I put away the Folk Art Christmas Tree for now -
Folk Art Christmas Tree - HERE -
Folk Art Christmas - by Cindy Taylor Oates - (c) Taylor Made Designs -

I'll pull it out again on the 25th -

On the 25th of each month -
Until the end of the month -
I plan to work on a Christmas project -
One of my entries in the LTRTCWSA - 2013 -
Leisurely Turtle Race To Christmas With Squirrels Allowed - 2013 -
The little “Race” that Linda - HERE - and I started - HERE -

A couple of days a month -
And the 25th just sounded right in my head - ;))

Anyway - as we all know -

This month we have TWO Holidays -

St. Patrick’s Day on March 17 -

And Easter on March 31 - ;))

So - last month - when I chose the fabrics -
For my Valentine’s Day Sudoku Quilt - HERE -

I went ahead and chose some fabrics -
For a St. Patrick’s Day Sudoku Quilt -

And an Easter Sudoku Quilt -

And then I cut my 9 stacks of 9 fabrics for each -
And set them aside -

Easter - 9 stacks of 9

My FAVORITE fabric is one that I chose -
For the St. Patrick’s Day Sudoku Quilt -
I asked my bloggy buddy - Julie Fukuda - HERE -
And she said that -

The writing is Japanese. It contains both Chinese characters, "kanji" and Japanese phonetic alphabet, "hiragana".

The color is PERFECT -
And I just couldn’t resist -
I HAD to include it - ;))

I pulled out the baggie and “cheat sheet” -

After making two Sudoku Quilts -
I decided to assemble this one a little differently -

Rather than lay out all of the squares first -
I chose my squares as I went along -
And chain-pieced them -

Block #1 - #4 - and #7 are done -
The rest are ready to go -

So today I should be able to get the blocks made -
The sashing and cornerstones attached -
And the top together -
And the borders on -

At least that’s the plan - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

Progress Report - 3/1/13

I’m still messing with the Machine Applique -
On my Folk Art Christmas Tree - HERE -
Folk Art Christmas - by Cindy Taylor Oates - (c) Taylor Made Designs -

I was hoping to get all of the applique done by the end of the month -
As my February entry in the LTRTCWSA - 2013 -
But that didn’t happen - ;))

You can’t really tell from the photo -
But I have the Angels done -
And the Stars -
And the Reindeer -
And the LEFT-Hand - ;))

All I need to do now is the Bow -
And all of the Red stuff -
The Birds -
The Circles -
And the Hearts - ;))

=====

And those dang emails keep coming -
Got another one leading me to this page - HERE -

Now why would I want to spend $189 -
To listen to a sales pitch? - ;))

But then again, it’s probably just me - ;))
