Crazy Quilting Friday and the postman came !

It's Friday again , it sure seems to come around fast . I can't show you all of this weeks block as it is for the International Round Robin I am taking part in but I will show you a sneak peak , I must say I am really pleased so far , I have more handwork to do but will have it done in plenty of time for the deadline and I am enjoying this one .
I also received a postcard in the mail yesterday , I am taking part in a postcard exchange with a yahoo group I am a member of and this months theme was leaves , you can see my postcards that I am mailing out in this previous post . Monika of My Sweet Prairie is the moderator of this group ,if you have never visited here blog I really suggest you do , she is very inspirational and an amazing artist .She asked us to use real leaves , well the postcard I received yesterday afternoon did just that , I must say I was amazed and impressed that she sewed straight through the leaves and they are still intact . Isn't this amazing , Tamara said these are leaves from her backyard ,cool .Thanks Tamara
As for what I am doing today I am starting on another baby quilt , shh don't tell Sharon , I have a plan, now to get it started and finished by the time this baby arrives which is only a little over a week away but I figure it will take a little longer before the shower takes place so I won't panic just yet ;-) I'll show you a peak maybe tomorrow as I am taking part for the first time in the Friday Night sew in ,like I need encouragement haha! Not sure what the weather is like in your neck of the woods but it is a rainy drizzly day here and perfect one for sewing so if you need me you can find me in my sewing room. Thanks for stopping by. Hugs Sheila

    Yes!! FNSI! I really want to get into crazy quilting, but I just haven't taken the plunge yet. What's the best way to get started? Any suggestions for small projects?
