Yesterday was wonderful. First I found Jackie of
Canton Village Quilt Works' super tutorial for HSTs - see my post from yesterday morning. Thanks again Jackie!
Then I was off to
Quilting by the Bay for the Scrap Buffet. I was handed three Styrofoam boxes when I walked in the door. I followed the long line of customers to a very large table piled high with all kinds of scrap material in various sizes and shapes. The instructions were simple. We could fold, jam, cram, whatever all the scrap material we could get into our "little" Styrofoam boxes. As long as no material hung outside of the box the cost per box was $5.00.

| My NEATLY Folded LOOT! |
 |
| LOOT Spread Out! - Quite a Bit of Fabric! | |
|
My plans for the LOOT are some colorful mug rugs for an 8 year old. I am having visions of a very "sophisticated" tea party in the near future.
Off I went to meet with a lovely group of ladies who get together once a month to create. I did not take my machine this time. The visit was my first and I wanted to get to know everyone. We are scheduled for February 5. I will be there will all my quilting "thingies" - ready! I had a wonderful time visiting. The ladies are extremely creative!
And, I am catching up on the Layer Cake Quilt Along sponsored by
Moose on the Porch. I now have three blocks out of the five published.

| My Starry Starry Block! |

Sherri McConnell of
A Quilting Life designed the Starry Starry Snowblock. I fussy cut the center to get the adorable little bird where I wanted her. My HSTs yesterday's post are pieced into this block.

| My Basket Block! | |
|
Sarah Vanderburgh of
Sew Joy designed the Basket Block. The picture does not do my block justice. This one is my favorite so far. The fabric I selected fits the "basket." I have part of another block cut out. But I was getting tired and decided to stop before I did some creative cutting!

| Cha Cha Says She Has Had ENOUGH of the Quilting! |

Poor, poor kitty. She strongly dislikes me participating in any activity in which she is not the center of attention. Also, no is her least favorite word ... unfortunately, no is often required when Cha Cha tries her paw at sewing!
Remember the Be Mine Blog Tour starts today. See you there.

Now that is some fun loot...
Love love your blocks!!
I had Hamlet hanging off a quilt today as I was trimming it. That was after I had thrown him off the table as he was chasing the cutter!
Love your layer cake blocks, lovely fabric
Nice scrap hawl, and I love your star block. The bird is perfect.
Sounds like you had a wonderful and a productive day, even if Cha Cha didn't think so.
