Happy New Year Everyone! 2011 has come and gone! Now it is on to new things and maybe some old things. I would first like to show you an old thing that I have been working on in between my Hop To It blocks. This is a free BOM from Dawn Heese of Linen Closet Quilts. I am all caught up with what she has shared so far. This is not the way the blocks will be set. I just put them all together on my design wall so you could see them so far. I think we have four months left of this BOM.
Something new I made is the Blogger's BOM that was designed by
Pat Sloan.
Another new thing that I am participating in
Building Houses from Scraps. The goal is to make one a day but I am only making one a month. So I will have a miniature house quilt. I have an idea for the sashing which I hope have done with the next house I build.
The new year also brings new BOM and we can always expect a great from
Jenny. I have done many of her free BOM and enjoy doing them so much. Go over to blog and get the newest one for 2012.
And who doesn't have tons of scraps. I have a big bag full that I keep under my cutting table. I am going to following along with this new Sew Scraps Along sponsored by Jodi at
Pleasant Home. She will have different bloggers show ways to use up those scraps.
There is definitely no shortage of new things to do for the year. Have fun creating.
With Passion,
Carrie P.

Carrie, I love your Hartfield blocks! It looks so bright and cheery. Can I steal your photo and share it on my blog??
I think it will be another year of handmade goodness from you. Looking forward to seeing the progress on all of your projects.
Looking good! Good luck with all your new projects in the new year!
What beautiful blocks! Thanks for sharing Jenny's BOM..it's beautiful. Happy Stitching in this New Year!
I really like your idea of doing just one house a month , I may be able to handle one a week even but one a day , don't think so. They are rather fiddly to make. Lots of interesting project on the go !
Just love that BOM your making from Dawn! Fantastic I say!!! Oh and that little house...cute!! Did you paper piece or hand piece it? One a month is doable....curious as to what you have in mind with sashing of course.
So many projects in blogland this year....love it!
I love the Linen Closet Quilt Blocks. I love visiting blogs this time of year and seeing all the new projects and It's so tempting to join on some of them.
Love the Hartfield blocks Carrie - great fabric. And the houses always catch my attention.
Happy New Year, Carrie! It looks like you have lots to keep you busy in the coming months. I look forward to seeing all of your beautiful work! :)
I'm loving the beautiful fabrics you've chosen for your Hartfield blocks. They are looking lovely!
Lovely bom, the colour look so fresh.
Your little house is just gorgeous.
Will have to have a look at Jenny's new bom.
So many wonderful things you are involved with...FABULOUS start to the new year! It is nice to have so many directions to go in, isn't it? Happy New Year!
In stitches,
Teresa :o)
I love each and every project!! Oh, more time in the day please!!
I just love all your projects, Carrie! I especially like the colors in the Linen Closet Quilt! I can't wait to see all your finishes!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Carrie!! Gorgeous blocks!
So many wonderful on-line and off-line BOMs to become involved with! If only I had the time to do them all. The best part is that I shouldn't need to buy any quilting books for years! Happy New Year to you too, friend.
I love the projects you are working on. Can't wait to see more. Hugs
Love the BOM from Dawn, the fabrics are so pretty.. I may have to stop over there and download the patterns if they are still available. Happy New Year Carrie!!
Thanks for all the links Carrie. Most of these I've not seen. Lol, there is no way I would make those tiny houses a day, good for you to choose 1 a month.
Thank you for listing these, Carrie. I haven't seen the scrap along and plan to work on this one too. What fun!
So many tempting thing to do-- I'm having trouble keeping a lid on it all! Love your house block - is it the 3 inch version?
I already have a huge list that I want to do and won't have time. LOL, but that top one really really intrigues me. Hope she still has them all posted. Off to look!
I love your Hartfield blocks. Wish there were more hours in the day to stitch too! So many wonderful projects out there. Thanks for sharing some of yours.
