I am.....

Yes, I am.  

Jo from Jo's Country Junction Blog is having a Stitch-Along with this Waxing Moon Designs pattern.  I began on March 1 and finished it on March 13.  About 22 hours of stitching time.  The Stitch-Along was to make two pumpkins a month.  I couldn't stop as I was enjoying it so much.  The finishing will be done when I see what she and her Stitch-Along partner do.  It will be made into a small pillow or pincushion.

The center block for Heartfelt is slowly moving along.  What I have left to do is the flower in the middle.  Then onward to the remaining blocks.

I was at a loss last week as to what to make.  None of my WIPs interested me at that moment.  

I do need a new hot pad for my tea pot.  I looked around my cave and saw all these bits and bobs that I needed to get rid of.  I just haven't been able to toss them out.  Articles on crumb piecing have been showing up on the internet and so I began.

This was fun mindless piecing.  I think that I have the process down.  At first, I was fussy on making sure the shape, corners stay square.  Then I said, "Why?!".  Just sew it together and then cut the shape you need and sew the left-over sewn bits together to make an even bigger bit.  Eureka!!  Something from nothing bits.

May your week coming up be wonderful and calm.  I will link up to Slow Stitching Sunday at Kathy's Quilts.
