My Thimble Hider

I was so pleasantly surprised yesterday to get a package all the way from Ireland. Lesley (aka "Lacelady) who is in my Internation Round Robin Group sent me this cute little thimble keeper. It is so adorable.

You squeeze the two ends to open it.
This is what I found inside.

Lesley, you made my day!

My Sewing Accomplishments Today

I got some sewing done while my Cinnamon Rolls were rising. Just a few things that got pushed onto the back burner until Christmas was over.

This is a Panda Baby Quilt for a friend at Church. It is a cheater panel and all I had to do was find a coordinating border in my stash and sew it one. I've never quilted a panel before so it ought to be interesting and fun. It think this is one of the cutest quilts I've ever seen and just might have to get more of the fabric to make myself one.

This little Doll Quilt is for a Doll Quilt Exchange on http://www.quiltingboard.com/. January has a theme of your city, state, country, etc. I live not too far from Pittsburgh, PA and had some fabric left from the tote I made. I still need to quilt it.

This is a International Round Robin center from http://www.quiltingboard.com/. I'm a little late sending this one out but I finally got it done. I put a basic border on it but thought it lent well with the fabric pattern and the busyness of the center.

I also washed fabric for a Chocolate/Raspberry Block Swap that I'm coordinating on the http://www.quiltingboard.com/. I'll post pictures of that later.


Wow, I feel like I got a lot accomplished today. Maybe now I can get in the shower!

My International Round Robin Center Progress

I am so excited to see the progress of my center from the International Round Robin #2 on www.quiltingboard.com!!! I just had to post it for all to see.

I sent the center to Ninnie who put the 2 small borders around my center.

Then, she sent it to Lacelady in Ireland who put the absolutely brilliant picket fence around my cottage.




The fabric behind the fence is of other cottages! I LOVE it!



I just can't wait to see how it continues to grow. It will make its way home around September/October 2010.
