PAPER PIECING PARTY HAPPENING...YEAH

*

Kristy @ Quiet Play

is having a party and you're all invited to join the fun!

It doesn't matter where your skill levels are in the world of

paper piecing (pp) for this party! We're all here to share our love of this

sewing technique.

Kristy is the Grand Mistress of pp designs!

*

This is what I've been stitching away at, slowly, over the past couple of weeks.

The "TARDIS" block from Whims and Fancies  "Doctor Who QAL".

I know it doesn't look like much right now, but give me a few more nights like

this evening and I should have this block finished and on to the next in this wonderful series,

the "TIME LORD"!

*

If you've been toying with the idea of pp, try it! You might just find out that you like it!

If you need more good reasons to try pp, check out Kristy's remarkable patterns

I'm lovin' the "RETRO KITCHEN" patterns ;)

HAPPY PAPER PIECING :)

New List February's To ~ Do's

*

UPDATE HERE  for January's accomplishments :)

*

*

Why not throw your hat in the ring as well?

Pig Tales and Quilts is hosting this motivational event.

See what you can finish or what continues to elude you!

*

I've Shown You Mine...UPDATE ADDED

*

I've shown you mine,

now show me yours! (If you want) ;D

*

It's a To - Do List, It's A Linky Party, It's Going To Be Down Right Fun!

*

***"UPDATE HERE!"***

Don't laugh too much but, for the second month now I've finished up my DQS,

packaged and labelled it and popped it in the mail,

and forgot to take a picture!

I'm hoping that when it arrives at it's destination (which should be any day now)

I can get a pic (I'm such a Homer (SIMPSON)!

 January blocks for my Northwinds quilt brought to you by the 

Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2013 (RSC2013).

These make up some good size blocks, 12 1/2" , so this should come together

fairly quick, I hope all going well!

*

Below is another block for the RSC2013 but just for kicks,

I may make this into a pillow.

*

*

This is also some fiddling about that could find life on the back of my Northwinds

or on the table as the start to placemats for my crew.

*

*

As my fingers fly stumble across the keyboard to have this post up,

I'm telling myself that I will get Mill House Inn quilted today come hell or high water!

Or in our case...

come the second "-43C, way to friggin' cold for the school bus to even start" day followed by

a teacher's day tomorrow!

My darlings have a 5 day weekend! 

So without further ado, I'm off to quilt and, all going well, I'll be able to add

this to the finished pile!

*

*

The last thing on my list was to organize a pincushion swap.

I've seen quite a few of these going on, so for now I think I'll shelf this idea for the time being.

I'm not completely sure of how to go about putting a swap together,

any suggestions would be appreciated.

*

I guess I didn't do too bad and I did finish some things that were not on my list.

February will be better! :)

Until the 28th of February then,

HAPPY STITCHING!

Thearica over at Pig Tales and Quilts  

is going to keep the motivated from the get go!

What will you gain?

The accountability to yourself to get those pesky things done and start something new,

maybe challenge yourself to jump in with both feet and try that project you've been tempted to do but have held back. Well now's the time to give it a shot

I'm not quite as adventurous as Thearica with 5 but I think 4 projects is doable for me.

Sew...what about you? Are you up for a personal challenge? This is so much easier

than some of those new years resolutions I've tried and failed at over the years!!
