Today is the last day you can post a comment for the giveaway  for the  " Grow Your Blog " party, so please click through to this  post  and say "Hi!"  I will announce the winner tomorrow I am linking up the the 2013 NewFo Challenge from Cat Patches! So, here's what's been going on with me in January.  Started and finished the top for the  Sweetheart Mystery .   Started and finished a wall hanging for the  " Project Quilting " at Persimon Dreams , which I'm probably not going to do again.  I have too much on my plate to stop and do something start-finish in one month. :( Finished Baltimore Halloween, all but the eyes, spider eyes and legs and the owl's feet.  Sewed some Dear Jane blocks.  Did three steps of Easy Street (at least some of the three steps).  Finished my pot holder and mitt. I have three more sets to do.  Finished t...

Linking up to WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced . I need to sew some more blocks together and then sew the rows and I'll be finished with my Sweetheart Mystery  from Carter Quilter.  I have a lot of other projects I'll share later. Hopefully, I'll have some more steps done on some of my projects. Maybe I'll get out my camera, my iPhone is lacking in the clarity issue.

Ugh! So, this little tool is my new best friend and it was such a snap to rip out seams!! It's the Dual Blade Personal Trimmer ! It won't replace my old best friend, "the seam ripper," but it is the handiest little tool, EVER! Get one and you will see what a dream ripping out a seam can be. I didn't have much time today to sew, but I got at least my 15 minutes in on my Country Cottages . Need to take a photography class. LOL It's nearing the end of the month and I need to reassess my goals for next month.  Don't forget that if you need a quick way to access your files from any device, please help me out with opening a Dropbox account and using this  link  so we can both benefit by getting ex...

It's BOM Rehab by Sinta and have added her link on my sidebar. Meet on Mondays and I'd love to see this little group grow, so if you can, please join us. I did almost finish my Baltimore Halloween except for the eyes, spider eyes/legs and the owl's feet. Here's a pic: More later.

I'm really enjoying visiting all the blogs from the " Grow Your Blog " party and if you've stopped by to enter the giveaway, please click through to this  post .  I did some sewing over the weekend and worked on some new projects.  I finished this Dear Jane block B-8 Water Lily. I'm really working hard on getting two blocks done each week.  I'm also working on this Sweetheart Mystery  today, but I didn't get many steps finished. I opted to do the HSTs first, so all I have left is the bigger pieces.  Not really a mystery now, but it is easy and fun.  This is the Sunbonnet Sleuth Mystery that is more modern and they are really growing on my, quick and easy and 'clean' looking.  Still trying to organize my studio. Installed more bins and need to decide some furniture issues and straighten and I'll get more pics for you.  Don't forget that if you need a quick way to access your files from any device, please hel...

One of my points isn't quite right, but in the overall scheme of things, when it's in the quilt, not sure I'll notice. Letting this one go. I did B-8, but I did it in the same fabric, so I need to re-do it. So careless. Sigh. I do like trying to get two blocks done in a week, but sometimes it's hard to fit them in. More soon.
