Sew Out Loud blocks

Just last week I joined the Sew Out Loud (quilter's wordplay) Quilt Along group on Flicker...I can't resist paper piecing and the blocks they have are wonderful!

Here are my first 2 blocks:

Pin Cushion

and Cut

This is a very talented group of ladies who designed these paper pieced blocks...there will be 11 and then a contest for the 12th.  

Check it out!

One Thing One Week Challenge

I did it, finally caught up with my BOM.  Just in time too, another one is due this week!   

When I joined this BOM I loved these Annie's Farmstand prints by LakeHouse...so I had to do those.


But...I soooo LOVE BATIKS, so I also signed up for these.

But, I have to say, Annie's Farmstand  outshines the batiks!!!

Thanks for stopping and be sure to check out the other finishes at
