Jelly Roll Sampler Block #5

Here it is. This one was just a tad more interesting to make. Had to make sure the angles and placements of the colored pieces were in just the right place. I will admit that I had to rip out a segment and unbelieveably it was one of the inner white pieces. Oh well.

This Jelly Roll Sampler has been addictive. Its hard to wait for the next installment 2 weeks later to be able to "see" and sew the next block. I have been thinking about doing another one in Christmas colors, just trying to decide if I want to buy a new jelly roll or to scrap stash it with what I already have. Better sense says Scrap Stash, but I love using a lovely already matched grouping of fabric.

ENJOY!

Whats this, A giant Hole in My curtain?

Well to explain this: this room was originally my boys bedroom before I converted it over to my sewing room. The plan was to make new drapes but that project kept getting put to the side. Then I decided that because it gets so very hot here in Arizona and this window catches all the morning 1st rays, I needed to cover it up to make it a more pleasant temperature in my room. I have this grand idea to put another pocketed cover board right in the window space, taking away the awful heat, and providing me more storage spots. But I think I will miss my friends. You can't believe how many times I happen to glance out that hole from where I sit and see birds sitting on that pole you see out the window. Its been sort of fun to lean back, take a breather from sewing and watch my friends, the birds. I almost don't want to take away that awful hole, but it sure will be more feasible to work in a cooler room. When I get my project done, I will be sure to post about it.

Heres my latest pride and joy, My new grand-daughter - Rebekah. She has the happiest parents, Michael and Anna, being that she is their first child and what a joy she is going to be. I'm so excited as well and I look forward to many many Grandma -Grand-daughter bonding time.

Boy! I can hardly stand it. This is block #4! Being a part of this Jelly Roll Sampler Quilt Along has been so much fun. I can hardly wait for the 2 weeks to go by so I can find out what the next block is going to look like and then put it together. Now that I have 4 of the blocks done, its starting to look so cute. Check out my flickr for the complete set laid out by each other.

Enjoy!

I found the cutest crochet bag on bitty bits and pieces for anyone who is interested in checking it out.

Kim is the author of the blog and she does lots of cute stuff. She is also featured on Modas Bake Shop with the tutorial for making one for yourself. Go check it out!

Been doing a lot of commissioned work for others but last week I did find time to do some catch up on fyi's.

Here is some more of my Stars for a quilt I have been working on. I made I think about 20 of them in a few days and now its back to doing other things.

A little close up of one of them.
