Is It Monday Yet?

I sure don't have a lot to show which is really weird because I have been working my bum off this weekend....mostly on a project for work....I can show you itsy bitsy pieces of this one...


So there you go...some pieces!!!
And this will be part of it...


I sat at the machine all day..... working.  I did have to leave to go to the grocery.  Gah!!!  Why does my family expect food in the cupboard?  

Last night I worked on a little improvisational quilting for my upcoming class....


I like this fun little block done with paper foundation piecing....not so much my fabrics.  It was late and I was just grabbing things to put this together.  I would absolutely not use the red and white polka dot.  I need to do this one again with a better selection of fabrics.

Molly has worked on projects for me the last couple of days...


This became a pincushion for the sweet Emily!!!  Happy Birthday Emily!!!


And this is for me :)  I want to frame it....thank you Molly!!!
Okay - I am pooped!!!
Good night All!!!

Robbing Peter to Pay Paul Improv.....

Wow!  Had an epiphany this morning so worked up what may be a very fun quilt on my list....
One of my all-time favorite blocks is Robbing Peter to Pay Paul...my only problem is the large expanse of space in the center for just one fabric....
So the answer may just be to "liberate" this block....


Then of course add some fantastic perle cotton stitches...


Yep...definitely kicks RPTPP up a notch....
Excuse the wrinkles....you can't imagine what this little block went through this morning ;)
The template for this block came from Marti Michell.

Happy Hump Day!
