And I thought I was ready


Its Fresh Sewing Day at Lily's Quilts and unlike last time, this time I'm all ready and waiting.

Or so I think. Ha!  Now they tell me I can also showcase my entire year's finishes if I like!! Like? I would've loved to do that but I absolutely refuse to not use my mosaic of December's finishes! Yes, the one that I had already prepared a day in advance and was all ready with!! Anyways, here it is :-)..ta-da...


Ok, ok, that's a cheat mosaic. Its only actually two quilts. On the left is First among Equals and on the right, Bundle of Joy.

This year, I seem to have bitten off more than I can chew. Yet again. I have signed up for three (or was it four?) monthly challenges, so am hoping to learn a lot and have many more finishes for my 2012 Fresh Sewing Day mosaics :-).

Happy sewing!

Oh I'm so new to all this !

Blog-hopping seems to be my latest addiction and this is what I came across on Lily's Quilts :


It said - link up, grab a button, blog-hop. Or something to that effect.

The linking-up was easy, grabbing the button, not so much coz I still have no clue how these things work, and, blogland was heaven ! I just looove them quilting blogs out there and I have sooo much to learn. This is India you know, and we do not have a quilting history out here, and my foray into this quilting world is nothing less than an adventure in uncharted territory. Love it !!

Anyways, I understand one needs to make a mosaic (no clue how to do that :-)) to showcase the month's achievements (!). Am gonna try and do that a lil later and get back here and edit this post to include it. If successful.

Off to hop-hop-hop :-)

Edited to add:
1. I figured out the whole button grabbing business
2. I found this made-just-for-me FMQ 2012 challenge AND I grabbed the button. Look, look --->
3. I tried this mosaic of the 3 quilts I made in November (on Picasa) (this was BEFORE I saw the lovely tip given by Leanne. Thank you Leanne, shall try that next month :-)
