. I'm a bit behind, I don't have the new logo up...I promise I'll have it up for my next post...here are my goals...Turn this stack of fabric
into pillowcases for Hole in the Wall Gang...I did 5 this week and this stack will be 8 more...they sure are fun to do.Sunday's Best for A Year of Schnibbles
...I have my fabric picked...I'm using Civil War Tribute and a piece of background from my stash.Get Cameo cut out of this Birdie Honey Bun and Charm pack
...then I'll have to get to stitchin'...it's for Camden's 1st Birthday...can you believe she'll be a year old April 17th. Wasn't I just waiting for her to arrive??????Get month 1 done of the Civil War Tribute Block of the Month
...I flipped over this quilt...I wasn't going to get involved in any more BOM's (except for the next Fat Quarter Shop Designer BOM) but this one just kept calling my name...When I thought about my February goals I needed to finish the baby quilt that I cut last month...well, I didn't sleep very well night before last, went upstairs to sew for a bit and ended up almost finishing it...I just had to a couple of rows left to sew together...got that done yesterday and today I got the back sewn together...YIPPEE!
Done and so close to the beginning of the month. You know we have to sew faster this month...it's a short one!Katie sent me some new pictures today...you know I have to share...
I love their outfits...Katie's been smocking up a storm again. She's getting to be quite the seamstress...Hampton's shirt is a long sleeve t-shirt with an opening in it...she did the smocking and inserted it, with piping, all be herself. She smocked Camden's dress and her mom made the dress...I'm betting she'll be making a little dress any day now. There is a picture of Camden and Josh that just almost made me cry...it's the sweetest thing...I'll have to share it next time...Blogger won't let me do any more pics tonight. ACK!

That's a cute baby quilt. I'm doing the Civil War Tribute BOM too. I'm hoping to do my first block soon so I don't get behind on it. Good goals for February.
Awesome goals for February, Carol. I'll be cheering you on. :-)
The baby quilt is adorable and it's done.
Dang it you had to show the Civil War Tribute BOM - I can resist - yes I can. LOL
Your Cameos quilt is going to be wonderful.
OMG, OMG can those little people get any cuter???? And, I'm so excited that Katie is enjoying smocking - that's awesome!
You are one busy bee!
Those grandbabies are sure growing up. They are both soooo cute! I think that they look just like their grandma!!!
WOW you've got alot going on there. Love the baby quilt. That BOM is a complicated thing. You enjoy that. lol
Love Schnibbles. And I can not believe that little baby girl is going to be one already. Are you serious?????????? It does seem like you were just sitting and waiting.WOW.

My goodness you will have to sew faster this month! That's a lot of projects. I LOVE that baby quilt! The little ones are darling, and so are their clothes - such sweeties!
Very cute baby quilt! Love it! Can't wait to see your Civil War Tribute. I am being "good" this year and trying to stay away from BOMs (we'll see how long I last). Very sweet photo of the grands!!!! This month is going to be over before we know it!!!!
Holy Cow woman -- you better get off of this computer and get to work!!! Love the new baby quilt finish -- and those babies are just adorable. I love to smock -- you're DIL is sure doing a beautiful job!
Oh Carol...your little ones are growing up so fast! They are just adorable!
I can't wait to see all of your projects! I know that I won't be able to keep up w/you.
Have a good weekend,
I have been drooling over that Civil War Tribute quilt when I see it. I am glad you are going to do that. But wait a minutes. I will be looking at it all year and wishing I were making it. Have to think about this a little bit.
Smocking. I love little kids wearing smocked items. I played with it a little bit years ago. You can do some intricate designs with it. I hope Katie keeps it up.
A cute photo of the kids. And it is hard to believe that Camden will soon be a year old.
Lucky you're so motivated, as you have a lot to do!
I'm completely in love with pinwheels these days....I bet Mom AND baby love this piece....
You always have great projects...and even better...you always finish them all! So you're a great motivation for me! Those kids are just too cute, too!
what is the pillowcase hole in the wall for?
Is it for anyone?

How adorable...the quilts and the children!!! I need to learn how to smock!!! XXX
I can see why you flipped over that civil war quilt - it's awesome! I always hesitate on block-of-the-month patterns. I tend to get about 1/2 way into it and then I get DISTRACTED. Well, you'll get 'er done I know so can't wait to see it.
Great goals for Feb. I love the baby quilt. I've also resisted the BOM this time around. Those two little ones are so adorable.
Wow are you busy sewing! The baby quilt looks so cuddly and cozy, I love it.
