I know, I'm bad, been awhile since I posted here, but I am back again, with new pics to share! Updates mostly of things started, but not done yet, lol, my kind of quilting, I guess! First, here are my Dear Jane blocks! Top half are new, bottom half are my starter ones! Found some places with info on paper piecing them now, & all of a sudden, they have become fun & addicting to do! So here's the new pic, enjoy!

Okay, having to figure this out as I go once again, so bear with me on the pics & posting, lol!
Next update is my Farmer Wives Sampler blocks! Once again, I am paper piecing these now too, with more newly found info on pp blocks for these, & am much happier with how easy they are working up! These are 6.5in blocks right now, the DJ ones in first pic are 5in, in case you are wondering. Enjoy!
 Okay, next pic! I love quilts done will all one shape, not sure why, but I seem to be drawn to them, okay. So, recently, online, I saw this lovely Applecore shaped quilt done scrappy & I was hooked! Found an applecore template from a quilt mag article I had saved & off I went! I have cut 64 shapes, so far, & started sewing them together in fours. Here is some I have done so far! Not bad, but want to keep adding to them before I start sewing the foursome blocks together. It will probably grow to lap size or couch size quilt by the time I stop, but this is another ongoing project, as I get the urge to work on it, so look for more progress shots as it continues to grow! Should be fun & I have plenty of stash & scraps to make each piece different too, lol!.. Enjoy!...
Okay, one more pic! This one, I call my inspiration board, & these are things I have played with lately, mostly hexies! I like to try out different blocks & play around. I have also found, having some stuff like this, hanging in my studio, around my working area, inspires me! So this is it for me. I also find out what I like making or not making, this way. I like all of this you see here, with one exception, that little mini dresden plate! I guess it's not my kind of block to make, just don't enjoy building them, & feel they are way to much work for what you end up with, so knowing that now, I am not doing anymore of them & am happier, just having decided that, lol! Crazy huh, but true, none the less!  Okay folks, that's it for now, & please feel free to leave any comments here on my blog! I love hearing from anyone & everyone who happens to come here! Hugs to all & see you soon again, I hope!
