WIP to get up the WIP Post!!!

**NOTE**  If you are looking for the Off the Rail Quilt Kit giveaway sponsored by the Fat Quarter Shop you will find it here :)

Seriously,  I can't believe how long it is taking to write this post.  I keep having one distraction after another.  Oh well, what ya gonna do :)  I think I haven't shown any of my works in progress for a bit (probably as there has been a lack of them :) and thought today would be the day to remedy that :)  So here it goes :)

My first new huge work in progress is starting up my new STARS Quilt-A-Long!!  It is set to start on Monday and I am just trying to make sure I have everything ready to go.  I am so super excited about it!!!  There is already a great group of people quilting along and I know it is just going to be so much fun!!  It was even posted about at the Jolly Jabber this morning :)  Ya, how cool is it to have your name mentioned at the Jolly Jabber. I will tell you, It's Super Cool!!!


Next, is a new version of my Hugs and Kisses from the Park tutorial.  You might recall that the pattern was inspired by my grandparents so I thought it might be nice to make a version for my grandmother that will fit her room decor.  I went for Pom Pom de Paris.  I think she will love it.  I have gotten as far as pinning the original piecing and stalled.  It was suppose to be for her birthday but whereas that is in a week it will most likely now be for Christmas :)


Next, I got this little beauty all basted and it is just waiting to be quilted and bound.  I would show you the front but that would take away from the fun when I get to release it as my newest "baking project" :)


And last, for fun . . . I thought I would give an update on the Baby Bump WIP :)  This is me at 33 weeks :)  Only 7 weeks left and if things go as they have with the last 4 it will be more like 6 weeks!!  Yippee Skippee!!

  2. Cute stars quilt! And your hugs & kisses quilt is so cute! I love how you used the Slice. Is there a special fabric mat for that or fabric spray?

    BTW you are so cute at 33 weeks! I am the same, 33 weeks, and I am HUGE! I keep getting the "are you sure there is only one in there?" comments and disbelief when I say when I am due. People really help make you feel better about yourself.

  11. Hi Melissa, I was wondering if this Stars QAL would work with a layer cake?
