Sleeve for an iPad Mini

I am doing a mini quilt swap with my cousin. We agreed to make each other a mini for the wall. I can't wait to show you what I'm making her. But I can't ruin the surprise. So you can't see it until she does.  

But I will show you this...

I made her this sleeve for her iPad mini. She's been meaning to make one for herself. But I beat her to it. 

One happy accident..  

I was so focused on getting the words level but I didn't notice what phrase was front and center. I couldn't have planned it better. Haha

Can't wait to get this package in the mail to her.

It's a swap!

The swap is FULL!! Thanks everyone! 

Do you love a good swap? 

I am facilitating a Low Volume Charm Square Swap!! I did one back in August and it was a huge success.

We only have a total of 48 spots. And they are filling fast. 

To participate: 

1. Leave a comment letting me know how many spots you would like. 

2. Buy 1 yard (for each spot you want) of modern low volume fabric. Cut into 48 charm squares. Mail to me and I will return 48 different squares to you. 

3. International swappers are welcome. I will PayPal invoice you for the return shipping. 

4. Mail cut fabric to me with a self addressed postage paid envelope inside for returning (unless international. Just include envelope with address). 

5. Ship to my by November 1st. And I will return by November 15th if all packages have arrived.

Bees are my friend

YSo I have been a member of the Lake Superior Modern Quild Guild for a couple years now. 

This year we started a Quilting Bee. In August we made these pineapple blocks for a member. The pineapple block has always been a favorite of mine. And I enjoyed making this block. 

BUT I quickly realized that a pineapple block quilt is not in my future. There are 49 pieces in that block alone!! 

Here are everyone's blocks together at the meeting last night. 

Sorry about the bad lighting. 

For September we needed to make a wonky diamond block. 

Not my favorite fabrics. But she asked for Browns and she likes batiks. She loved the block. 

Here are the blocks for the group. 

I am the queen for November. Can't wait.

How about you? Have you been in a Bee before? Did you like it?

Welcome Baby Jackson

I finished a baby quilt for a new addition to our family. His name is Jackson. 

He belongs to my stepdaughter. He is her 2nd child and I'm still not used to being called "grandma". It would probably help if they lived closer and we got to see them more often. 

Now I just need to box it up and get it in the mail.
