So far so good

Well it hasn't been a week and I am posting again. That's a good start for the "blog more often" challenge. So how am I doing on the other challenges. Here is my update.

Today I had breakfast with Randi Sue. Mom was busy and couldn't join us. We met at Mimi's and had good food and a great visit. I found out her work schedule so maybe we can get together on a more regular basis.

Got the fabric for the 2013 Sugarblock BOM. Can you tell I like polka dots?

Working on the 2012 BOM quilt. Got the sashing all done. Now working on the 9 patch blocks so I can join the sashing.


Thought I should change the name of my blog to Kathy's Crazy Quilt Obsession. I found quite a few BOM I want to do in 2013.

I am doing the Sugarblock Club BOM. It is by Amy Gibson, the same lady that did the Craftys 2012 BOM. It cost $8.00 for the year. If you are interested here a link http://www.stitcherydickorydock.com/sugar-block-club/

I also found several on Craftsy that I am thinking about. They have a 2013 BOM class. You can see the finished quilt. Not sure I want to make this one. But I did sign up for the free class. http://www.craftsy.com/class/craftsy-block-of-the-month-2013/183. You can give it a look.

Also on Craftsy are 2 other free BOM. http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/quilting/home-decor/january2013bom/40232 , This one is a family tree. Looks kind of fun.
http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/quilting/home-decor/january-bom-2013/40260. This one will be a surprise every month. I signed up for both since they are free.

I am also looking into on that is $10.00 for the year. It is all star blocks and has me intrigued. http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/quilting/home-decor/lucky-stars-block-of-the-month-club/39705.

 So am I biting off more than I can chew? Probably. That's why the blogs should be called "Kathy's Crazy Quilt Obsession".

And just because Randi Sue asked for it. Here is a Christmas Eve picture of my Grand kids in the robes I made. Sorry for the poor quality. My camera was having issues.

I don't know why my comment didn't post before... Let's try this again!
I really like the star quilt, I say go for it! There's nothing quite like setting lofty goals :-) 5 quilts in one year? Why not?!
And of course the picture of the grandkids is adorable. The robes look great, too!
