Here's the "Buzz!"

 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,
