I've joined Lily's Quilts Small Blog Meet, so if you've found your way here from there, welcome!
I'm really new to blogging but am having lots of fun and finding some other great blogs along the way.
I've been busy cutting the past couple of days:
This stack is for a quilt I'm making for my son. It is the 'does not compute' pattern from Boo Davis' great book 'Dare To Be Square Quilting':
I also have great plans to do the one on the cover at some point!
Here is the technical way I sort my pieces:
I also cut pieces for my daughter's quilt and chain stitched charm squares to them. I'm using the fantastic instructions by Amy Smart at Diary of a Quilter for the Easy Strawberry Fields Bricks Quilt
Finally I sewed my four patches and cut the sashing for my first quilt-a-long over at Crazy Mom Quilts
I also managed to squeeze in making another jean pocket toy for my friend's son's birthday!
I hope he likes it...

Hi Lucy :-)
I really LOVE your pin dish!
It looks like your kids are going to have some beautiful quilts :-)
The jean pocket toy is adorable!
What a fun dish! Love the colors in the quilt you're making for your son. Looks like a fun pattern, too!
Welcome from one small blog to another! I hope to get to know you more and can't wait to see that owl quilt!
Hi there, from another small blog meetup-er!
I saw a great pattern online at Oh! Frannson for pins with big felt letter labels sewn onto the top specifically for this sort of thing, but she must have removed it because I can't seem to find it. Boo!

I've come here from Lily's and I look forward to following your blog. I've got lots of jean pockets and no idea of what to do with them - until now!
Hi Lucy, I so enjoyed reading your blog, and the pin dish put a smile on my face. I'm a new follower so see you around! Cheers - Kelly @Blue BirdSews
Can't wait to see your sons quilt when you are done. I've come from Lillys Quilts. I'm part of the SBM as well. Come say hello.
Greetings from SBM! That jean pocket toy is adorable, what a great idea!!
Sweet little tray- happy to say I rarely wash up, husband does most of it!
Ah yes, the post it notes - I do that too. Mine look just like yours - a square post it that i've tried to tear into smaller ones by hand so they're even more elegant looking :) Unfortunately they don't always stay stuck to the fabric though...
Hi I've popped over from Lily Quilts small blog meet - am catching up on my blog hopping still! Your sampler quilt is fab - Crazy Mom Quilts was the first blog I ever followed.
I think a "Does not compute" quilt will be coming to live at my house one day too! Love the jeans pocket toy(and your previous one).
