March 16th - National Quilting Day!

Friday Night Sew-In was a success! 
I got 4 more crumb blocks sewn in the colour of the month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
These blocks will join the baggie of blocks that I showed on my design wall in January - click here to see them.
And today is National Quilting DayHow wonderful that I get to spend it at a mystery quilting class! Such a sweet treat for me! My quilt guild is hosting a "past presidents mystery" event for the guild. I spent part of last evening cutting up the fabric for the mystery and picked these springy colours to work with. Happy Quilting!

A quilting class sounds like the perfect way to spend national quilting day. Awesome orange blocks! Those are really going to wake up your finished quilt.

Hi,

I've just discovered your wildly inspirational blog! Wow! I am just a novice sewer, but my niece and sister are edging me closer to joining them in quilting! I am so glad to have found your site. Congratulations on your lovely work, and thanks for all the great links and info.

The oranges in your crumb blocks look so vivid - really nice! A mystery quilt for National Quilting Day sounds perfect. Definitely "spring-y" colors - look forward to seeing the result!
