mesh pot scrubber

I read about making pot scrubbers from mesh bags on a blog the other day, and could hardly wait to purchase something in a mesh bag so I could make one.  I can't remember which blog(sorry, I read so many), but they used an onion bag, and mine happens to be from a bag of mandarin oranges, but of course it makes no difference : )  I like to "go green" when I can, so this is an easy way to recycle!  OH, and it has Tiger's approval.

mug rug swap

I received two cute mug rugs from The Quilting Gallery's mug rug swap.  I sent two mug rugs to Finland and then mine came from Australia!   This was such a fun swap.   I know I am going to enjoy my mug rugs : )  Thank you so much, Karen P.

paris flea market

I have a bunch of fabric from Paris Flea Market  by 3 Sisters for Moda.  I have started playing with some of it and this is what I have done so far.  I have made a couple quilts from this fabric line already....   one for my husband's administrative assistant as a comfort quilt during her chemo treatments, and the other to a sweet girl for graduation from high school a few years ago.   It is such a lovely fabric line, and even though it is not new, it has a look of many current fabrics and the color is wonderful.   This quilt is my own design, and I haven't decided how large it will be...I am going to leave it on my design wall and keep an eye on it for a while : )

wednesday's flower

I need a lavender flower for a mug rug for my daughter so this is what I came up with : )  I also thought I'd show you my first flower, the big one!  I made it a few years ago and some day I intend to add more 30's hexagons to it.

find the odd block

I have a nice vintage blue and white baby quilt that I use as a wall hanging.  It has four blocks and one of them is different from the others.  Can you find the odd block?  The pictures below reveal the answer : )

This is the odd block : )

free quilt magazine

I have discovered a free quilt magazine called Quiltposium.  It is a free publication by Sew Many Places
and it is full of interesting articles and the Spring issue has 24 quilt patterns to download!  Sew Many Places is a travel site for quilters, and the magazine does include the current tours, however, they are also interesting to read.  The website to view the magazine is www.Quiltposium.com.  I am not affiliated with this magazine, I just thought some of my fellow quilters might be interested : )
