Schnibbles...failure...

Well I guess it's more of a revised plan than an actual failure. I sewed the first two rows together and of course I had one flipped the wrong way. Arrgh!



So now I can make a table runners.








That or I guess I could break out the seam ripper. Yes, I do realize October is almost over and I am still fussing with September's Schnibble. I have not even purchased Cindy Lou Who yet. I may not even purchase it. I may just start fresh with the November Schnibble and hope for the best. Yes, that is what I will do. Right after I flip a coin as to what to do with this mess.

Thank You Ms. Lola!

I won this lovely notebook cover made by Lola. I blogged about it here. Thank you sweet Lola! There is a major bonus. Lola sent me eight, count em, eight lovely fat quarters of Mill House Inn by the lovely Joanna of Fig Tree. I feel like I am the Quilty Queen of the day.


If you have not been to any of Lola's blogs, treat yourself by going here, here and here. Lola has also been on the Moda Bake shop. You can find those posts here and here.

Blogger's Quilt Festival- Fall 2009




Thanks to Amy of Park City Girl for hosting another Blogger's Quilt Festival. I can't wait to see all the other quilts and read their stories.

I don't know the name of this pattern. It was a group effort. Me and about ten of my closest Quilty Pals swapped fabrics and each made ourselves pretty much the same quilt. We all had our own take on the same pattern different borders, bindings etc... For number of years we all got together on a regular basis. We even went on retreat every year for a long time. Lives change, people move, home situations change and children grow. So we do not often get together as a group any more. I am just glad to have a reminder of the years we spent sharing our lives and quilting together.

Happy 90th Birthday Granny!

That is my Grandma, the third one from the left with the skinny legs. She was born in 1919. She is a fabulous woman! I am so proud of her and am so glad that she is still alive and kicking.

Love,
Melody

I have not...

disappeared from the face of the the earth. I was on an unplanned blog break. All is well on the home front, now. So back in to my studio I go.



I did mange to finish two projects for Charming Girls, too bad I did not post them in time. I made the superhero cape for my Mama's little friend and my siggy block for the Civil War Block Swap. I do not have a photo to share of the cape. I did not however finish my Schnibbles project. I am still on the trimming of the flying geese stage. I hope to finish it soon.

It is going to take me a couple of days to catch up on all my bloggy friends posts. Wishing a Happy Fall!
