WOW! Time slipped away from me! Truffula Trees and Quitling

Hi Stampers and Stichers,

I'm so sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been quilting, and rearranging, cleaning here and there, organizing, and playing with those cute little grandkids of ours.  I'm trying to dress up the grandkids room. Their room just isn't big enough! They are taking over the basement! The toys, not the grandkids. LOL  Here's a few photos of what I've been working on...

A couple of truffula trees ...I'm going to decorate their room with crafty things from the Lorax. Next on the agenda is a wooden Lorax guy and his lil friend the teddy bear. The truffula trees are held up with black thread and those 3M command strips


Next is the Dear Jane quilt I've been working on. My friends and I are making 4 blocks per week. It doesn't seem like a great task but some of these templates are crazy!! Don't forget the easy patterns on this website and the easy template gudie to block building here.


Besides Dear Jane, I'm in the middle of making some blocks of the month for a friend. I am in a group with some friends and we decided to create our own BOM again. It was so much fun this year. 

A couple of the ladies wanted the same block again this next year so they can make their quilt bigger. What an excellent idea!

Last year mine was the card trick in light blue and light green. I'll share a photo after it comes back from the quilter. Along with a Riley Blake "wheels" tumbler quilt that I whipped out with 2 - 5" charm packs. With this fancy ruler and this crazy, fun tutorial, it was super easy. That was an easy project!



You guessed it! This year it is one color, next year it's the opposite. Pretty nice! This is the

Next is a minion panel that I'm making for someone. I can't say who as they might read this!! The pattern is here.


Well that's it for today's blogging. I have to finish doing the laundry! Boooo!

Happy Crafting and Have a great week!!
