Carol Doak Mystery Step One

Here is Step One of Carol Doak's Second Mystery Quilt. I hope she posts Step Two soon.

Now I have a RWB swap and more Carol Doak BOMs to work on.

Embroidery Placemats

Ok, I have finally worked on my machine embroidery. I took a class with Roseanne from Viking, located in the Joanns in Colonia NJ. I made four placemats and four napkins. I could not finish all these in one class so I hung out with Roseanne at Joanns over the weekend. It was fun. Sewing and chatting.

Carol Doak Lottery Block

Here's my June block for the Carol Doak Lottery.

Carol is providing a free mystery quilt pattern. I still have to pick my fabrics and cut them per instructions. I do have my patterns printed out. I think that's what I'm working on today.

Can It

One of my online groups, SewGoodFriends has a swap going called the 'Can It' Swap. We're swapping items that we can fit into a Lays Potato Chip blue canister.

I hope I can figure out how to properly post these pictures. I'm posting the items I received from Dee (Arkansas) and another pic of the items I sent her. I made a draw string bag and put a necklace in it and made a case for reading glasses. I coordinated the fabrics, the button and the glasses. I hope Dee likes it.

Carol Doak 2cond BOM

This is the May Carol Doak BOM. This is the second BOM that Carol has offered. She's quite generous. Unfortunetely this is the first block I have done. I believe this started in October/November of 2008. I'm in the process of catching up.

I'm so happy. I'm back to sewing in my quilt room again. Yippee!

I listened to the audio book, 'Emma' by Jane Austen.

Here's a pic of a Springy colored block for the Carol Doak Group's May Lottery block.

I like the colors. I'm sending this one out for the lottery. There's a chance I may win 20 blocks. Time will tell.
