Weather Vane

"Weather Vane"
is the next block in the 
2012 Designer Mystery BOM


It was designed by Barbara Groves and Mary Jacobson
otherwise known as "Me and my Sister Designs"
and I have finished sewing up mine this morning.

Here are my first three blocks so far. 


Santa Sack Swap

Also managed to get a couple more Xmas pressies ready to hand over to 
Shez at the Bloggers meet this coming Saturday.


I'm off  now to find my pins and pincushion.
I asked for help to "flip" the back room yesterday (where I am sewing)
in a hope that the space might work better and since then they have been missing in action.

No one is owning up to "hiding" them on me and I 
know they were her Sat night as I was using them.
hmmm ..... I could go buy more and while I'm there maybe some new fabric?

Have a great day.

  5. The blocks are looking great Sharon. Ooh lucky Shez, though I count a couple more than a couple. I hope you have found your pins and pincushion. I have four yarn needles which keep disappearing, I can only ever lay my hands on one of them!!!

  7. It's going to be a beautiful quilt when finished. It has a really fresh, spring feel about it. Good luck with the pins, surely your family doesn't think you're sewing too much!?

  12. If it was my house, those pins and pincushion would be with all the missing socks. Where do they all go? Funny how nobody ever does it...by the way, your blocks look devine.

  14. Nice block! .....and then reading the title I realised I have it....just haven't stitched it! It was a weak moment late one night when I decided to join in the BOM and then I forgot all about it until I received the email asking for the first payment! This is about the extent of my buying this year as I am saving for my holidays later in the year..... I love the fabrics and seeing yours made up has prompted me to get going on mine before they all arrive and it gets to be a much more time consuming task! Might even start on the mystery blocks from a few years ago! I should make them in tandem....make one old one when the new one arrives.......
