Hands 2 Help - Quilt #2

I made two quilts this year for Hands2Help that Sarah over at Confessions of a Fabric Addict organizes each year.   The first one is going to Happy Chemo and my second one is going to Quilts Beyond Borders.

I came across this super easy and very fast pattern "Happy Blocks" from Adrianne at Little Blue Bell.  

Size: 42" x 55"

Quilt Pattern: Happy Blocks by Adrianne

Fabric: A stash assortment by: Denyse Schmidt

Pieced and Quilted by: me

Thanks for stopping by!

Neutral or Not Bee

Last year I was part of the Neutral or Not Bee.   When all of the granny square quilts were popping up all over the web, I knew that would be the perfect block for my bee pals to make.  When it came time for my month, I shipped out assorted Denyse Schmidt fabric for all of them to make me the Granny Square block.

Thank you to my Neutral or Not Bee group and my mom who so kindly made the additional blocks to get me to 25 blocks.



I haven't kept a quilt that I've made in a few years, so this quilt is staying home!

Happy Quilting!

New DS Fabric

I went to my local Jo-Ann fabric store yesterday and found the new Denyse Schmidt fabric line - Richmond.

Aren't they a beauty!  So far my store has the above seven out of the eleven that Jo-Ann's has on their website.  They were 30% off this weekend plus I had an additional 25% coupon.......yeah!!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
