Eight months into 2008….A Quilters New Year’s Resolution is still going strong….

How about this for a New Years Resolution…Blogger, Lindsay Jean of “Shnoodle” is making ONE NEW Block everyday using a Block of the Day Pattern Calendar by That Patchwork Place.  Plus, she is determined to use up some of her stash as well.
 

I found “Shnoodle” when Lindsay Jean made a comment on this post…I am going to send her some fabric just because I think what she is doing is cool.

 Her blog header says “Make a Block A Day in 2008…One Woman’s Journey Into Madness”!

 
Check it out her first post and block on Jan. 1, 2008 and today’s post and see everything in-between.  Great Job—Keep Sewing.

Happy New Year!  January 1, 2008

In an effort that I hope will not be entirely doomed, I am attempting to sew, photograph, and post a block for each day of my Quilt Block-A-Day calendar for 2008. January 1st's block is called Happy New Year! I think this will aid my stash-busting efforts immensely. Wish me luck...

Sunflower & Shopping

Here is today's block, Sunflower. I departed from my everyday raw-edge applique with this block, and made proper freezer paper templates and folded over the seam allowances. The bias stem I already had - I save the leftover pieces of bias stems in a box - they're perfect for these tiny blocks.
