My husband teases me that he can't enter my sewing room without my permission... where would he ever get that idea??

THANKS Kathy!! So much fun taking a peek into your sacred space!! I love it!!

April Quilt Meeting...

April Showers will bring May flowers... so they say. This was the theme for Round Tuit this month... our Round Tuit ladies are sooo clever!

Sweet treats from some sweet ladies... and again... my luck is holding, no finishing up projects for me! However, I should really try to get a few of these from the looks from my ever growing project pile in my sewing room!! 

So, lets take a look at the Round Tuit projects and see just how busy these ladies got! 

Beautiful, aren't they? 

**********

Next up was our tip of the month, 

She gave us some helpful ideas for removing lint from our mat and sewing room in general...

Progress in the BOM area this month...

I always regret not participating in these... they are always so much more adorable in real life than on paper! I can't wait to see them all at the end of the year... great job ladies!

Mystery quilt! Instructions... I am dying to see the end result of this fun easy quilt... if you have'nt started this one yet... you could easily catch up! Check out previous posts for all instructions!

SHOW AND TELL... 

 

As always so INSPIRING!!

This months class... SCRAPPY! Teresa Wilson and Jeri (me) taught this month... it was so fun coming up with ideas for the class... Teresa is profesh! WOW... what an organized woman!

ENTIRE quilt made from scrappy stash...

Teresa with her clear bin full of fat quarters... by color of course!!

Strippy block... with scraps, well duh!

Scrappy log cabin... compliments of Janeene, she didn't show until the class was over!

If you look close you can see ALL kinds of scraps in there, from Halloween to Christmas to Birthday! Wouldn't mind getting that quilt for my birthday!! Darling!

I was up next and gave the instructions for this CRAZY block quilt! It was so fun and QUICK to put together! Sorry... for the lack of pics, but I didn't even think of taking pictures of my self while I was teaching! .... I guess I'm OK with that;)
