Well, here we go. Let's roll her out and see what got done! And don't forget to check out everyone over at Lee's for WiP!
First I finished block 4 for Embroidery 101 with Clover & Violet. Here are all four.
I made a cute little loyalty card holder from this great tutorial.
I also got more done on my red and white hexie quilt. I now have a center design and three secondary, smaller designs. I am almost done with the fourth. Here are the secondaries so far.
I finished the top for my Christmas quilt.
I went on a quick trip to Tuesday Morning on, well, Tuesday morning! While I was there, I noticed they had some Fons & Porter quilting tools as well as some EZ tools. I picked up a few things.
See that purple fabric? My neighbor told me yesterday that she keeps forgetting to give us an invitation to her youngest daughter's 4th birthday party. I asked when it will be. Um, Saturday. THIS Saturday? Uh, yeah. So I got to thinking, found the purple fabric (her favorite color) and came up with an idea for a quickie quilt. After just a couple of hours tonight, here's my top.
I'm going to post a quickie tutorial for this one tomorrow so check back! It would be great for a jelly roll. And I'm turning this one into a quillow with this tutorial!
Oh, and remember this block?
Stay tuned in the next week and I'm going to post a plan for a quiltalong based on it. Don't forget to check back in!

I'm excited to see your plans for a quiltalong -- I really like that block! :)
Yay! Quiltalong! I've been shopping my stash for fabric.
Yeah! The quiltalong is almost here. I have been saving some civil war stuff for this one! School will be back in session sew sew sew!
Your embroidery is very cute. I haven't embroidered in a year or more, and I don't know why. It tends to be much quicker than quilting, and very satisfying.
Your loyalty card holder is just adorable! Love that fabric.
Oi, I can't even think about doing Christmas things yet. I love your Christmas quilt! You do great work. Thanks for sharing it.
Have a great week!
I really love those red and white hexies! The quiltalong sounds interesting!
You've been a busy girl! :) Love the Christmas quilt top- as I knew I would. I always love when you need a quilt last minute. The mind starts racing through a million easy options. I like the purple.
Wow you have been busy this week. Love the red and white hexies and the great patterns you are making with them.
I love your block, I'm looking forward to seeing your plans for the Quiltalong but not sure whether I will be able to join in.
Those hexie patterns and the embroidery are great! And I love the card holder, I think I need to make something like that to hold some playing cards...
