The One Year Journey of a Quilting Blogger

Me, Julie, the Pink Doxie Mama

This post has been turning in my mind for a month. I joined the 2015 New Quilt Bloggers in June as a way to hone my blogging skills and meet others. We've covered the gamut of topics in our Facebook group, and I've enjoyed being introduced to both the new blogs, and the real voices behind them.  

Giveaway & Projects for 2015 OTWS Q2 Finishes

Happy Easter to all this morning!

This post is to document all my intended finishes

for the 2015 On the Windy Side Q2. Rules and such 

at the link if you'll join me. I'm almost 

pink-cheeked at all my WIPs, but there will 

be more confessions than just mine this week.

Above is a project I will be telling you about

this week. A Variable Star block that will 

become a pillow for a Giveaway at the end of 

the month, and is also my April goal for A Lovely 

Year of Finishes. The Pink Doxies Pet Project 

Show linky party is going on right now here, 

and will last until Monday night. We have the 

same link party each weekend you can link up to.

I will pick one random winner at the end of 

this month to receive this pillow. I'm happy

to ship anywhere in the world for you!

Are you interested in winning?

Enter the Pet Project link party for one chance.

*Each weekend means another chance!

Parties #14, 15,16, and 17 count.

Follow me on Bloglovin' -or- by email for another.

Following on Twitter gives you one more,

and Instagram another.

You can leave me one comment here on this 

post telling me how you're following, and I'll

count up the linky party entries at the 

end of the month and add them to your total.

All buttons are to your right in the sidebar.

this hexagon quilt.

Why can't I just finish it?

Sashing and backing fabric just 

ordered for this beauty from 

Modern Tradition Quilts Charm

Square Quilt Along.

Whew!

Okay, I actually have a few more, but

I will hold off until the summer quarter.

Actual link ups to the second quarter start

in a few days, but I thought a few of you 

might want some time to get ready. You

know who you are!

Let's bust those WIP's together this quarter!

Come on, Doxie Girls.

Let's go sew.

Stripping the Charm from Pre-Cuts

My HST quilt made with dark and lights is 
coming together. I'm working in my kitchen for 
extra light and table space, and I should have the top 
done early today. I've learned oodles about 
matching points and diagonals, and overall 
it's been a real education in construction 
'Do's and Don'ts.' I'll wait to give you 
all my notes in the finish post.

Fa-La-La-La-La, and I'm Not Done. Are You?

I showed you this little quilt top a few weeks ago made with a Merry Go Round charm pack. The fabric designer is Nel Whatmore for Freespirit Fabrics. It's become a favorite after using it, and one I'll replace for my stash. Very girly and romantic, but modern, too.
