I am linking up with Lets Get Acquainted today, Fabric Mutt shared her CLEAN and Really cute and creative space. I am envious right now. I have a mess going on trying to decorate. 

I am getting ready to Host a Post on Tips and Tricks Tuesdays, here is a HINT.. http://mummyquilts.blogspot.com/p/host-tips-tricks.html

 Working on my Herringbone block for the Nurture Group, its not going well for me, I need to get with Stitched in Color, she will help me out. 

Happy Quilting has started the Star Burst Quilt Along so I will start cutting on this today !! SCAREY !!! I have more, I own the entire Collection, I also am adding more greyss and lavendars with it. I just got a big order from Intrepid Threads, it feels so silky smooth.

 

Erica from To Love Handmade Gifted me this beauty of a Dress Form and it even has a button lapel to sharpen my pins.. so cute, please visit her NEW Blog and share some bloggy friendship ! ( she is my daughter n law, thats how I was gifted, LOL )

my block.. not matching at all

These are the Blocks from Decembers Liberty and Justice Group, this group blogs once a month on Flicker, there is a Queen that choses the block and fabric, it must be patriotic either in color, block or both. We could use a few more members if your interested contact http://libertyandjusticebee.blogspot.com/

I was the queen for December and I chose a PP block from FreshlemonsQuilts. Everyone else did Christmas colors and their stunning accept for me, my sample block was with Kona Moderns, I am going to go back to my Christmas scraps and re-do to match their wonderful blocks. 


Seriously, I am spinning my wheels, from the Holidays, moving my studio and starting the New Year right, now its time to Sync the old and start Fresh, you can see on my side Bar all the great things I have joined to learn and grow. I have an anniversary coming up in February and some great Folks that will be celebrating with me, I hope you will join the party too on February 11 thru the 14th..

I am sticking my neck out there and asking a few of the vendors to sponsor some giveaways.. I would love to have a few giveaways.. 

whew !! I feel better, join Lets get Aquainted and have a good week !

Love always,

Merrily Sew Along Table Runner and Lets Get Aquainted

Merrily we sew along

I love Sewing Improv !The hosts for this fun and improvisational journey will be Rachael of imagine gnats  and Kelley of casa crafty... and they are pleased as punch to be joined by Debra and Nicole, the authors of improv sewing: 101 fast, fun, and fearless projects and the Improv Diary blog.

 Rachael, Kelley, Debra, and Nicole will choose one improv sewing project every month-ish, and will each share their version of the project. for each project, a guest to sew along and post with us. the schedule, not unlike the sewing, will be improv-inspired (hense the -ish)... so just keep an eye out for the next project in the series. They want you to channel the improv too! of course,They highly recommend getting your own (reasonably priced on amazon) copy of improv sewing, but you're welcome to sew along with or without. we won't be doing full tutorials, but you'll generally be able to get the idea of the project with or without. join the merrily we sew along flickr group so that you can share your creations with us. when they announce the monthly-ish project, they will also announce the "due date" for you to upload your projects... because by uploading pics of your project to the flickr group, you'll be entered to win that month's prize!

FLICKER GROUP ROUND 1
