and they’re on the way out to ps i quilt headquarters.
And just so you know…that whataburger diet coke played a major role in assisting me with this project.
I got sorta tired of making this style of block after 101 of them.
I had thought that I’d finally start working on my Fig Tree club quilt, but guess what?
Same kind of block.
So I’m waiting a bit more on that one, and I’ll be working on the quilt for my new little niece!
OK, well last month I didn’t do so well on the “official” goals, so we’ll see how February goes.
1. Monthly Schnibbles – Sunday Best. I don’t know what fabric I’m going to use yet…
2. Finish quilt for my sister using Eden by Lila Tueller
3. Finish my siggy squares for the swap…I’ve done about 25% of them as of today…
4. Complete block 9 for the BOM when it arrives mid-month.
5. Cut out and piece the sashing for the BOM.
I think that I’ll leave it there for my official goals. It’s really not good to fail too much :)
I recently have been the recipient of some very GENEROUS gifts from people in blog land. It never ceases to amaze me how much people are willing to give away online. It really is outstanding!
This first fun package came from Kim over at Threadheads Unite! I really enjoy her blog, mostly because she does a little bit of everything, just like me! She and Paulette are working on a gorgeous sampler together this year…be sure to check out their progress!
Kim sent me this gorgeous kidney-shaped dish and French General journal. I plan on using it for a quilting journal to help me keep track of my projects and ideas. Thank you, Kim!
I also won a giveaway over on Beki’s blog. She is amazingly generous! This is the necklace that I’m going to be getting…only with a different word on mine. I’ll DEFINITELY have pictures when it arrives. 
Right now she is donating money from the purchase of each of her BLESSED necklace to Compassion International in Haiti. Isn’t it gorgeous? You should go and help her send some more money over…really…you should :)
Thank you again to both ladies…SO GENEROUS!!!
Have you noticed that my blog is called Suburban STITCHER?
Well, that’s because I started this blog as a cross-stitcher only.
But now I do so much more…
Are you stitchers still out there? Do you still read me…even though I have sort of abandoned you? I hope so…
I have been working on Peppermint Twist lately. I have enjoyed seeing this piece come to life and develop. Still love it!
I also finished a little doll quilt for our neighbor’s little girl who had her 2nd birthday last weekend. I still had some scraps from my Berry Delicious jelly roll…so it turned into a cute little “coin” quilt…
Finished size (before washing) is approximately 19 x 24.
I didn’t take a close up of the quilting, but I just stitched 1/4” in from both sides of the white sashing and also 1/4” in from the edges of the coins. Also I cheated…I sewed the binding on TOTALLY by machine.
Don’t throw me into quilt detention. I do know how to do it by hand…I just didn’t wanna.
well, sort of.
It shouldn’t affect you {or so they tell me}
My new website address is now:
I’m still hosted by blogger, just don’t have that “blogspot” part of the address anymore.
If you follow me on a reader, it should update automatically to the new address {www.suburbanstitcher.com}
If you don’t follow me on a reader, and you’ve got me bookmarked…please update to the new address.
Oh, and it might take a few days to get everything “settled in” so don’t worry! I’m on it!
I’m now done with blocks 1-8 of this block of the month. I keep telling myself that I need to work on the sashing…but I REALLY do! Maybe that will be on my “list” for February Charming Girls…
