Progress with Irene

The sun is shining the the temperatures have risen, yeah , spring just may come after all .  So what have I been up to , well not a lot actually but I do have some progress with my Good night Irene quilt to share .
So as you can see I have five rows complete  and I have two other rows just waiting for me to complete the X blocks and they are all set to sew , this is one fun quilt to make . I am sewing along with Terry of Terry's Treasures along with many other enthusiastic quilters .
 I have also mailed off my postcards to my two partners in my little swap , sorry i can't share those until they arrive to their destination which is not close by so may take a while but I promise I will share once they do arrive . How is everyone coming along with their postcards , hope you are enjoying making your spring postcards and don't forget to share your cards once you receive it or yours have been received .
 Our guild the Thistle Quilt Guild is also swapping postcards with a guild and this year we have two guilds to exchange with , the first is Hawaii and then in April a group in New Zealand will swap with some of our members . For that swap we have decided to make the cards with something to represent where we live , well I made one postcard and really like it but in my decision making I came across two other images that I REALLY must try out so today I started on one ,I can't share that either but eventually you will get to see them all :-)
   I took part last night in Cheryll's FNWF's , it is always fun to stitch along with others but I didn't have a lot of time last evening but did get a few stitches in on this project which is from the Spring  2013 issue of Primitive Quilts and hopefully I will get this finished this month for Sharons' Book it event . I have all of the applique finished and I am now working on the embroidery .


 Tomorrow I am taking part in a workshop to make a rather cute spring wall hanging , looking forward to that and need to get my things all packed up to be sure I don't forget anything . So enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by .
 Hugs Sheila
