A Little Catch-Up

It's snowing cats and dogs, and I can't get my finished quilt photographed today, so I thought I'd post about a few other things!
Maybe some pictures of Bee blocks!
Loved doing these paper pieced circles for Marika. They are for our Happiness Circle @ do. Good Stitches
She did a little photo tutorial on Flickr.



I don't remember if I posted these already, but they are the blocks from the first 4 months of Canadians Quilt {bee}. The blocks these ladies are choosing are really great!

I know I posted photos of my latest Boyd St. Bowling Bag purse, but I followed that up with a matching Necessary Clutch Wallet!
Both patterns are from Emmaline Bags. I just love Janelle's patterns!
She also has great hardware, like zipper pulls.
Then, I went and joined the Pack Patch Mini QAL! Each week we make a tiny patchwork block based on a theme chosen by Chase from Quarter Inch Mark.
The great thing is that they take only minutes to sew up. The fun comes in picking fabric to match the theme!
True Colours/Favourite Colours
 April Showers/Brings May Flowers
Born in..../Wish I Was Born In....
I can hardly wait for next weeks theme!
And Finally!!
I did finish Postage Paid but don't have great photos of it.
Kissa looking pretty!
I really liked adding the envelopes with the postage stamp blocks!
Enough already.....I should go and shovel the snow!
Serves me right.....I had my summer tires put on last week!

Oh my, I feel for you. Hopefully tomorrow's temperatures will get rid of the white stuff. You really have made some lovely blocks and I LOVE that bowling bag purse. The fabrics and detailed finishing are really great.

Snow? That is just wrong! Enough winter already! Great blocks, Patti. I can't wait to see more of your Postage Paid quilt. That backing is fabulous -- what is it?

Love all your blocks! The circles look so pretty!
More snow... really? You must get tired of all the shoveling!
Nature here is one month ahead, so all blossom is gone and all the plants and trees are green. It was such a warm month of April.
