I finished a quilt block for the Block Robin swap that I am currently in. It is a mother sheep with 5 baby sheep. The recipient's theme was a farm quilt. This is a pattern from Debbie Mumm's book Quick Country Quilting.

This is a pillowcase that I made for my daughter's friend.



I just thought I would post a photo of a pillowcase that I made for my nephew on his birthday. I went to the fabric store and bought fabric that I thought any small boy would like and chose this cute construction vehicles fabric. When we showed up at the birthday party I was pleased to see that the theme of his party was construction vehicles. The cake and all of the decorations had various contruction vehicles so my fabric was the perfect choice.

The next grid that I added to (see description below) had a "Michigan" theme. The quilt block that I added was an autumn leaves block.



These next two blocks were made by me to attach to another person's grid in the block robin(see description in earlier post below). Her theme was coffee. These pictures are not that great because they were taken with a camera phone.

I am currently participating in a block robin swap. There are six of us in the group. Each person drew a grid of 6 X 8 four inch squares on a plain piece of muslin. Then each person had to come up with a theme that she wanted her quilt to be. She then made a quilt block to attach to the grid. The grid then gets mailed to the next person on the list. As you receive each grid you attach quilt blocks that follow the theme of the grid. When you finally get your own grid back, you sew all the blocks together and then you have a small quilt to treasure. Here is a picture of the block that I put on my grid before I sent it out. This photo is a little washed out because the fabrics are much brighter than they appear. My theme was 1930's reproduction fabrics with shirting backgrounds.










I meant to load these photos up a while ago. They are more photos from the Dear Jane Siggy swap back in the spring.
