We've had a busy day, but we've been having fun...went for a walk this morning and while we were walking Andy decided that we needed to clean the front porch. So as soon as we got home, out came the hose, buckets, Spic and Span, mop and rags and to work we went...now the fact that it's crazy warm here, everything thinks it's spring it was really very pleasant. He cleaned the porch and the railings and I did the rocking chairs and little table...well, you know how one thing leads to another. The black rocking chairs were looking a bit worn so out came the spray paint...now we have a clean porch and new looking chairs...makes me happy!
When we finished, took Howie for a walk around the neighborhood, I ran upstairs just as fast as I could before my man got anymore ideas. I needed to sew! Darlene and I were chatting the other day and I told her how much I loved her Round and Round...she said she had more charms and would be happy to send them to me...so Thursday they arrived..."Cherry Baby" charms...I never got any of that line and it's just perfect for my Camden Girl...so yesterday I cut for the large quilt and the small quilt...she'll get the big quilt and her Bitty Baby will get the little quilt. So today was sewing time...got the little one done.

This pattern is so much fun...when I first looked at the pattern I couldn't for the life of me figure out how it was going together...Camille is a very clever girl...this block is so much fun to put together, you must lay it out like a puzzle and don't flip anything (guess how I know that?)...goes together perfectly. I sewed a bunch more of the half square triangles (she has a trick for those too and it's really fun) so I'm ready to sew more blocks together. Tomorrow...
Kathie, from Inspired by Antique Quilts, asked to see more of this quilt...

I love that pattern!!!! Darlene and you are always coming up with the best ideas!!!! I have been cleaning and purging here..must be the time of year!
What a great Saturday! In contrast my husband tried to get our snowblower to start, to try to clear 8 inches of snow off the driveway. Hmm, not yet. He's working on it still (starting the snowblower, that is). I can't imagine Spring like weather, but sure would like some!
I love the quilt by Camille. So pretty.
Instead of sewing I've been spending time with my grandchildren who are visiting. What a treat.
love your new block! lucky you Darlene had some extra charms, she is going to love this quilt when your done!
ok I need to make that quilt too
LoVE the look of it and I think I may have enough strips to make it, now to find the perfect brown or black!
warm here too but NOT that warm! good for you getting all that done and some sewing time!
Kathie , off to order the pattern!
I love that friendship wreath pattern. There may be one of those in my future. We had a lovely day here too, and enjoyed it outdoors.
I do like the round and round pattern. It would be nice for my madrona road challenge mini-quilt.
When I saw Darlene playing with that pattern I fell in love too! Very sweet. Have a happy weekend!
Moose on the Loose looks great with the black!
Love your pretty quilt block, and the quilt is gorgeous!
Enjoy your warm weather- it's -26 F here today. A good day to stay indoros and keep the fire burning in the fireplace.... The boys were supposed to ski in a race today but it was cancelled due to the cold weather.... I really do miss Florida!
I did see this new quilt block at Darlene's too. It's a good one! Have fun with it! I hear you about just wanting to sew. But with weather so oddly warm it indeed feels like time for spring cleaning.
A pretty, pretty quilt for Miss Camden. WooHoo!!!!!
Round and Round is a really great pattern - so unique. And I love the colors in your Moose quilt. Have fun sitting on your nice, spruced up patio!
Ooh, Carol, really think your creations are beautiful. Darlene is so thoughtful to send you the charms and your little quilt is a cutie.
Have a good Sunday.
Envious of your weather...We are still tucked in for winter. Love the quilt. I remember the days of making Chelsey clothes and the dolls getting matching outfits or blankets.... Enjoy the good times...
Two wonderful quilts! You also have a few spring projects done already due to this crazy weather so there will be extra sewing time for you in the spring. (good planning!)
It was 13 below zero when we went to church this morning. I can't imagine being able to clean the porch and paint the chairs. : )
LOVE that Moose on the Loose quilt. May need that pattern (who NEEDS another pattern?)!
Gee, I like the dark quilt from a Carrie pattern. It looks like stairs going up.
I'm so anxious to make Camille's pattern, but I need to finish Brrrr first. Finish what I start, you know! Sounds wonderful to be able to get outside and do some sprucing up.
that moose on the loose is awesome with the black!
Howie is such a handsome dog!
Hi Carol, I just popped in to say Hi and Hugs... :o)
That little friendship star block is so darling. And I love the big one with the strips! What a cool design!
How nice to get your porch all spiffed up. Always a good feeling.
I am really loving the stars! I can't wait to see more! Your Moose quilt is beautiful and looks so cozy already!!!
