A Picture Journal

We had a storm followed by a beautiful rainbow:

Our internet quit working because of the rain–I guess that happens in small towns.  So I made a Stashbuster #2 block:

Followed by 2 blocks for Kelly for the Sew New to Me VQB:

Still a no go on the Internet–decided to make a wonky star for the Scraptastic Bee:

Followed by another:

Then I made another pinwheel block–this one for the A Quilting Journey Round Robin Bee:

It goes with the starter block sent to me on the left:

A fabulous package arrived from Hawthorne Threads with some new Anthology fabrics:

And still no Internet, so I made a quilt top:

And made an embroidery block for a super secret project. =)

Amazing what can be done in a short period of time when I don’t need to check out any bloggy/flickr goodness!

    All so very awesome! Is that Bliss on the quilt top? Mmmmm, yum. Also love the embroidery block, that is so pretty. All of it, really!

    Please tell me your internet was down for, like, 3 days. This is a rediculous amount of sewing. I am feeling behind…..

    Wow! superwoman! Geez – I seem to get distracted way too easily…with or without the internet.

    I'm impressed! Losing the internet once in awhile is a good thing!

  12. Rachel Hauser says:

    That IS amazing! I pat myself on the back when I finish one block.

    Hooray for rainstorms! I did a babysitter exchange with a friend and got six Dutch pinwheel blocks done in two hours – would normally take me all day to do that with my kids around.
    Seriously love your rainbow pinwheel block and, forgive my ignorance, but I'd really like to know how to make that. Is there a tutorial out there that I'm not finding?

  14. Sherri says:

    Wow…think I need to stay off the computer today…love everything you finished!

  15. Tracey says:

    Would love the instructions for the pinwheel blocks you showed.
