Back to School...Less Sewing

I have been very busy in the last few weeks. I was standing in a wedding and started back teaching. It's been a busy few weeks; however, I did manage to get a little time to be in my sewing room. I started off by setting my sewing machine back up and organizing my room a bit.

Then, I was able to start working on a quilt for a dear friend of mine. I am using the Stash Stars Pattern from Quilt it...today. I did modify some things slightly since I wanted my stars to be all one colour. I picked all sorts of purples for the stars and a beige colour for the background.
Here are a few pictures of my first couple of blocks.

 

 

I have also been working on a quilt block exchange with my sister at Jada's Quilting Adventures. We are both making a Mosaic Tiles quilt. I have started to cut and prepare her blocks. However, I can not post pictures just yet until she receives them later this month.

I am very excited to be sharing this project with my sister. It's going to be fun to receive the squishy packages every month!

 

I received my Kona Pewter fabric for my background, and a yellow fat quarter bundle to do some of my 5" squares. I decided I wanted my Mosaic Tiles quilt to be yellows, blues and greens. I also got some pink and purple fat quarters for my sister's quilt blocks.

 

 

 

I love how Sew-Sisters added this little charm on my fat quarter bundles that say "Made with Love"

 

 

 

I hope everyone has a great sewing week :) Enjoy and keep quilting ! :)
