Bloom 5 & 6, Watermelon Q, Gabriella makin' cookies

This last week I have been working on a few different things.  I have finished up Bloom Block 5 and 6.  Block 6 just got released this morning and I finished it right away today, I am sure enjoying the handwork.  This quilt has 20 blocks, so 14 more to go, and I know when we are on the last one I am going to be pretty sad.  Hopefully Lori has another quilt in the works by June.  Well here are blocks 5 and 6.

I am also working on a smaller project from Kansas Trouble Quilters, it is a progressive wall hanging and it started with the star in the center, which I have done here.
 
Next was a border of blocks going around the star

 
The second to last border to be added was the flying geese, yup 44 flying geese.  I only have one more border to put on and then I can quilt it.  I have to admit that this wasn't a UFO, but it will get done, so it will count as a "finish"!
 
This Watermelon Quilt I made last fall and over the holidays my SIL, Grace quilted it for me.  I got it back in January, put the binding on and had it for the Tweeds Show-N-Tell
 
 
On Saturday night Alisha took Josiah to see the Monster Trucks, so that meant that I had Gabriella all to myself.  Well I asked her what she wanted to do, and she said "make cookies".  So we got out the ingredients and went for it, after about an hour we had made all these "MINI" cookies.  See the sugar packet to the upper left hand side of the tray, that is how little they are and very tasty.
Gabriella, decorating with the icing bag, she is only 4 years old.

Here is my little angel with her tray of cookies!

Here is the tray of cookies and that little sugar packet I told you about. 
 

 I do have two new patterns that will be going up on my Craftsy site very soon, I will post a picture here when they are up.  It is so nice to finally have some time to sew.  What are you all working on, e-mail me, send me pictures or leave me a comment.  Have a wonderful week.

  1. I have the 5th block ready to stitch, but haven't even started on the 6th block of Bloom yet. Did you read Lori's posting where she showed a sneak peek at the "B" templates (like you said), which will be a Christmas quilt, so you might be wanting to make that one when it come out? Gabriella looks so cute making those cookies! I got my 2nd snowman block all made. You can go to my blog to see what I have been working on. Hope the other "Stitchers in Action" will take a peek at my blog too so they can see what I am up to.
