One A Day - A Quilt Along

A couple of weeks ago I joined my first ever internet quilt along. I've heard about them, but never had the opportunity to join in at the beginning of one. A few weeks ago one of my favorite quilting bloggers started a new quilt along. Anyone who joins in makes one nine patch quilt block each day from scraps pr whatever you want to use. I thought, "I can do this!" And what a wonderful way to work in all my scraps and bits and pieces. I have been wanting to do a quilt that encompasses all the different leftover fabrics from the many quilts I have made. This is turning out to be a wonderful way to do that. We share our photos on a Flickr group and quilt away! (You can see my Flickr account in the sidebar) I am really enjoying it. It takes me tops 15 to 20 minutes to make a block each day - from cutting to finishing.

Here is my first week's results. I made one extra block the first week because I was going to have a really busy Sunday and didn't think I'd get one done.

Sad Excuse for a Blogger!

Things have been so incredibly busy. I can't begin to offer excuses for not blogging so I will move on!

Here's a short recap!

We've had Easter.

We went strawberry picking.

We came close to flooding.

We have had a late birthday party for a precious girl.

Add on to that....Sponsoring two engaged couples through our Parish/Diocese Sponsor Couple Program (this is our ministry right now and we enjoy it). Baseball for Jacob. Ballet. CCE (now over). Working on the new house. Homeschooling. Just living.

While I am exhausted and crabby sometimes, it is all good. Life is good.
