Here's my favorite block this week!  Love this little house...  It's block 12 of the We Can Do It Skill Builder Sampler from http://sewnbyleila.blogspot.com/  LOVE the skills I am building in this QA!

I also made the bonus block #2 using the waverunner design.



Here's where I am in the Duo Quiltalong.    I'm making a Christmas table topper.  There's still plenty of time to join at http://gapquilter.blogspot.com/ and/or http://contented.typepad.co.uk/contented/  I love my sewing skills on this block.  Everything is nice and even and square!  This fabric is from my garage sale stash finds.  I'm excited to learn how people hand quilt -- just a little though!  That's why I made a table topper.

Another set of instructions came out yesterday for the Victoriana Design Fabric Party QA.  http://www.victorianaquiltdesigns.com/VictorianaQuilters/BlockoftheMonth/VQDFabricParty.htm  Here's what mine looks like so far:.  (It's folded in half for the photo).

My name is..........

Kathy's Quilting Blog - why? Dawn from As Sweet as Cinnamon is asking just that question. She is offering a giveaway prize if you blog about your name and link up to her blog.

Not so original...  My first name is Kathy and this is my blog where I show my creative side.  I seriously started quilting in January, 2011, and wanted to document it.  New2Quilting was available in Blogger, so I took that.  My blog's name is not an exciting name as Distant Pickles or Flying Blind on a Rocket Cycle, or Tilda's Twisted Life.  Just plain Jane and to the point.  Thanks for asking...
