With only a couple days left to finish up my January blocks for my quilt alongs, I've been busy.

The Not So Last Minute Quilt Along, re-hosted by
Cathy at A Quilting Chick features: Trees for January.

| Did you have one of those white or metallic trees back in the 60's (or was it the 70's)? Someone recently told me that they rapidly lost popularity when the Charlie Brown Christmas special cherished Charlie Brown's sweet little tree. |
This block is reminiscent and nostalgic of a magical time (childhood at Christmas).
 |
| My mom bought a lovely white tree and decorated it with pink and gold glass ball ornaments. Oh my it was beautiful! |
Here's my second Modern Tradition Charm Square Quilt Along block:
Snapshots Quilt Along
A great opportunity to receive a darling pattern and support St. Jude's Children's Hospital with a $5 (or more) donation. Still need to work on this one.
Quilt Shop Gal (formerly SewCal Gal) 2015 Free Motion Quilting Challenge After seeing some of the work the quilters are linking up, I decided to take this challenge.
 |
| This is a great idea because if it turns out well, you've not only practiced and hopefully improved your skills, but you'll also have something wonderful to keep or give away. Here I've used a frixion pen to draw on a design that after quilting, can be "erased" by ironing it. |

Hi there,
I cannot believe that we are both doing two of the same quilt alongs!
I started the flamingo at the start of January...the penguin's ready..now eagerly awaiting the next animall...in the meantime..I have been on half term holiday...and have bought and sewn...almost finished Quiet Play's Aussie animal one...with an extra 'lost' penguin on the back...as my daughter loved him so much!
Hope you are well. How's the Josephine quilt block completion coming along?...I am hanging on in there...I have got much better at getting the points accurately meeting..so it has helped...and then I discovered the inflight block quilt along by thetartankiwi!... I am enjoying it!....I might revert back to some more traditional blocks when all of this is over!
Best wishes
Wendy
