13 more siggy blocks made today for a total of 18 done and 104 more to go. I want to these out of the way so that I can work on my next two projects. I am making a baby quilt for my nephew who is about one month old. It is a nine patch and snowball quilt using 30's prints and lavender. I have all of the blocks made and four of the rows put together. I need to purchase border fabric but I have the backing and binding ready to go. The next quilt I will do is one for my niece who is also about 1 month old. It is the same pattern as the other quilt only using 30's prints with a light yellow fabric. All of the 2.5" 30's prints are cut but that is as far as I have gotten. I will try to get some photos up tomorrow.

Dear Jane siggy swap blocks. I am participating in the "Dear Jane" signature block swap again this year. I need to make 122 blocks and mail them so they reach their destination by April 15th. I have all of the fabric cut and 5 blocks complete. Here is a photo of two of the blocks showing the two different fabrics that I am working with this year.

More lottery blocks. I completed 2 scrappy Jacob's Ladder blocks for another yahoo group. In the photo of the two blocks together it came out really dark and doesn't not show the colors very well. The other photos show the colors better, but I chopped off the bottom part. I need to get better at taking digital photos!! Also apparently my camera thinks that it is June 1, 1999.

I have been so busy what with my kids being home for Spring Break that I haven't had much "me" time. I did accomplish two things though. I finished a redwork block to mail to a fellow quilter who is collecting handprint blocks and I finished two lottery blocks for a yahoo group. I am showing a pic of the two blocks and I apologize for the darkness of the photo.
I am hoping that tomorrow I will be able to put up pictures of the two UFO's that I am currently working on. Soon I will be listing all of the UFO's and WIP's that I have going so that I can stay motivated and update my blog with the progress that I am making.

Primitive Bunny doll also from a Primraggs pattern. This doll was made from Buttercream scented tea-stained muslin and her dress was from tea-stained fabric. I sold this doll on ebay.

Primitive Halloween Kitties that I made from a pattern by Brenda at www.primraggs.com. I will put these up on ebay under the seller ID poeslenore when it gets a little closer to Halloween. Their bodies are made from tea-stained muslin that has been painted and sanded. The dresses were made from Halloween print fabrics that were also tea-stained. I think they came out adorable.

Primitive Rag doll that I made from a pattern by Brenda at www.primraggs.com. I have purchased several of her doll patterns and love them all. I make them and sell them on ebay under the user name of poeslenore. This doll was made from Buttercream scented tea-stained muslin from www.SugarPlumStitches.com. The patchwork dress is made from squares of fabric that were primarily pink and yellow. The dress was then tea-stained for the primitive look.

This is the Bunny Rabbit quilt that I made for my nephew Luke. The pattern was an Easter mystery wallhanging from www.quiltingpassion.com .

Here is a photo of the quilt that I made for my niece, Moira. It was originally a mystery quilt pattern on www.quiltingpassion.com entitled "Rock 'N Roll baby quilt." I used only 1930's reproduction fabrics and really like the way that it turned out.

I started this blog to keep me motivated to finish various sewing, quilting, and crochet projects. I will be posting information about projects that I have started and update my progess with photos. Also I may discuss plans for future projects. I will also post some photos of projects that I have completed in the past. I welcome comments about my projects as well as constructive criticism.
