Crazy Patch Quilt Blocks

I have begun to make crazy patch blocks to be made into quilts!  These are the first 5 of 16 blue ones I made... Somehow I forgot to take pics of the rest of them

These plus a scrap pieced long enough for the binding have been taken over by my mother who has the table space to put them all together and pin them for the quilting.

We will be selling these at a couple of local Pow Wow's for really a fraction of  what they are worth but if we can recoup some funds we're happy.

Those that don't sell I will use my original plans of donating them to shelters and for its for the needy at Christmas Time.

These are the 16 blocks I've done up for the next Crazy Patch block quilt.  I will leave it up to my mother as to what blocks goes where, etc. These ones I added a few center patches that have fairies on them as they were already cut from a project I was going to use them on and didn't.

 

 These quilt blocks are all being made out of the drawers for scrap pieces of fabric that I have sorted into colours.  The next one will be in pinks!

Day 11 & 12

All of these 12 Days of Christmas gifts have me spoiled rotten!

But I have to admit that the last two I've enjoyed the most.

Day 11

... eleven bits so charming.

How charming is that?!?1  as you can see sticking out the top I wasted no time in putting my new Ort Bag to use.   I just LOVE it!

Perfect complimentary colours to my living area as well... it's as much decoration as it is useful!

Day 12 

... ONE BIGGGGG SURPRISE!

And a big surprise is was indeed... and GORGEOUS!  

I have loved these fancy pincushions from a far for some time and now I have one of my very own.

and now I can share and know for sure that my Special CQ friend is as my second thought was.... Leslie!

Thank You Thank You Thank You... You have made this the best Christmas ever for me. :O)

CQed Lap Quilt for my SS Karen

Yesterday I finished off this quilt for my Secret Sister and got it in the mail. I hope to hear from her this coming week to see what she thinks of her final gift. This is for a group where we have one gal to spoil for 3 months at a time. :)On this quilt I lovingly stitched one and a half dozen buttons from the 3 tins of buttons I inherited from my grandmother's home after she passed away.

I should also point out that it's laying across my double bed and almost reaches each side. It's a square lap quilt approximately 48".
