A quick little post today to play along over at Gingersnap Creations. The Blue Moon Challenge (so named because a 5th Wednesday in a month happens.... well, ya know, something like once in a blue moon) is to make a quilt pattern the theme of your creation. They've given us a handy dandy link to a great quilt block resource page (HERE) to get you started. My quilt is "antique" - cuz I used some seriously ancient stash, LOL!. The paper is 7Gypsies Zanzibar, the sentiment is from the Lots of Thoughts set from Stampin' Up!, and there is a barely visible quilt block stamp (it's stamped very lightly in the middle under the sentiment) from Rubber Stampede called Harvest Star Quilt. Of course I had to include some stitching and Distress Inking of the edges, too. ;)
I've got one more week of having the kiddos home on their quarterly break, so still trying desperately to squeeze in the time to craft. I *do* love having them home, though - so relaxing to have a break from homework and the daily grind. The lack of crafty time is the only drawback. :) Hope you're having a great week, and that you can play along at GC!
