GT&SB BOM. Last of the applique blocks...

I can't believe I'm actually making progress on this quilt!

I am done with the all applique blocks (not the border), and finished the double drunkard's paths.  All I have left is one more block, the fillers, and the border!  AND... it's only February!  Here are my latest blocks:
 


And because it's fun, here is the progress to date!
 
The end is in sight!

Green Tea and Sweet Beans BOM Update

I have been faithfully making these blocks!  I just took a look, and I have completed 7 of the 12 months.  And I've done some more blocks too!  Here are the ones that haven't been posted on the blog yet...

Month 6- Day Lily.  I liked this one, but for some reason it took me a long time to sew on the outside corners!


Month 7 - Flower Block.  These were fun!  I really liked the petals, even though they didn't turn out perfect.  I think they're cute!


Month 7 - Igloo. I absolutely love these blocks. The round parts gave me fits, but I think they turned out well.


Month 8 - Applique Block #2. This one took me FOREVER. I think I decided I didn't like applique or something..


Month 9 - Berry Basket. I completed this one even though I didn't finish the second block for Month 8. I have been looking forward to this block since the BOM started! I have to admit that I was a little disappointed that the pot fabric wasn't the same as the original (it's orangey in the original) but I think the blue pot fits as well.


I have a couple of blocks that should be finished soon, but hopefully there will be another Green Tea and Sweet Beans update soon!

More Blocks

Ok ok fine, my blog's been neglected.  But I have been making some blocks!  Here are updates for my quilting bee blocks:



They were fun!  But mostly I've been concentrating on my Green Tea and Sweet Beans quilt...


Sorry for the poor formatting, I figured it'd be better to put something up than delay it another 3 months!

Hello 2010!

Oh my poor neglected blog!  I hope you forgive me... I'll give you lots of photos!  I have been really busy, but I have been sewing!  I knitted a  blanket for Chris' parents, and my sister and I sewed placemats and napkins for my mom.  Both were very well received. 

Lucy made it through Christmas with minimal torture from her human parents and received lots of toys and kisses.  Lets just say she was pooped.

      

I've also been sewing all the quilting bee blocks:



But perhaps most exciting of all, Chris' mom's friend's friend had an unfinished cathedral window quilt that needed a home, and I am the lucky one who received the box!  Look at all these goodies:



Recently I have been trying to catch up on my Green Tea and Sweet Beans block of the month.  I will update with photos of those blocks soon!
