The First Week of 2016!
I’m playing long with Sandy and her One Block Wonder BOM. December’s block was a fun paper pieced design. Here is my little table topper quilt made from the block:
Back in October, I won a Fat Quarter bundle for particapating in the One Block Wonders, Soft Dreams by P&B Textiles. There are prizes each month, your name is put into the draw for participating by making at least one block. I used part of that FQ bundle for December’s block – making the table topper and back. I still need to sandwich, quilt and bind the little quilt.
I also finished piecing a t-shirt quilt and delivered it to the longarm quilter.
Family fun included a birthday party for my grand daughter. Oh boy! Did she ever love ripping the paper off of her packages!
And eating cake!
To-Do List:
- This week I plan on working on the quilt my daughter started and needs help squaring it up.
- I have an order for a pillow to match the t-shirt quilt.
- And I will take one of my WIP to my sewing day, either Dot-to-Dot or Curve it Up.
How is your New Year going? Hope you have started off with successes!
I enjoyed a blessed time with family over Christmas and New Year’s Eve and Day. Hope you did too!

Love your table topper!! I still have some scraps of the Soft Dreams….love that line!! It looks great in the December block and I love how you mixed up the colours when joinging your blocks!! Just beautiful!!
Started my end of ’15 and beginning 2016 by a complete cleaning of my HobbyRoom…..it was so needed and now I smile every time I enter the room!! Now that Christmas is away, I will start my 2016 Quilting journey clutter free and ready to soar!!!

Love that block and the way you used the fabric colours. Mine started out as the basis for a bag, and it grew. Now all I need to choose are the borders. it is a quilt!!! And believe me, I didn’t plan that at all. The bonus was, some left overs have been sewn together to make a sewing machine cover.

Those are beautiful fabrics and your table topper is gorgeous! Congrats on winning, I’m sorry I missed it if you blogged about that already! Happy Birthday to that beautiful grandbaby of yours too. I think tearing the gift wrap off of a present is the best way to open them. It makes it a lot more fun! LOL!! Have a great week!
