Canyon Twilight BOM

I'm one of those people who love to participate in Block of the Month and Mystery Quilt programs quite frequently.  But my biggest problem however, is that I tend to get involved in too many at a time, then fall behind in all of them, most of the time resulting in never get a single one completed.

However, the Canyon Twilight BOM, which was  previously offered online through Stitchin' Heaven, Texas' Premier Quilt Shop, is a paper-pieced quilt that I have a strong desire to see finished!  I have long-awaited the chance at making a paper-pieced quilt, but never had the confidence to try one until this year.

We are on our 3rd block/month (September) in the program at this time, so I'm not behind yet!  HAHA!

Here are my first two completed blocks so far...

 

                    Block 1                                                         Block 2                                    

Can't wait to start my third block!

Mini Heart Pillows!

With Valentine’s Day soon approaching, I’m making s few themed gifts for a couple of craft swaps that I’m participating in.  And one of my favorite things to make are these heart pillows from a pattern called Box ‘O Chocolates on the Sew4Home site.  This particular pillow is smaller than the original size so it’s easier for shipping to my swap partner.  I made it smaller by printing the template smaller.  So fun to make and give as gifts!

Brownie Poops

I can’t help sharing...I found a silicone poop emoji bake pan at Joann Fabrics on clearance, so I bought it. And I made these... I used a store-bought brownie mix and milk chocolate frosting.  The eyes are edible candies that I also purchased at Joann’s.  They turned out so doggone cute!
