The Beginner's Quilt Along

Pat Sloan is one lady whom i admire. I have been following her work for ages now. So when i heard she is hosting the Beginner's Quilt Along i was excited. The blocks would be all fairly easy to make and i am sure they will give ample practice to people who are new to piecing. I have my hands full at the moment so i am a couple of blocks behind however i hope to catch up over this weekend. Do take a look!

A New Quilt Along

I have signed up for the 36 patch quilt along with Amanda Jean. She is one of the few who inspire me to quilt. This quilt along is fun as there is no limit to the number of patches that one can make. I love this idea. I can make a table runner or a queen size quilt...whatever suits my fancy. I love the idea! This is supposed to be a stash buster quilt however i don't have enough stash to bust :). I am going to use some solids that i have. I hope they would be enough for a table runner to begin with.

On another note, i have signed up for the July FNSI. So i guess a lot of sewing is going to happen this week.

Friday Night Sew - In on May 20th

I have decided to participate in the Friday Night Sew - In after following Heidi's blog for a while. I love the concept however i hadn't really managed to keep aside a time specifically for the Sew - In.
I am going to my mother's place next week so i do not have to worry about completing household chores, cooking dinner early, etc. I only have to worry about whether my daughter would sleep early. I might skip her nap and take her to the park in the evening so that she gets tired. Kinda sneaky, isn't it? I guess not....i have to get her started on the 'early to bed, early to rise' routine. :) Her school begins in the first week of June so she will have to be up early anyway.

I have decided to complete my block for the Quilt Blocks Swap that i am participating in. Alternatively i also have a Stacked coins quilt in the pileline which i could complete.

On the Bella Parade Project, I am going to use solids from my stash. It is a big blow to my excitement but then i brought it on myself. :(

The old camera has gone and died on me again so no pictures for this post. Hope i can figure out how to revive it or atleast learn to use the camera in my cell phone properly.

Lazy......

That's all i have been for the past few days. The heat spell was broken with a couple of showers of rain however it is back with a bang again. The heat just drains the energy and the will to move.
The only time i venture out of the house is in the evening.
The upshot is that i have a vacation coming up next week. Lazing on the beach and doing nothing is on the top of my 'to do' list'.

I need a lot of energy and a 'trauma nurse' to carry me through the Bella Parade Quilt Along . Bryanna from A Blond Quilts and Shruti from 13 Woodhouse Road are hosting this Quilt along. I am still a novice and i think i am taking up more than i could do. However i still decided to go along with this because i do soooo loooove the colours of this quilt.
