Snippets...

Are you joining in the Pantone Challenge this year?  This will be the first time for me,as I did not even know there was such a thing until it was too late to enter last year.

The color this year is Radiant Orchid,although I am not so sure that the purples in my stash qualify as that color...I decided to participate anyway.  Here is a little sneaky peak at what I worked on Saturday afternoon.

Friday evening I sewed up these five blocks for Kevin the Quilter's QOV block drive,and plan on another five.

All my pieces for the Meringue Clutch cut,and the interfacing/fusible fleece fused this morning.

Last night I was able to cut all the pieces for my puppy love sling bag,and then fused the interfacings this morning as well.

After dinner,I was able to make quite a bit of progress on the sewing.  Although it is pretty hard to see much on the left side piece,there is a window ID pocket below the zipper,and another pocket below that.  There are also four magnetic snaps pieces installed on it near the corners.  The right side piece is the front of the bag with the strap and part of the twist lock installed.

Not bad for a little weekend sewing!

Spreading the Quilty Love

Would you be willing to help a fellow quilter out?  Silly question I know,of course you would.  How do I know that?  Simply because quilters are generally more that happy to help spread the love!

Kevin who blogs over at, Kevin the Quilter needs a little help.  With this...

QOV(Quilts Of Valor) project he is working on.  So,would you,could you,make a few blocks to help Kevin meet his goal of three quilts?  The blocks are quick and easy(12.5" square)  Go check out Kevin's Post for all the details,including a tutorial on how to make the blocks,and QOV colors.

Thank You in advance for helping with such a great cause.
