Where has the time gone. I was going to try to keep up my Sunday night posts but time keeps whizzing by way too fast.
This morning I was able to finish the borders on my Saltbox Sampler. This was one of few quilts that the borders actually measured what the pattern said it would.
I am all caught up with Fat Quarters Mystery BOM. This easy block gave me fits. Sometimes the easier blocks give me more grief than the ones with a zillion pieces.
I finished the embroidery and applique on block 3 of "Merry Merry Snowmen".
Ranette and I decided that we are going to copy Temecula Quilt Company's new BOM and use our stash. We are doing the Civil War Diary quilt in 6" and 3" versions. We are going to shoot for a block a week.
Joy, Ranette and I decided to join in the new online BOW. It's called Grandmother's Choice. I am going to keep my blocks simple and use two colors only per block.
Joy also challenged me to finish my Farmer's Wife. I am going to try to get one done per week. I have designated Friday to work on all my block of the weeks. Here are the last two I did.
Joy also challenged me to finish last years. Civil War block of the week. I saved all the files before they disappear and got busy.
I am all caught up with my "Comfort and Joy" BOM. Next month I start the borders. It looks like this may be finished before Christmas.
Well, that's it so far. I am going to try to keep up with my Sunday evening updates so I don't get too far behind.
I hope everyone has a great week!

I like the house quilt. Especially like the roof fabric you used for the green house.
I haven't even cut out the parts for this month's section of Comfort and Joy and it is a big one.
You have really made some progress Yvette! Of course I love it all :)
Oh where do I start, they are all beautiful! Your Civil War Diary, it that the older pattern by Rosemary Youngs? I think I have 80 out of 121 of those blocks finished...just another UFO that needs to be finished.
Have a wonderful and Blessed day

You never cease to amaze me - so many beautiful projects. Wowzer.
Good grief woman - do you get a lot done. I'm glad that I didn't miss this post. I just saw that G. Choice quilt going on and if I didn't have so many things on my plate I'd start it.
Great projects - all of them!!
Wowwww! I think I need to sew with you. Maybe I would get more done! Love everything!
You always get so much accomplished, Yvette!!!!! I just couldn't believe all the gorgeous photos!! LOVING your Saltbox house!!!
I still don't know how you do it, all so wonderful!
LOVE everything your doing. You have been busy as usual. I see on your temp thingy that it's 68 this morning there. Are temps cooling down finally?? I sure hope so for your sake. We are done with the heat around here. And I'm celebrating!!
Have a great weekend.
Your projects are always so great. I love those Merry Merry Snowmen.
I am in love with all your quilts! I love Civil War quilts/fabrics & your blocks & quilts are right up my alley! Beautiful work!
I love all the projects you're working on and your fabrics are devine. Especially love the saltbox sampler I've been looking at that book trying to resist buying it!
Your blocks are wonderful and well....your quilts are sooooo like I want to come to your house when you are not looking and take them (but I didn't say that).
Oh Yvette, how perfect it all looks,you must have so many wonderful quilts to dream away on. How nice the Merry Merry Snowmen is now towards December!
Happy Sewing :-)
You make me want to start a slew of new projects too! What is it about Fall? I seem to just want to overflow my quilty-to-do list.
So many fun projects, Yvette! I love seeing what you're up to. :)
Love Love all the projects you are working on! I recently bought the book "Simple Graces" and would love to have the " Simple Charm" book also. Your Saltbox Sampler and Comfort and Joy BOM are adorable.
Wow! That is a powerful amount of work Yvette! Well done. I need to get back to my FWS too. I've been working on Sylvia's Bridal Sampler instead. I have the Civil War Diary book but didn't like the names of the blocks!
I've been missing you. No posts from you on the blog in a good while.
