For the 1st time ever...

Here it is! Yesterdays big plunge into my 1st QBOM (Quilt Block of the Month)! It's all neatly packaged and just waiting for me. The April block is towards the center of the quilt and it is the one with the 4 pineapples. This pattern is a touch primitive for me, but I have been wanting to learn how to applique, so here it goes! My goal is to have this one block finished by the end of April. If anyone wants it when it is finished, let me know-you have a year to think about it.

something new!

Today has been a day of new things for me! First, I attended a new quilt guild group this morning (which I've been planning to do for two years) , then I took the plunge and joined my 1st ever "Block of the Month" group (which I've been thinking of for two days). And to top it all off, Colette inspired me to start a blog (which I've given maybe two minutes of thought to-and great family picture, by the way. It's good to know I was one of those last 9 cards you were waiting to mail!). I've decided it's time to break out of my shell and start doing what I love!
