Catching up on BOMs

I finished Tonga BOM # 5
Finished last month's Lisa's flower garden blocks.
Still working on the flower blocks from this month. I also ordered and received some beige fabric for the embroidery blocks of my Life is Beautiful quilt, now to cut squares and transfer the patterns to them.

New top finished

I made a fun top from a Moda bake shop pattern this weekend. I won a set of  Rose Cottage charm squares at Jeff's sewing & Vac BOM last month. So I went to the Moda Bake Shop to find a pattern for a quilt using charm squares. I found the pattern "Criss Cross Quilt" by Lisnaweary Quilts. I only had to add four fat quarters and a couple of yards of fabric to make the quilt, the rest was in my stash.
Here's a close up of the block.
I used all the left overs and the yardage I purchased for the back. I also picked up thread to quilt it.
This is a sneak peak of a secret Basket swap that I joined and just remembered today that I am supposed to mail tomorrow. I finished the basket tonight, so I'll fill it and mail it tomorrow.

Still playing...

I have been playing with Ruby, but am still figuring out how to get my space set up. I found that I need the whole dinning room, so now I need to rearrange a few things and that will take a bit of time.
I noticed that I now have 100 followers and to celebrate I need to find something that is fun to give away. As soon as I decide what, I'll let you know.....
