New Block of the Month "Quilty Delights"
One of my many New Year's resolutions is to do five quilty things a day--sounds easy, doesn't it? In the spirit of keeping this resolution alive, am going to share more of what I'm doing here on this blog, including more finished quilts! Have so many on the brink of being finished, but that's a post for another day.
As swap hostess for BlockBuddies, I've provided a Block of the Month swap for the past four years and here's the one for 2011:
This month's block is Cross and Crown:
We make two blocks, one to keep and one to swap. If you're interested, feel free to join our little on-line quilting group--the button is on the right of the screen.
Here are a few other colorways you might prefer (purple is way out of my comfort zone, but it was requested by the group):
Would love to hear your feedback! If you are interested on making the blocks along with us, please feel free to get the instructions free on my website, Ewes Quilting.

Green Fairy Quilts
Judy Madsen is having a give away of all sorts of goodies! Go to her blog, Green Fairy Quilts at http://greenfairyquilts.blogspot.com/ and post a comment to be entered into her drawing for one of five quilty presents. If you blog about her contest, then you get five entries. She also has a charity she runs to help those less fortunate in Romania. If you make a donation to that cause, you will have ten entries.
Even if you don't enter her contests, her blog is exceptional and patterns clever. Enjoy!

New Find: The Quilt Pattern Shoppe
Have a new on-line source for patterns! Could be a new addiction, since there are no shipping fees nor rides to a quilt store. Patterns are only a printer away!
Not only does The Quilt Pattern Shoppe (http://www.thequiltpatternshoppe.com/) have dozens of designers who have authored over 200 patterns from which to choose, but shopper reward points usable towards free patterns and other quilty goodies.
So, I decided to try one of their free patterns and downloaded the "Simply Hearts Table Runner." This two day project was well-written and easy to use. Two thumbs up for whoever proof-read this pattern!
Loved the chance to make a controlled scrappy quilted table runner. (Random and I don't usually get along.) Tried to pick out colors that complimented my Polish stoneware and ended with a very happy, springtime table topper for our kitchen.
