If At First You Don't Succeed.....

.......just start something new.  Well, I am the "Serial Starter" after all!

Here's the start to my Toddler 101 class project. And noooooo, I'm not any closer to finishing my Baby Steps project.  However, once I'm done with this one (snicker, snort, snicker) it will end up being a lovely pillow with pipping.


I guess I'd better get moving on this one since I still need to piece these rows together and put the border around it before Monday.  I would also like to have it pinned so that I can start the quilting process, but I'm not sure if I will get that far since I won't be anywhere close to my sewing machine this weekend.

And speaking of starting something new, I received a lovely note from Peggy Lee along with her copy of "ABCD" by La-D-Da.  She was so kind to loan it to me and I will be starting this one as soon as I can decide between two different color schemes.  Oh, and Peggy Lee, I promise to actually finish this one.  I just hope that those frogs that you had got lost in the mail!

Have a great weekend!

Happy Stitches!

Nice of her to lend you the chart. Stitchers on the whole seem to be wonderful people!! Love your pillowtop. It's lovely. What color piping are you going to use?

Great stuff you've been up to lately! I LOVE the quilting that you're getting into. I've been having some fun piecing myself, though I DO wish I could be less perfectionistic about the quilting! I really want to machine quilt...and do it perfectly. lol!

But, hand quilting is really fun!

Also, nice finish on your homespun elegance piece. :D

I love the colors in your quilting piece. That's something I've always wanted to learn to do but I'm not sure I need another hobby that includes fabric :-)
I think the frogs have found their way to my house so you might be safe for a bit.

Ah, quilting....yet another craft I'd love to get my hands on. Will have to wait till the kids get a bit older. Great job.

I love the colors of your quilt block. I have one that's all triangles that I'm trying to get the nerve to start in on. I can never seem to make my points end up in the right place!
