Bees, Quilt-A-Longs, & Pillows = Newest Addictions

Well I just joined another bee.  This one is a Christmas bee which is a good idea right???  I could use a Christmas quilt and May is my month.  That should be enough time to actually finish a quilt before Christmas hopefully!  Erin from the 12 month bee I am in is running this one too.

Here are the blocks I just finished for Erin who was using Impressions by Ty Pennington:

Block 1 Wonky Log Cabin

Block 2 Wonky Log Cabin

The bloggers running Block-A-Palooza are having a giveaway to celebrate the 1st half of the quilt-a-long being done.  Make sure you enter a picture of your blocks 1-8 for a chance to win.  Here's the picture of my first 8 blocks:

Me thinks that the orange & purple one will have to go.

This is a phone picture of a pillow that I'm making for my LO using Miss Print's tutorial that can be found on Sew Mama Sew.

Not Your Traditional Log Cabin

Wonky Star Top

I added the borders to my wonky stars quilt from Kerry's Quilt-A-Long.  Originally, I was going to box it in with a scrappy border but I think this looks better.  What do you think?

Now to sandwich it and get to quilting!  I think I'll do like Kerry and just outline the stars.  Speaking of Kerry it's her blogiversary and she's celebrating with a giveaway so jump on over to congratulate her and enter!

I was excited to get home last night and find that the mail man was my friend today.  He brought me all of these pretties:

Impressions in Chartreuse by Ty Pennington

Impressions in Spice by Ty Pennington

This is also the same fabric Erin from the 12-Month bee sent.  I'm so excited to work on her block later today!












I can see some new pillows in my future with these prints!  You know since I'm a professional at making pillows now with that whopping 1 that I just finished!

I am so loving those Ukuleles right now!



Hope you enjoyed the eye candy for today.  Have a great weekend everyone!
