April Fat Quarter Friends Swap Goodies

Yesterday I got my April Fat Quarter Friends Swap package from my partner!!

The leftmost fabric looks like a panel with some sassy ladies on it! I am pretty sure that I have some half yards of fabric that coordinate with the rightmost fabric. Woo hoo!

Happy Friday, and here's to getting some ACTUAL sewing done this weekend!

Treat Yo' Self!

I was lucky enough to be chosen as one of the winners for March in the Lovely Year of Finishes!

I won a $15 gift certificate to Contemporary Cloth!

I was shocked and so excited! I decided to treat myself and get a jelly roll of Architextures, because I've been loving all of the projects that everyone else has been making with this line!

It arrived last night and it will be continuously ogled until I decide on a project for it. I might just leave it on my end table until then because it is so pretty.

(And if you don't watch Parks and Recreation, which you should, this video explains a little bit about treating yo' self.)

Spring Baskets

Since I didn't make it out to get a batting or spray adhesive, I worked on making some more scrappy baskets for my stash.

Still no plan on what exactly to do with them, but I think I might make a few baby quilts out of them.

Here are my new ones:

Good luck on your new week!

April Lovely Year of Finishes Goal

This month, I want to finish my Lucky Squares quilt.

I am going to attempt to machine quilt it myself with my walking foot. I think.

I did already get backing for this one, so I just need a batting! And a lot of patience. Wish me luck!

Check out what everyone else is working on this month!

April Stash Bee Block

This month, our blocks are going to Carol of Fun Threads, who is also the head hive mama for our hive!

She also chose the same block as Kelsey from last month, except in red, green, and white.

It was (again!) a fun block to make and it will look really cool once the blocks are all together.

I also sent off my Fat Quarter Friends Swap package for the month to my partner! Hopefully she likes what I sent her! I think any new fabric is always fun, so I'm excited to get anything!
