New Tobler baby and squares from Liz and Teriney!

Maud Tobler was born last Wednesday, the 19th, to Joe and Teriney. She is our 9th grandchild! She weighed 7 lb. 4 oz. and was 19 1/2" long. She came a little early and surprised us all.

One more square... that's 9 total!

Here is Nikki's square! I love the colors you chose. Thank you!

I thought this would be a fun way to show all of the beautiful squares that I have received so far. Aren't they gorgeous? I decided that I wanted to remember who's was who's, so I did a simple embroidery on each one with the name of the creator. Now when I look at the finished quilt, I will remember you and your square. Thanks! I love them all. (Can you find yours?)

Pretty Square for Llewellyn

Llewellyn, I love your colors. This was fun... and you are right, easy. I hope you like it.

Mardie

Mardie... gone crazy!

I am making a sampler quilt with the squares we are making along with most of the "12-squared" blocks...

Here is my "Ode to Terri's Black and White".

Here is my backwards "Pinwheel". It was my daughter, Liz's square.

This is Amy Gardner's "Modern Log Cabin".

Rachel Graham's "Cobblestones and Bricks". (I think it is up-side-down)

Kristin's "Modern Flower". (I like the one I made for you better!)

Kristin Sharp's "Selvage Windmill". I thought this one was a strange idea when I read about it... but think it is gorgeous!

Emily Ziegler's "Stacked Coins". So simple, but striking.

I have made the "Zig Zag", several "Log Cabins", several "Dutchman's Puzzles", several "Chicken Coups". I haven't figured out how to do the Christmas tree yet... so that it is a 12.5" square, but I will.

What fun I have had. But I have to get to work around the house, etc.

Love to all. Mardie.

September and October

For the moment we are skipping the September square.  Marnita has been sick and when not sick she is working on her house trying to get the kitchen completely installed.  We will try to pick her square up in the next couple of weeks.

Llewellyn will be trading pieces (places) with Nikki for October.  She is currently working on her tutorial and she has fabric for everyone. Her tutorial should be up and ready to go within a few days!!! 

Have fun sewing!!

Connie

Another "Scrappy Star!"

Here is Kristin's Scrappy Square! I love it. I love all of them! They are so bright and unique.

Thanks, Kristin!

New Bedroom Projects!

My mother in law is coming to visit today and I have been burning the midnight oil to get my Rainbow ticker tape quilt done - oh, and some pillows - oh, and some pillow cases - oh, and the "shabby chic" on the "wall bed" looks, well, shabby - so let's throw together a duvet - oh, and some more pillows.

Yes, I feel a little like I am staying up all night crocheting some pot holders... or was that cross stitching on the pot holders... anyway, ta da! I love it!
