Grassy Creek Center is Together! from The Modern Diary

Hazel and I made her Mama a birthday butterfly with her little feet.  Hannah loved it!  It was a nice surprise. Linking Up with SoScrappy!  
Made my RSC Challenge block for February--Pine Tree Point in yellow.  Hazel was here at the time so it took a long time to sew this one block!
My friend Andrea sent me this handmade card.  So pretty, I had to share it and say Happy Valentine's Day to all of you!
Finally got motivated and worked on Grassy Creek!

The entire center is together and I am happy about the colors.  Next up ...

Red Button Quilt Company and some UFO's are done! from The Modern Diary

Several years ago Barb and I found a cute Little Red Button Quilt Kit and decided to each make one.  That led to making one of these cute things each year!  They are fun little quilts.  Some use my scraps, and others were little kits.  
This one is really small.  

I finished up the quilting and binding on this one the other day.  No masterpiece (those hearts, lol) but fun to make.  I decided on this colorway instead of just reds and pinks because I already had the log cabin done and left from the itty bitty blocks.  Pattern is ...

Mystery Progress Continues--and rejoining the Rainbow Scrap Challenge! from The Modern Diary

Stopped in to see Hazel last week.  She loves her tummy time!  Learned how to play Sylvion and it is my new favorite solo game!  
Grassy Creek's reveal came out....paused from it and....Sewed up the clue for Morewood Mystery, looks like candy.  Next clue in a month so it will be waiting.

Lots of ...

All Good Things November! from The Modern Diary

Hazel is as happy as we are for a female Vice President!  Herstory in the making!  There were some tears at my house.  I hope our country starts coming together again soon.  
Still reading the Once Upon a Book Club boxes.  Some of them I resell when I am done with them.  They are a bit pricey but I really enjoy them so I am going to keep it up for now.  The Halloween Spooky box above was really good and I will find and read more y that author.  The Halloween Sweet box was too corny for me though ...

Chunk Churn Dash, Easy Breezy and a Whole Lot of Other Stuff from The Modern Diary

I pulled out my leftover blocks to see what I could use to make a bunch of Christmas stockings for the step grands, honorary grands and grands.  I have lots of stockings in progress now but no pictures yet.

Found these churn dash blocks left over from I do not know what in my bins.  Could not find another project with this size churn dashes on my blog so no idea why I made them.  I need to make at least one more in order to complete a tiny top....or make more so I can have a baby size ...

Endings and Beginnings! from The Modern Diary

Got some flowers for my fifteen year anniversary with Kathy.  Put them in a depression glass pitcher and have been enjoying them all week.
Finished City Sampler---almost six years to the day from when I did the first block (according to my Facebook memories!) and am super happy with how it came out.
I followed one of the book layouts even though my colors did not always match those in the book exactly.  Came out alright!
The past two years have had us doing lots more board games and recently I have discovered solo gaming and have been enjoying that ...
