The day has almost gotten from me. I had hoped to get the post done this morning but things just kept coming up. I have several things to share. First I got another block done from The Raspberry Rabbits. I decided to leave the embroidered flowers off my block.
I put the finished blocks on my design wall. I have cut out the background pieces and I am busy cutting out the sashing squares. Once I get all the sashing sewn on the backgrounds I will work on cutting out the wool pieces for each block. I am linking up to What a Hoot, BOMs Away.
I am joining a crochet along going on Fiber Flux. We are going to make a cowl together. I have chosen this white yarn and I am going to make it for a friend of mine. It looks like it will be pretty easy since I am new to this. She has some great tutorials on that last several posts showing basic stitches.
I have been practicing my crochet by making some dishcloths. The orange and red are for my #2 son. I made them to match his Fiesta ware The blue one is for my daughter. I plan to make her some more. I love that yarn. I also made a crochet cast iron handle cover for myself. I plan to make a few of these for my son since he has several cast iron pans. I found the directions for the handle cover on Ravelry.com.
During the "It's all about Me!" blog hop I stopped by Marlene's blog, Stitchin by the Lake. It was fun to see each person's version of Amy Bradley's pattern. You can see here that Marlene made a really good self portrait of herself. Marlene was having a giveaway during the blog hop and I won her giveaway. She sent me a jelly roll of Blackbird Designs fabrics. I love their designs. Thanks so much Marlene!
Tomorrow is Worldwide Quilting Day. Sew Happy Me has designed a really cute doorknob hanger that will be available on her blog tomorrow but if you click on her blog you can see what it looks like.
Will you be quilting tomorrow? I plan to work on my rabbit quilt.
Last but not least is the winner of the Ebook by Margaret Bucklew. ANudge from A Quilting Reader's Garden is the winner of the Ebook. Congratulations!
Thanks again to Margaret for asking me to be a part of the book tour. I learned some new things.
Hope you get a chance to quilt this weekend. Besides sewing I also plan to visit all of the bloggers who linked up to "Nothing But UFOs" the first of the month. I will stopping by to see how you are doing with your UFOs. I know some of you have some finishes.
With Passion,
Carrie P.

Your Hannah and Harrington quilt is looking great , you are making great progress. Congrats on the win!
Hannah and Harrington are looking good. I'm going to have to start that one once I get a few UFO's finished. Hugs
Yes, I plan to sew tomorrow. I'm taking a Sue Spargo workshop next week and have to prep my project. Time is running out.
Love the square sashing on the bunnies. And that jelly roll looks beautiful! Can you use that one on another UFO?
H&H are wonderful! your always do fantastic on these BOM! Love your little crochets that handle is cute too.
Congats on that win too I know you will create something lovely.
Can`t wait to see your finished Row by Row!
Such sweet rabbits. I just bought a cast iron pan and need a gripper for the handle. I'm wondering if the heat comes through the crochet? It looks like something I might be able to manage to make. Your cowl will be pretty in white. Then your friend can wear it with anything.
Your rabbit quilt is progressing so nicely! Thank you for sharing the crochet along link, it looks like a fun project! You've crocheted such lovely and practical gifts for your kids.
Congrats for your win too - that is a beautiful fabric line!
Carrie,I am so impressed with how far your crocheting has come - I look forward to seeing your cowl from the white yarn.
Happy Quilting Day
your H&H block is beautiful!
You're doing a great job with the crocheting! If you knit, the Mason-Dixon ballband washcloth pattern is so fun (my kitchen is full of them)!
Your rabbits are looking so sweet, Carrie! I'll be watching for the cowl - been thinking about making one, too. What a great idea to make dishcloths to match Fiesta! My dishes are Fiesta, so I'm getting some ideas here ;>)
Cheers!
Saw your celtic quilt on Quilting Gallery - I voted for you!! Good Luck!!
Lovely work here . I do enjoy appliqué but it takes me forever! I signed up as a follower too. Hope when the changes come I don't lose you.
Carrie, you are doing great with all of your projects. Thanks for the link to that most delightful blog, Fibre Flux! I hope to find time to check it out more fully. Keep up the good work! (Congratulations on your win!)
Raspberry Rabbits is coming along so nicely. I like that block without the flowers.
You have a ton going on! Love the rabbits :)
You have been, and continue to be, busy with a great variety of projects.
So happy to know you are learning crochet. It's fun, isn't it? But even more amazing to me is learning that you are STILL WINNING! Oh my gosh! You are most certainly the most winningest person I have ever heard of! I've kept track of my wins over six years, and it's about 16. You must have at least 50, by comparison. Such a lucky person you are! I hope you buy lottery tickets now and again.
