The quilt along now has a Flickr Group:  http://www.flickr.com/groups/1850682@N20/   So please post a picture of your block once you’re done!  I’d love to follow along with YOUR journey as well!

AND – to make it even more fun – anyone that brings a completed ‘Home Sweet Home’ Quilt to Show and Tell at the 2012 Quilt Retreat Getaway Weekend hosted by QuiltsbyBarb will receive a $10 gift certificate to the quilt shop at the retreat in honor of the 10th anniversary.

 

Block of the Month’s and Quilt Alongs

Be sure to check out my blog on Monday’s to see how I’m progressing with the MANY Block of the Month’s and Quilt Alongs that I’ve decided to participate in.  I’m having LOTS of fun and learning tons of new blocks and techniques!  With that, stay warm, happy crafting and thanks for all your support with my crazy ideas and ventures!
