Another Flower for your Garden Linda

Hi Linda,
Got your block done just in time! I will mail with Melissa's block tomorrow. Wow! Doing this block really makes you realize how much work has gone into many of the old quilts we see today. I have never done a block like this before so I hope it looks okay Linda! My little boy kept jumping up on my lap tonight while I was working on it so there are some crooked stitches- Ha Ha!
I will be getting the June Block up late tomorrow afternoon- So be sure to check back tomorrow!
Hope everyone had a great memorial day! Special thanks to all of our troops and veterans!

It's Still May!

And I finished. Just in time . . . Linda it's mostly flat. A little lumpy here and there. You're going for the handmade look right? I've never done anything like this before but Marie and I will mail them together. Maybe tomorrow?

This and That

Hi girls. I'm having a contest on my blog right now called Trimmed with Love. Basically you can enter anything you've added trim to -- ric rac, eyelet, etc etc etc. Lots of awesome prizes too!

In other news, I was wondering who wants to continue this group for another year? I understand (believe me I understand) if anyone is too busy. I think I would enjoy another time though. If you want, you can privately e-mail me. I believe we started in September last year, so it's probably time to think about it.

Also, would you like to change it up any way? I know sometimes people start with their own center square and then the quilt is passed to a different person each month who will add a border until the quilt is finished. There can be different border themes each month. Tell me what you think.

And in one personal side note, I plan to sign a contract with a fabric company this week to design fabric for them. (squeal) It's a dream for me and I can't believe it's really happening.

Take care!
Love, Melissa

Little Bit of Grandma's Garden for Linda

Linda, thank you for getting me back into hand sewing again, it's been a long time. I so enjoyed working on this little block, and can't wait to see the finished quilt.  I have always admired the Grandmother's Garden Block, but have been a bit intimidated to start one, but no more.  I will be heading down to the Post Office shortly and it will be on it's way to you soon. 

Enjoy your weekend, ladies.

What happens......

if I've lost my May block?

Oh my gosh....I'm so in trouble.

I finally got last month's block in the mail today, I'm so super sorry!

I blogged about it on my blog, I had some pretty serious heart issues in April and half of May.

I'm all better now and ready to get back on track.

Now, I just have to find that darn May block. I will..........

Just For Fun!

Hi ladies,

It is a real dreary day here in Kansas. Thought I would have a little fun and have a drawing. Please come on over and sign up! Hope all is okay in your world!

Did a simple tutorial and a recipe, nothing fancy just a fun idea!

Blessings, Linda
