My husband being supportive of anything creative found this the other night, thought I would share...I love the water looking one

Finally Finished!

I'm almost up to date on the blocks. Still have January's and I'm finished. Here's Amy's finished blocks and the other blocks I've completed to date. I better get hopping since February is MY month!

Traditional Tara

Blocks for Traditional Tara!  What fun to get so many pieces of fabric in our little bag.  I love, love scrappy quilts--the more fabrics the better.  Scrappy quilts are fun to put together, they always make me happy when I am sewing them. So this on was right up my alley.  What an awesome heirloom quilt this will be for Madison.  I can't wait to see the finished masterpiece.  Thanks, Tara--I had great fun making these for you!

Chevrons For Amy

Amy...sorry for the delay but they are done and delivered! I think I want to make my own chevron quilt, these were pretty quick to put together and they should look really awesome once the whole set is assembled.

Whoops forgot to mention...

Ladies, I forgot to mention that I sent enough fabric for everyone to do two squares. The black and white are already roughly cut for the two squares. You will just need to square them up for the right size it calls for in the pattern. Thanks!

So here is the pattern for January. I have mailed out the fabric today. Don't panic you will not be responsible for any of the appliqué-I will be doing that myself. Just put the white fabric in the middle square and leave it plain. I am going to be cross-stitching different family members in each square for a heirloom quilt. The tan side strips, in the picture, are going to be black. All the measurements are included in the pattern below and if you click on it it should enlarge. So you should each receive a piece of white and black for the middle and the sides as well as a ton of different colored scraps for all the little squares. I have included around 20 materials each and I would like it if you could use as many unique pieces of patterned fabric as possible. Just like in the pattern shown I would like their to be little to no repetition. If you need to supplement with fabric from your own stash that is fine as long as you stick to the bright color scheme that is already happening. My goal with this quilt was to use as much stash as possible and see if we can create something beautiful for my little five year old. Happy sewing! Just a tip for any of you ladies that haven't done patchwork style before-exact measurements are critical. If the measuring is wrong the pieces will not line up together. Any questions please let me know.

Thanks, Tara

You will be getting your January stuff a little late!

Ladies,

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. I am in charge of the month of January and I want to start off by saying that I am sorry but you won't be getting your fabric on time. My plan was to mail it out mid-December before all the Holiday madness but due to a death in my family, and some extenuating circumstances that didn't happen. I have been away from my home with extended family for the last three weeks. I do have the fabric in envelopes ready to mail. We will be returning home Jan 3rd and I promise to get them mailed off as soon as we can pull our lives back together. I will get the pattern posted up ASAP. Thanks for your patience and happy sewing.

**Special note to Amy-I am sorry that I have not got the December block to you. For the same reasons stated above it just didn't happen. I promise to get down to it and get it to you. Sorry and Thanks.
