This week I managed to lump 3, 15 minute quilt sessions into one and ended up with this - all of my pieces cut out for February's Threads of Memory Block. This block of the month is hosted by Barbara Brackman over at Civil War Quilts. February's block is called Mercer County Star for Susan Lowe Wattles. I'm really loving the funky green 'plaid' for the star points!

Remember, today is the last day to enter my 40 charm giveaway!
Comment on my belated birthday post to enter.
I receive Jamie Ridler's newsletter and this month includes a special e-book put out by various women bloggers on aging. I enjoyed reading a couple of the articles and plan to read more.

My Aurifil quilt top is still waiting for me to add borders to it. I figured out what to cut the weekend I got home from Teachers College, but that's about it!
I completely missed a February UFO - guess I will have to finish at least two one month this year.
This picture is perhaps a bad segue into a glimpse at Bonnie Hunter's Leader and Ender challenge for the year!
Here's a better choice! I used last year's Leader and Ender mini spools with my Quilty Barns to get this happy wallhanging.
This year's Leader and Ender (drumroll!)

Okay, time to get some quilting in this weekend.
I'll leave you with this final link to some great selvage sheep - did March come in like a lamb for you?
With Joy,

March arrived here with blowing and snowing and cold. I hope that means it will go out with warm, calm weather. One can hope.
ReplyDeleteLove your aurifil BOM.
I think you get a pass from Feb UFO finishing...you are really busy with school. ;)
Yes it did come in like a lamb for us, but only the first 24 hours! Back to just above zero temps again yesterday! Ugggg! Thanks for the links to Bonnie's challenge.
