New ebay goodies and finished quilt

Happy Monday everyone. It is a beautiful day today. The sun is shining and the temperature is in the high 30's. I took full advantage of today as it is my last day off work for 9 days. Not sure how I'm going to handle working 9 days in a row.  I'm thankful to have a job, but I was so looking forward to having more days off. We usually slow down for a couple of months after Christmas, but this year is different. We've been busier than usual. I decided to try to get alot done in the last couple of days and I have. I finished Cody's eagle quilt last night.

I also had a goal to finish my snowball block quilt top by the end of the week end and I can check that off my to do list. I finished it yesterday.

Today was sewing day with the girls and I completed this quilt top. I cut the pieces before I left and finished the top before heading back home.

It will look similar to this eagle table topper when I am done. I made this one also. I one I am currently working on is for Jane (Cody's second scout mom). I need to finish it before his Eagle Scout Court of Honor in 6 weeks.

This Spring basket was completed also. I will be listing on ebay this afternoon.

Another finish being listed on ebay. A cute little spring rabbit on a crackled box.

This little pin is from a Patti's Ratties pattern and will also go up for sale on ebay.

Well, I better head on over to ebay and get these goodies listed. Have a great week!!

Snowball blocks and a sneak peak...

Happy Wednesday everyone!!  I have to show you what I have been working on the last couple of Mondays. I have been working on a snowball quilt. I love the snowball block, but do not enjoy making them. They are easy to make, just time consuming. I need 256 total blocks to make my quilt. I started out with 128 large dark squares and 128 large light squares of fabric. Then I needed the small corner squares~so I cut 512 small light squares and 512 small dark squares. Then I had to draw a diagonal line across all 1024 little squares.

Then it was time to sew the small squares to the big squares.

Next you cut off all four corners of the block and press the seams open.

After all that cuttin, sewin, cuttin again and pressing, you end up with 256 finished blocks. Now comes the fun part~laying them out on the floor and sewing the blocks all together. I hope to have this done by Friday but I have to work, so we'll see.

In the meantime, here is a sneak peak of Cody's Eagle Scout quilt. I finished quilting it yesterday. All I have to do to finish it is rip off all the stencil paper and sew on the binding. I hope to have this finished by the week end. I will show the finished project as soon as it's completed.

I best get crackin!! I have a lot to finish up and need to check out what you wonderful ladies have been up to before shuttin down the ole computer. Have a wonderful rest of the week!!
