Sunsets and 15 minutes


Finding Rhythm.

My mother, as I said, graciously helped me by joining 8 quilt tops 6 X6
of the pre cut 10.5" blocks you all have been sending.
This by the way, is a HUGE help.

Feel free to keep sending the precuts, backings and House blocks and bindings...
I can see I will be going through the load I have here faster than I had thought...

I had not planned on starting to finish these to 6 X 8 (60" X 80")tops,
But having the 8 tops lay there,I figured a few a day will keep me from leaving them til the last minute...
So i am figuring out how to incorporate the House blocks, and come up with 14 quilts for Auction, plus about 6 more that BASICS will sell at other various functions...


Yesterday, I rcvd these blocks from
Nancy, Janet R., and GiGi

Janet, Need your email address please...


If Nancy and Janet R have blogs, please let me know so I can link them.

Thank you So Much!!!

Keep them coming til April 30th!
Don't Forget that
Fabulous Amy Butler Fabric Giveaway!!!

Just have them to me by the end of this month and you will be entered!

  1. How wonderful of your mom to help you out. Those quilts are coming together so quickly and pretty too.

    My 15 minutes will be spent making chocolate chip cookies for my kids today. I love to surprise them when they get home from school. MMmm I can smell them now.

    15 minutes....I had a lot of 15 minute moments but they did not involve sewing! Perhaps I'll spend a few minutes doing so before bed!
