Some New Quilting Adventures

As I was catching up on over

1000 posts on my Google Reader (yes...I've been very neglectful...but I'm slowly browsing through them all), I came across a few very interesting things:

New quilt-a-long!!

Rachael over at p.s. i quilt, is hosting a quilt-a-long featuring her beautiful pinwheel sampler!

Isn't it beautiful??!!!

So now I just have to find the fabrics...and all stash...no new purchases (one of my new years resolutions). To sign up go to the flickr group page or check out Rachael's post here.

Secondly, I stumbled upon this lovely little swap:

Potholder Pass

I've been wanting to make some potholders and placemats for my kitchen for a long time...so this was the perfect opportunity to not only get some much needed kitchen accessories, but also have a little fun swap in the meantime. Check out our group's flickr page to see all our lovely creations.

Lastly, I stumbled upon this challenge:

I was too late to sign up officially for this challenge, but I figured I'd participate anyways. For my Live Piecefully Quilting Bee, I am queen bee for January. I had requested string blocks for my quilt, and so far, they are all looking beautiful! All fabric is from stash...no new purchases! So I figured that was completely fitting for this challenge.
