2015 Crazy Quilt Calendar Sneak Peek

I thought you'd all enjoy a sneak peek of the cover design for the 2015 Crazy Quilt Calendar:

This is the cover block:

Yes, this one is mine!  There are 12 lovely crazy quilters contributing blocks for each month.  As soon as I have all the blocks in, I'll announce the wonderful artists who kindly and lovingly agreed to contribute to this project.

For now, this is the Calendar Cover:

And be sure to look for my ad in the Summer issue of Crazy Quilt Gatherings Magazine:

Blue Clutch Purse

Just a quick little update on my current project:

I expect to finish this up in the next day or so.  Then I'll sew up my last couple of projects next week.

Crazy Quilt Gatherings Magazine Summer Issue

The Summer issue of Crazy Quilt Gatherings Magazine is now available!!!!

It's an absolutely gorgeous issue!!!!  Order it from Magcloud.

I've been stitching on some clutch purses.  This one is all stitched and ready to sew together:

And this is the one I'm stitching on now:

When I get this one finished, I'll put them both together.  And then maybe I'll start on a few Fall projects.  I know, it seems so early but I like the cheery colors of Fall and I do like to plan ahead!

New Door Hanging Pillow from Mom!

Today, I have a few new door hanging pillows that Mom made:

I love the pink one with the kitties!  But you probably already knew that!

I've been working on some clutch purses.  I have one all stitched and another one started.  I have photos of those tomorrow.

Watermelon Purse

Boy, did I feel like I was in slow motion on my Crazy Quilt Watermelon Purse!  But it's only because I have a bunch of different things that I'm doing.  Being all over the map is something I'm very good at!  LOL!!!  Anyway, here it is, the finished purse:

This is over in my Etsy shop.  I won't be doing anymore of these.  It was just a cool idea that I had to try and it was fun but I'm ready to get back to more traditional pieces.

Scott just started the grill.  We're cooking brats and burgers so I have to cut up some salad and yes, some watermelon!
