Fresh Sewing Day and Small Blog Meet

And so it's the first of February and time to see what we've all been working on in January.  Link up at the bottom of this post in the fresh sewing day linky with this month's highlights.  And don't forget, if you're a smaller blog looking to connect with more quilt bloggers and grow your following, link up also with the small blog meet linky down below.  My favourite project this month BY A MILE is the scrappy quilt I made for the Scraps Issue of Fat Quarterly which is out this week.  Actually quick to make because all those HSTs are paper pieced in sets of sixteen.  I called it the Cowboy Star quilt - although made with modern fabrics, this quilt has a very traditional feel to me and conjured up images for me of the pioneers crossing the great plains.


And what about you?  What have you worked on this month?  Any finishes?  Maybe a mosaic of everything you've been doing?  One favourite thing?  Link up at the bottom of this post to share what you've been working on. If you do link up, how about visiting at least four of the other blogs who link up - two above you and two below you - and stopping to leave a comment as well as visiting back anyone who visits you. As always here's the button to grab.

  5. I love your quilt, and I see the western reference. It reminds me of the Navaho blanket on my sofa. I live on the great plains that the pioneers crossed, and the cowboy theme is large here.
