Ugh!! I told you I couldn't wait!!!

I knew that I couldn't wait a year to finish this quilt!  lol  There's no way!  I'm way too impatient!  Well, because of that "lovely trait" I now have to re-do my two January BOM's!  Plus, I have to start all over with fabric selection!  ugh?!   Oh well, I do it to myself!

Anyways, here it is!  Here's my Wonky Quilt - as a tribute to the Pittsburgh Steelers! 

All that's left is the layering, quilting & binding and then it's ready for me to use!!

Craftsy Block Of the Month #2

As promised...  here's the 2nd block for the month of January over at the CRAFTSY site.  The instructor is the awesome Amy Gibson and if you would like to check out her personal website just click on her name!  I promise you won't be disappointed!

None of us that are signed up for Amy's class over at Craftsy are sure what our BOM Quilts are going to look like in the end and because I'm somewhat of an impatient person I think I'm going to create another set of these blocks for the BOM project and then just keep going with the "wonky" blocks I've started and get this Steelers Quilt finished!  I have a few ideas up my sleeve for some other crazy blocks and I'm looking forward to wrapping up in it while I watch the Steelers roll into the Super Bowl and go for that extra ring! 

 Here's a shot of both blocks together ~ Amy will be assigning two blocks per month and truth be told, she could assign two a week! They are so easy - and that makes it fun! Let's face it, quilting can be a little intimidating! But with Amy's instruction, it's more fun than not! 

I came to the conclusion some time ago that quilting is a lot like scrapbooking....  there's no right way or wrong way!  But rather, your own interpretation of whatever you're creating! Join us if you'd like!  It's FREE....  it's FUN....  and you will LEARN so much! 

Make sure you come on back to see whatelse I've got going on and don't forget to stop by in February to see the next BOM's!

Craftsy Block Of the Month!

I recently found this craft site and I have to admit - I  LOVE  IT!!!!  It's so inspiring!  The site offers various courses and I found a "Block Of the Month" course that is being taught by none other than the amazing Amy Gibson - she is definately a fresh inspiration!   I've been ckecking out her site and everything she creates is absolutely beautiful!  She makes it seem so easy, too! 

Each month there will be two blocks to make so to see the craft site for the "Block Of the Month" just click *HERE*   In the meantime, I'm going to share my very first "Block Of the Month" with you - keep the laughter down to a minimum!  lol  I've spent 3 days just trying to decide what fabric I wanted to use and I finally decided that I was going to use the Black & Yellow fabric I've been collecting - actually, everytime I see something in those colors in the remnant bin I grab it right up!  Yes, I'm a STEELERS FAN and this is my tribute to the  Pittsburgh Steelers!  It will be going with me everytime I go to the Steelers Training Camp and stand in line for hours just to meet the players! 

So here it is..........  Block #1........... 

Come on back to see the #2 block in a few days!  I'm trying to pace myself!  hahaha!
