Happy International Quilting Day!

Today I am attending an online guild event to celebrate quilting. There will be classes, keynote speaker Meg Cox, door prizes, vendors showcase, and a quilt show. And I'm participating from the comfort of my own sewing room! This is certainly something we never dreamed of prior to covid, and now it is a reality. 

I'll also be sewing some yellow scraps for my Rainbow Scrap Challenge projects as time permits. I started a new mystery project this week simply because it started with yellow flowers! It is part of the March into Spring event hosted by Buttermilk Basin.


The first step was to make these 5 flower blocks. The second step has already been posted, so I am hoping to get that done today.



I also made some progress this week sewing yellow ladders for my Bitcoin quilt. Next week I hope to show you that my yellow ladders are completed and sewn to the navy/purple/aqua/green section of the growing quilt top.

Sounds like a fun day ahead! And I love those yellow flowers, too. A Spring mystery quilt project sounds intriguing - I'll have to go check it out!

Happy International Quilt day! Sounds like you have so many fun quilt related events to enjoy. The yellow flowers are so bright and happy. Yellow can't help but brighten up a project.

Your block looks great. I found day 2 but not one. Can you still find it online?

Great yellow flowers. Look like sunflowers to me! Perfect!! I keep thinking I should do a Bit Coin top! Hmmm??

I like your yellow flowers, and I can't wait to see the Bitcoin project with the yellow added. But I have to say I laughed aloud when I read that you had started another mystery. Of course you have!! ;)

Most days seem to be sewing days, dont they. But it's great to have a special International day to share all around the world. Love your pretty yellow flower blocks.

Those flowers look like so much fun, Kathy and love the little ladders. I can not wait to see them with the other colors. Have a lovely weekend.

The shape of the flower petals - so simple but yet just makes the flower so interesting. Lovely!!

Love the asymmetrical feel of those flowers. Should be a fun mystery challenge to work on.
