Today I am working on my blocks for the Lantern QAL I joined at Quilty Habit http://www.quiltyhabit.blogspot.com/ (even though I said I wasn't joining any QAL's this year so I could finish UFO's - so much for plans.) I needed to make something new, easy and different. These blocks are modern to my thinking, so I'm putting my toe in that pond to see if I like it. All I have so far is the layout;
I'm using up strips from a Ty Pennington Impressions jelly roll. I'll be working on this between a doctor appointment and a dentist appointment today so we'll see what gets done.
I made my first fabric postcards and mailed them yesterday to my partner who is in Nova Scotia. Sheila of Sheila's Quilt World http://sheilasquiltworld.blogspot.com/ posted about the exchange she was planning so I joined in since I wanted to make fabric postcards but held back because it was an unknown venture. I can't post my cards yet until my partner receives them, but then I'll show what I made. Post Office I'm counting on you:-)
Check out the giveaway at Henry Glass.
This weekend is Christmas QAL; hope to meet up with you at Hazel's http://www.hazelsquilts.blogspot.com
God Bless.
Oh, great lantern - got mine stitched up last night. Yes, this looks to be a fun project and look forward to your progress. I have my X-mas weekend projects lined up and waiting.
ReplyDeleteLove your lantern block. It is modern and I'm looking at modern and easy just lately too. Not sure how I will join in QAL this weekend with my visitors but I've been doing some cutting and put a post up already.
