Works In Progress

Spring just makes me so happy! As much as everyone hates Daylight Savings, I for one love the fact that it is light for longer. It is so nice that Devin comes home from work and it is still light outside. It is weird to put Anna to bed when it is still light outside, but she doesn't seem to mind it at all.
With all of this sun and warmer weather I feel like I have had a burst of energy. I feel like I am getting more done. I run more, sew more, read more, clean more,...more and more. I like to think it is the sun and warm weather that is helping me doing it.
I thought I would show a few of my works in progress. I am happily hacking away at all of my sewing projects.
This is what I have done so far on my Crazy Nine Patch quilt that my ward has been doing. Yes, it is very pink. But I have so many quilts I thought it would be fun to have a special Valentine's quilt. I still have a few blocks to finish for it. But I like how it is turning out so far. It is a fun quilt to make. Probably one of the easiest quilts I've ever worked on.
These are a few blocks from a quilt that I am making from scraps of fabric. It is called the Depression Block. That is because you use lots of small scraps of fabric. It is a really cool block. Just fun to look at. I am excited because every block is different.
I have lots of other projects that are in the works but these are the ones I have been working on this week. Hopefully the sun will keep me full of energy to keep getting things done.

I love it! Your quilt is turning out great. What size of shoe do you need for Anna? Also what color?

I think your quilting skills are great - I recently went to a class on an Ispy quilt. The top is finished, now I need to finish the rest. I am getting into the quitinging again - maybe we should get together and share patterns (I'm new at quilting patterns)

You have such great ideas for designs. The crazy patch hearts is my favorite!
