The secret of making time stop…
February 11th, 2009
The older we get, the faster time goes by. I’ve learned the secret of making time stop (and with no help from Jack, Sawyer or Hurley). No Dharma Initiative needed… just join Anne’s crazy cute “A Tiskit, A Tasket BOM” (block of the month) and you’ll see how slow time can go by. At the beginning of the month, I was stalking patiently waiting at Anne’s blog for her to upload the February block. Now I wait for March’s block.
Tic.

Time has stood still - I can hardly stand waiting the next 10 months!
I’ve used Moda’s Swell and Sweet (by the Urban Chicks) for all the applique on my blocks. My February block - I’ve used all Swell. If anyone is looking for Sweet… go visit my pal Jona at her Fabritopia shop!
Edited in: The yummy, yummy, yummy yellow background is a Moda Basics called “Dottie” and the color is called “Butter”. Call your local/online quilt shop TODAY and BEG them to order you some. And then please let me know about it… I want need to buy more!

Your basket is soooo cute! I love it. I also love watching Sawyer, Jack and the gang on the Lost show, love that show and it’s on tonight. I also got my February block done and I did the redwork version too.
February 11th, 2009It’s beautiful…I heart your basket!
February 11th, 2009I saw your block on Anne’s Flickr group. CUTE, CUTE, CUTE!! I hear what you’re saying but I haven’t even finished January’s block yet! I have to put the face and arms on the snowman and applique on the leaves and I’m done. But I want to start on February’s!!! I have my fabrics all picked out and ready… well somewhat ready, to go.
Maybe I should get off this computer and get to work!
February 11th, 2009It’s so “sweet” that it’s swell! LOVE it!
February 11th, 2009Love the basket. Such cute little birds!
February 11th, 2009ain’t that the truth!!!
and i’ve said it before, but i’ll say it again.
February 11th, 2009could your blocks BE any cuter???
Your version, once again, is just well, swell and sweet!
February 11th, 2009It’s adorable! You have the cutest blocks! I love them.
February 11th, 2009Oh Monica, You are KILLING me here. I do not have time for another project!
On a side note, I was looking at that hex pillow I made from the swell charm pack this morning and I think I recently picked up a feedsack that is EXACTLY like that red checked fabric in that line. (Will send you a link if you email me since we are strictly forboden from linking here. LOL) :-P~~~
February 11th, 2009Good grief.
February 11th, 2009That block is so darn sweet… it’s just got me speechless, yet gushing. Inspired, yet ready to throw in the towel.
I humbly bow before the master.
Love your blocks…I had to use “Swell” and “Sweet” for mine too….but I did give you the credit for my choices…and I love your yellow background!
February 11th, 2009Adorable! I love it!!!
February 11th, 2009Oh sew pretty! I haven’t started yet, but I think I’m going to join soon!
Congrats on the close!!!
February 11th, 2009You kill me. Choose fabric for me from now on.
February 11th, 2009Ok, Sarah took my line. Not to mention Pam. You’ve killed me too. You’re Awesome!!! Sooo, Soooo fantastic!!!
February 11th, 2009That’s so funny! I thought I was the only one stalking her blog waiting for the next block! Yours is wonderful. Congrats on selling the house. Cheers.
February 11th, 2009That is so cute, I have been stalking your blog, and telling everyone that comes in the shop to take a look a your cute blocks. Congrads on the sale of your house!!

Your block is by far the happiest block around! I saw it on Anne’s Flicker group and knew instantly that it was you who had done it! Perfection!
February 11th, 2009Dang you are quick girl ! LOVE it. ooxx`jodi
February 12th, 2009I just love your blog… I tagged you… Check out my blog. Hope you have a fabulous weekend!
February 12th, 2009I really hate to choose favorites. That means someone is the winner and everyone else is the loser or runner-up. But in this case I will go out on a limb and tell you (and anyone else reading comments) I LOVE YOUR BLOCKS from Anne BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE’S!!!! They are beautiful and your handwork is incredible.
So there.
February 12th, 2009Oh what is the background yellow with white dots? All the fabrics are great but that one is screaming my name!
February 12th, 2009Me too! And I am the slowest sewer around, yet I’m done & I can’t wait for March. I also cannot WAIT to see your quilt when it’s all done! Your blocks are sooo nice. I just ordered some “Sweet” for a quilt for my niece. LOVE the colors!! –Jen
February 12th, 2009Ok, I liked your blog before but throw in some LOST talk with crafting and I am in love.
February 12th, 2009I know what you mean. I felt like I was stalking her, too!
Your blocks are gorgeous. I haven’t started mine, yet.
This week I have been making adorable little valentine pennie pockets from one of my favorite designers: you! I am going to try to upload them to your flickr group.
February 12th, 2009I love your fabric choices! You are correct on the time thing…unless you are behind like me. :-)
February 12th, 2009Love it so much. Very pretty. x
February 12th, 2009Love it love it. Very cute. Can’t wait to see the whole quilt.
February 12th, 2009Not one single solitary block is as cute as yours. I don’t have a place to put a quilt with these wonderful bright colors. I am going back to the drawing board with rustic colors - boo hoo, but you are too inspiring for me not to stick with it! E
February 12th, 2009this is great! and congrads on selling your house!! By the way get excited Bill Maher is back next week. I could hardly stand another week, I have been feeling as if I was in major withdrawal! Need my fix!
February 12th, 2009Cute! I DO need that Dharma Initiative to take me back 1 hour every hour or so…
February 13th, 2009Your basket with the birds is absolutely adorable! So cute ..
greetings, Joke
February 13th, 2009I can hear those blue birds of happiness and cuteness chirping all the way over here on the east coast!!
……and I’m sending a frozen little east coast birdie to tell you to pop in for a blog visit because there’s a Valentine’s Day giveaway involving some “I Love Lucy” fabric …..
February 13th, 2009I love how you have completed your beautiful 2nd block very creative using the felt.The little blue birds look as if they are ready to fly away.
February 13th, 2009Thank you so much for your comment on my blog.
(((HUGS))) Roz.
A-dor-a-ble!!! What a talented girl you are! I know I’ve said that before, but it definitely bears repeating.
February 13th, 2009I’m coming to visit, and I’m going to have you choose ALL the fabric for a project that I will sew. A girl can dream, can’t she?
Oh my goodness, how adorable. I thought I didn’t have the time to do this BOM, but I might just have changed my mind….
February 14th, 2009So,so,so CUTE! I love it! You have inspired me to go finish mine. Isn’t this one of the best block of the months ever???
