Mini Monday: BOM and a lanyard

I am slowly but surely getting back into a routine now that the kids are back in school.  Even did a little bit of sewing this weekend.

February Block of the Month

Made a sample Block of the Month for our guild's February BOM.  With a nod to Pantone's selection of Emerald as 2013's Color of the Year, our blocks are to be made primarily in greens with a neutral background.  Any design goes for the 12.5" block.  I followed Jolene's block directions for her Tree Quilt found in Modern Quilts from the Blogging Universe.

Hope Valley lanyard

Played around with Hope Valley scraps and made a lanyard.  I have so much Hope Valley in my stash and have been afraid to cut into it.  This little project was a good start.  I might use this lanyard for my ski lift ticket or maybe my parent name badge.  

Siggy block in Flea Market Fancy

I also made a siggy block to send along with my MCM Bee block to Carla.  I am getting better about cutting into my "precious" fabric.  I am not making any promises, but I'd like to think this will be a trend for 2013 ;-)

Happy Monday and happy stitching!  Thanks for stopping by,
