a baby and her quilt

Don't you love this photo? This is a happy baby girl and her brand new quilt (my robot quilt). She looks like she really loves it! Thanks to Annette for sharing this with me and letting me share it with you!

giveaway for the new year

Here is my fist giveaway! And hopefully the first of a few this year! Up for grabs are a pair of the easy to make, ever popular mug rug. As you can see, one has perfect binding and the other...not so much! But they would love to be in your home this year! Comment here with one of your New Year's resolutions and I will choose a winner on Tuesday, January 10 after 7 PM EST. Thanks and tell your friends!

my birthday block

Here is one that I worked up, this pattern is called Shooting Star. The block finishes at 12 inches. I did mine in fun novelty fabrics, but I think it would also look great in bright modern prints, so it is up to each quilter on which they will choose. The star points are solid black, but any black would be fine as long as it is the same black throughout the block. *A note for the members of my birthday block group who are reading this: if you don't have a good variety of prints, just leave the block in rows of three and I will piece them with other units.
