Bee Block Top and My New Hood

I finally finished my NYC Metro Mod Bee Block Top!

I gave everyone a red triangle and bright fabric. 

I went with black and white sashing and black cornerstones,

as you can see.  Very bright and busy, just the way I love it.

Now to figure out how to quilt it!

I am going to use the same red as the triangles for the binding.

It was really fun to get all of these different blocks and I am so

grateful to my bee partners for doing such wonderful work! 

Now a few pictures  . . . 

This is my new building.  I live on the top floor and it's nice and quiet

up there.  My friends call it The Penthouse.  

I can walk to this cute little park in about three minutes . . . 

The train station in two minutes . . . 

This sweet plaza with the best coffee shop in town in one minute . . .

And this town staple is right across the street!

Isn't that a cute name?!

I am really enjoying my new neighborhood and all the freedoms 

it has to offer!  

Hope you are enjoying your Sunday!

I'm back! And a cute little find . . .

It's good to be back to a routine of sorts.

I am completely unpacked in my new space,

and it feels so good to just sit and sew when I want to!

I have been working on my courthouse steps quilt.

It has been slow and steady, but now I am making good progress. 

I have decided that this quilt is going to Victoria's Basics Quilt Drive.

I am calling it "Moving Day."  I started this quilt when I decided to move and now am finishing

when I'm done with the move.

Moving can be unsettling when it's your decision;

I can't imagine how moving would be when you aren't in control of it.

Victoria's quilt drive is about donating quilts to families that are

going into transitional housing until their permanent housing is ready.

I tremendous cause egged on by a tremendous woman!

 Here is a little close up.

I need to find some outdoor space for pictures.

Now that I don't have a backyard . . .

I need to get comfortable photographing things in public spaces.

Could be fun.  Will probably meet some new friends!

Here is my new cozy sewing space in the corner of my living room.

It works just fine.  Everything can be hidden away for those wild

parties I plan to have.  Hahaha.

And here is the cute little find!

Three or four weeks ago I was cruising my favorite blogs,

when I came upon Cristin's very cute little layard.

I thought this would be perfect for my moving adventure.  

My new place has very tight security, and you have to swipe "the fob" through most doors

to get where you are going.  It worked beautifully for moving and carrying things in.

I still use it because I can find it in my Mary Poppins purse with great ease.

Cristin's blog, Sew This Is My Life is very fun!

Check it out.

So what are you doing on this beautiful Sunday?

Have you found anything fun that makes your life easier??
