Great Granny Along: Crochet Hook

I am so far behind on this! I ended up having to put this on the back burner so I could get a quilt done for charity. I did end up getting this sewn together the week after it was due (just didn't get a photo until now!) but I haven't gotten to anything else. Once this charity quilt is done I hope to get back to this quilt.

Here are the two blocks together hanging on the wall by my sewing desk:

Great Granny Along: Yarn Basket

I finished up my yarn basket last night and I'm happy to say it's made entirely of scraps! :) Although I will confess that I made a trip to the fabric store the other day and got a few quarter yards. But this quilt is for my sister who loves green and I needed more green in my stash. That's a good excuse, right? ;)

There's still time to join in with the fun. Click on over to get the companion PDF and start sewing.

Great Granny Sew Along

I'm so excited to start the Great Granny Sew Along! I've been wanting to do a sew along (and actually sew along, not doing it months later) for a while now. I've loved the granny square blocks since I first laid eyes on them. They are so cute! When Lori announced on her blog the sew along and I saw her finished quilt I knew I wanted to make one. My sister crochets, so I think this will be a great gift for her. :)

I also included the sew along button to the right for easy access.

 It runs for 5 weeks and I'm going to do my very best to keep up with it. I'm digging into my stash and scrap bins for this one. I'm hoping that I won't have to buy any fabric (except for backing and maybe borders).

Check back to see my progress. :)
