I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays with their families and friends and have now openly embraced this new year which is already into its second week .
So what have I been up to , hmm let me think , I have been sewing some , not as much as I'd like but doing as much as my poor body will allow .
I am working on the Bonnie Hunters mystery quilt but don't have a lot to share , just bits and pieces of hsts and four patch blocks , I am a long way from finished . I am also still working on the Moda Blockheads BOW, here are the most recent on my design wall
I recently joined in a weekly challenge by Darlene D'eon on the Nova Scotia online quilters FB page . Why in the world would I take on something else when I have two quilts on the go you may be asking yourself . Well simple answer is I am easily convinced especially when it involves using up the many many scraps I have seemed to accumulate , do you think they may breed at night ? It's actually a fun block and quick to make , another bonus plus it works really well as a leader and ender block . It is the jewel box block and mine will be truly scrappy . Here are four blocks, yes I know we are only in week two but you know how it is , you get carried away or maybe that is just me .
Super scrappy indeed but hey it will keep someone nice and warm when it is finished .
Well that's all my news for now I really just wanted to touch base and wish each of you all the best for 2019 , let's make it out best year ever .
Hugs Sheila
Good to have you back, Sheila! You are right......Jewel Box is a great scrappy quilt, mine was one of the first quilts I ever made, a long time ago.

ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing your version of Bonnie's quilt. I was saving the Moda blockheads to do but after a while figured i'd never make it & deleted the mall. :) Love your scrappy block. Hugs,xx
ReplyDeleteHey Sheila, good to read you..... and all the best for 2019 - I hope it's heaps better. I love your blockheads colours… some of the blocks are big aren't they. Your scrappy project looks fun too.... it's always to have several projects on the go at the same time...

Happy New Year Sheila. Hopefully this one is a tood one and goes by a little slower than last year!! I live in hope 😊😊 the scrappy block looks great.
ReplyDeleteSheila, making the blocks you like is how it should be. That makes it all the more your quilt. Hope you have a wonderful year.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Sheila! So sorry that 2018 wasn't a good year for you and I hope this year will be better. It's nice to see your beautiful projects and congratulations on winning a prize with your Splendid Sampler quilt (from your last post). Take care of yourself first Sheila! Glad you are still stitching.... your work is always so beautiful! Hugs Christine xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely to hear from you Sheila - I do hope that 2019 will be a better year for you. Great to get involved with lots of projects - your super scrappy block looks great! xx
ReplyDeleteLovely to see and read your post Sheila. Wishing you a much happier 2019 x Your projects look great and yes I am sure that they do multiply at night lol!
ReplyDeleteTake care xx
Nice to see you! I hope 2019 is kinder to you than 2018 was. I think you've got a good philosophy about your blocks and projects for 2019. It's supposed to be fun, after all!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! I hope that 2019 is a great year for your and your family. I love to see scrap quilts, and I think your idea of making just the blocks that you like is a great one. Scraps do multiply at night-it's rather scary-mine do, for sure!!
ReplyDeleteHappy stitching, and so nice to read a post from you again,
