both extremely efficient this month, and got our blocks out early.  A huge Thank You to Linda who keeps us all organized and sends out new partner info each month.



12 DOC MYSTERY QUILT

Tomorrow is Day 12 of Temecula Quilt Co's 12 Day of Christmas Mystery Quilt.  Are you playing along?  If not, you're missing out on a really cute quilt.  There are only 12 blocks, and they're 3 1/2 inches.  And... I'm even caught up with all the blocks!  Me!  I can't wait to see how they're put together. 


FARMER'S WIFE SAMPLER QUILT

Today was the day to get started!  Jamie asked me to partner with her, so we each exchanged some fabric, and I'll make some of the blocks for each of us, and she'll make blocks for each of us.  We've got a handy dandy spreadsheet to keep us in line, and we're starting with some of the easier blocks.  Here is Jamie's fabric just before the first cut.


That sums up the last couple of days for me.  What's up with you?

  5. Mid Jan would work well for me. I am not just two months behind. Thought it was only one but as usual I was wrong. Never was able to post the picture. I must be doing something wrong.....

  11. I'm on schedule with the SAHR and still very seriously considering finishing it off as a wall hanging as is for over our bed. Right now I'm quilting the snowman quilt top I finished last year. And then there's the 2 BOM's I've already signed up for, more ufo's and more plans. Teehee! When will it ever end?

  14. Can't wait to see that Farmer's Wife progress. Love the fabrics. Sounds like you're keeping busy. We just flew back home yesterday, so trying to get into the swing of things, and almost have the Christmas tree ornaments put away. Never as much fun as getting them out! Love that quote about contentment--I think that is a perfect mantra for 2012! One of my favorite scriptures goes something like, "Not that I speak in respect of want, for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." Wishing you a wonderful and healthy New Year, Sunny!
