A Good Ending


We were thankful that the second big snow storm never turned out to be.  We might have gotten close to 8", but that is a better ending than the 20+" predicted.  A nice thing about our snow is that it has kept this wanderer closer to home and his battle scars have healed up nicely.


With a snow day I was able to get this B/W stacked coin closer to a good ending.  The sashings and inner border are cut and waiting.  To use up some more of that black I am going to have to add a border.  This was a little bit of a change up from the lovely tutorial given during the Scrumptious Scrap QAL FOUND HERE.



I hope you all enjoyed the Small, Smaller, Smallest Blog Hop which came to a good end.  I finished up my little bird houses - the pattern can be found on Moda Bake Shop site - HERE.  It used up the small bits of Spring Green for RSC's color of the month and I have a cute mini as a result.


And now to top off that good ending, the winner of my give away - that barrel full of 2" squares.  Random selected:


I will send her an e-mail request for mailing info and these will go right out.  Thank you all for visiting,  commenting, and those show of hands for my scraps.

I'm pulling some gifted bags of scraps this weekend for some sorting, adding into the fabric system and cutting away those bits.

Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

That bird house mini is cute. I'm betting, with all the snow, you really need something 'Spring' at the moment.

Congrats! on your lovely Birdhouse mini finish. LOVE that scrappy B/W quilt in progress!! Best of luck working through the rest of those scraps.

I really love the tiny bird house quilt. Somehow, the word mini seems to big to describe it. I'm glad the storm wasn't too bad up at your house. We had 15 heavy, wet inches. There were trees and branches down all over the place, luckily, we didn't lose power.

Those birdhouses are so cute! A lovely wall hanging.

We just got dribs and drabs of snow, which was a relief after what they'd been predicting. The less snow the better, as far as I'm concerned!
Those birdhouses are adorable, and I really love that b/w stacked coins! (I'd be tempted to go with red for the sashing and border!)

The black and white stacked coins look fantastic!

Your coins quilt came together quite nicely - can't wait to see it with borders and sashing. I never would have expected that the birdhouses were made with minicharms!! I've got the pattern set aside and I'm already trying to think of my charm square stash. Thanks! Mr Moe is saving up his energies for his next jaunt - let's hope it's not too soon.
