Wonky pinwheels

 I'm going crazy making these!  5 1/2", 3 1/2" and 2"
 This one starts off with 2" squares.  4 blocks by blocks equals a 6 1/2" block
This one starts off with 3 1/2" squares, 4 x 4 = 12 1/2" block.  The first pic shows two large blocks on the left starting off with 5 1/2" blocks, 4 x 4 = a whopping 20 1/2" block.

So that's what I've been up to.  Would love to see what you're all working on.
And a big hug sent out to my dear friend, Pokey.

I am a winner...

 Isn't my new handbag pretty?
 I commented on JaLaRu's blog: http://jakoblaylaruby.blogspot.com and won it!  Brenda sent it to me from Tennessee.
 The same day the handbag arrived it became my everyday bag.  I LOVE pink and brown together, and the lining fabric is so sweet.  Look at the beautiful clear glass button.
Here's her label, and she made the perfect-sized inside pocket for my cell phone.  I've been showing it off to all my peeps.   Brenda, thank you so much!!!

Wonky Pinwheel

 I did these blocks from a tutorial Natalie shared on her blog:  http://greenleafgoods.wordpress.com/2013/03/19/wonky-pinwheel-quilt-a-do-good-stitches-finish/
They are lots of fun to make, and easy!

Just thought I would share.

Kaffe Fassett beauty

Folk Art Quilts' window in Wakefield, Rhode Island.  I thought you might enjoy them.






Some of these pictures were taken through the glass window, thus the blurriness.



I don't know if all of the fabrics in these quilts are Kaffe, but they certainly are gorgeous.  I asked permission of Evie to put the pics on my blog. She and her sister run the shop.  It's quite a temptation to me being only about 2 miles away from work.

Lucky Stars quilt blocks

That's the title, and the pattern is by Terry Atkinson. 

I've made 22 blocks.  I think I need one more.
Lots of Kaffe Fassett, Philip Jacobs, some batiks, etc.
I've been doing some sewing, less blogging, obviously.  I think about blogging almost every day, but priorities get in the way.
I do hope you are all well.  I take some time most every day to check out what you all are doing through Google Reader, which I guess is soon to be a thing of the past.  I'll have to get up to speed soon.
Take care, and talk to you soon, I hope!
