Skipping Squares quilts

I have made two quilts using this quilt pattern by www.cluckclucksew.com.  The first I made for my mother-in-law for her birthday.  Her favorite color is yellow so I chose a really pretty yellow print and then used both a yellow and white solid.  After I laid out the blocks, I named it the egg yolk quilt - you'll see why....

 Here is the finished project.

The other quilt was made for a precious little boy named Caleb.  From the extra blocks I made a fabric storage box for the nursery.

Annual craft day project

Each year Libby and I host a craft day on the day after Thanksgiving.  This year we had a great project that we found on Pinterest.  We painted 2x4 blocks and decoupaged scrapbook paper onto them to create these cute home accents.

Here are a few of the completed projects -

This set is reversible so it can be used for Christmas and then all year round.  I took this set to our Bunko Christmas party and it was stolen until frozen.  Definitely a big hit.

My husband even got in on the fun and made a set for his Man Cave.

My daughter-in-law, Jessica, added a cute clothes pin to one block so that a picture can be added.  Jessica also made this cute reversible set for a Christmas gift for her Mom.  Love the leopard.

Another reversible set for Christmas with the family name and wedding date on the reverse.

The possibilities for these blocks are endless.  We also plan on using 4x4 blocks on some future projects.

Catching up!

Oh my.  It has been nearly one year since I posted anything on the blog.  Luckily I have had some crafting time over the past year, just not the time to post about it.  I had several projects for Christmas this year and one of the most fun was making "Click-It" Bags for my nieces and nephews.
