August Calendar Girl Storm At Sea Finish.....

Just barely finished my August Calendar Girl this month.  Doreen designed a amazing  " Storm At Sea Sashing " for our blocks this month.  This is my favorite block so far  !  The sashing is all paper pieced this time.  The floral fabrics she chose for us is perfect ! The floral reminds me of the sea with its kelp & seashells. 

Have a wonderful & Safe Labor Day weekend !

Progress on Swoon and cleaning thru my stash.....

Little by little I am making progress on my Swoon quilt blocks. Today I finished this 4th block and now need to decide how many more blocks I want to make. I am making a block here and there when I am not working on my calendar girl block each month & my Vintage Rouge BOM.  I am so sorry I have not posted the last 2 weeks :-(   I have been cleaning thru my stash of fabric and listing alot of fall & Halloween fabric on Ebay .  I now have 25 listings on Ebay right now and I will be listing alot more again this week.

Block #4  My favorite so far

I need to decide how I want to lay these out. Do I make all 9  OR

Do I lay them out like this with a background block in between them ?

I also started making cosmetic bags for Christmas gifts
