Applique Thursday 8/9/12 & Giveaway

With temperatures of 109, 107, 106  not much of anything is getting done around here what with swimming lessons and playing with Alan a must.  Here's as far as I got with the next block - mind you I came home from CO at midnight Sunday -

What with hardly any quilting getting done, I so need eye candy to get me back in the groove. So this week's giveaway is a book ( a duplicate actually) that I think you'll really like.  Don was featured in SewCalGal's 2012 FMQ Challenge.  He had a great lesson for us.  I've used a couple of his motifs so I'll be keeping the other copy.  To win this copy, all you need to do is comment or link to have a chance for it to be yours. Or do both and have two chances. Submissions end Sunday night. Use the blue link below the photo.
 

Applique Thursday on Hold

Hi, I'm off to Colorado!  See you next week!

WIP Wednesday 7/31/12

Gosh, seven months of the year are over!  Time is just flying by.  Here is my second baby quilt flimsy of the four I have to make.

The twins are scheduled to be born sometime in September, so I decided to use fall prints.  I'll put some applique on it before sandwiching.  The flannel back has some cute pink hearts.  I'll have to make them slightly different so Mom can tell them apart.  They know already that they are fraternal twins.

I'm linking to Esther's WOW, and Barb's NewFO Challenge.  Go see the goodies.
