Pure Boy Quilt

I finished my baby boy quilt a week ago and I thought I had shared with you.  But I didn’t.  I’m sorry.  I was also trying to be a little secretive incase the recipient was being sneaky and checking in on me.  But here it is…

I’m sure you may have seen it on flickr if you are part of the Fresh Modern Quilts group.  But as far as the specs.  I used Oh Fransson’s Charm Square Quilt pattern on my Pure Charm pack paired with Kona Cotton in Chocolate.  Complete with straight line quilting.  I really hope the new owner enjoys it.  So what have you been working on?

Citrus Star

Things like this are making me neglect my poor house.

But in my defense, being crafty is way more fun. The husband on the other had will probably not agree.  He’s been away to Anchorage for the week and well, our house looks like it’s been taken over by a 20 month old.  Her toy corner has now spread to the entire living room and well, there is a sink full of dishes that need to be washed, mostly sippy cups may I add. 

The Citrus Star is for the Scrappy Hoops swap, I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out with the colors but I’m glad I went with it.  The name?  Well, turns out the Kona cotton solids were Tangerine and Lime.

Well, maybe I should get some housework done.  I’m sure my husband would appreciate a clean house more than an awesome craft.  Then again…

Swappy Swap

Hi!  I’ve been absent for a while.  Maybe I’m not so good at blogging…But I wanted to let you know about a new swap over on flickr.

I’m sure you have heard about Heather at {House} of A La Mode, if not she runs a ton of swaps on flickr.  The current one is the Scrappy Hoops one.  Sign ups run until today.  So if you want to play visit flickr and sign up.  Here is my inspiration for my partner.

I can’t get my links back to the proper people to work, so please click the mosaic to get linked to the flickr image with credits.   

I hope to see you guys in the swap.  So what are you working on now?
