Block of the Month

I created a goal this year to actually sew more.  Can you imagine!?  As a shop owner and long arm quilter, it's a rare occasion that I make time to sew something for myself but this year I'm doing it.  What little time I have been able to spend sewing has rekindled a love of fabric and some stress therapy.  When Sherri McConnell of A Quilting Life posted that she was doing a new Mystery Block of the Month this year I decided I'm in!!!  I chose a beautiful fat eighth bundle of Nest fabric I had just received as a pre-release on Sample Spree and untied that pretty ribbon ....

And chose a couple of fabrics for the January Block -- Wishing Ring

The blocks will finish at 12", unfinished 12 1/2".  I can't wait to see how this all comes together!!  If anyone wants to join in, it's not too late.   Visit at http://www.aquiltinglife.com/2018/01/quilting-life-2018-bom.html to get your free download of January's block.   Choose at least a fat eighth bundle or scraps and let's get the party started!  Send me photos of your blocks at olieandevie@gmail.com and each month I'll post the finished blocks to have some fun and see what fabrics you are all using. 

Have a blessed day and find some time to do something you love 💘💘💘
