Back In Quiltyland!

I have had to spend WAY too much time in Real-Life Land over the past few weeks :) I was SO happy to spend this past weekend back in Quiltyland!

Saturday evening I went to the ever fun and always party-like lock in hosted by my friend Vicki down at Tammy Tadd Designs. I was able to finish quilting the ticker tape mini we did at the Chicago Modern Quilt Guild meeting a couple months back. It's not bound yet, but I think it's SO cute :)

I also worked on the pieces for a new quilt for my spare bedroom. It's the "Greet The Morning" pattern in the Summer 2010 Quilts And More and I managed to find the exact fabrics! I am using Essex linen in white for the background.

On Sunday I spent the afternoon sewing with the SewMod group that my friend Paige put together. I used that time to continue working on the "Greet The Morning" quilt.

Last night I unfortunately had a severe bout of insomnia- I did not even go to bed until 4:30am. But I did use the time to pick the fabrics, cut the hexies and do the basting for my Handsome Hexies swap partner, so it wasn't all bad :)

Today I'm working on bee blocks and prepping my fabrics to send for June- I send for both the Buzz Cuts 2 and Scraptastic Bee groups and I'm so excited!
