Slowly getting caught up

Okay, I admit it.....I am a sucker for a sew along.  I just can't say no when I come across a good one.  And actually, I have yet to come across a "bad" one.  There are just so many talented and generous quilters out there.  And I think I am probably not alone when it comes to this addiction.  Admit it, you know who you are (giggle).  But before I get to my SALs......

I spent yesterday putting together a baby quilt that has been on my to do list.  I just realized he is due to arrive in three weeks.  The mama to be probably won't be happy but I hope he follows his daddy's lead and shows up late.  Here's a sneak peek.  It's an adorable pattern by Elizabeth Hartman.  I just need to sandwich it and quilt it....oh, there's time.....


Now back to those SALs I mentioned before....Today I worked on my homework from a couple of SALs that I have joined in on.... I have a couple others to get going on....but these are the ones that made it to the front of the line...

I finished clue 5 for Gyleen Fitzgerald's Bricks, Cobblestones & Pebbles....I have 3 more clues to get caught up on...But l am totally enjoying this stash busting process...and yes it is all from my scrap box or stash....


I also finally posted blocks 1& 2 to the FB page for the Gardens of a King SAL being run by Missie Carpenter.  She has a really neat starch basting EPP method that is used to construct the blocks.  I'm using up my Cherrywoods and Ricky Tims hand dyes for both the Cobblestones and Garden SALs


And finally I felted the wool for Dawn Heese's ( http://dawnheesequilts.blogspot.com) Little wool baskets SAL.  Well, I sort of felted the wool until my washing machine decided to go caput.  Our new machine should be here on Wednesday.  Good thing I work from home since I didn't get a chance to do laundry either.  Let's just say I have some interesting outfits to last me until the new machine shows up.

Until we meet again.....
