Quiltsy Team Great Finds: 1-4-2015

Happy New Year!!
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Years!!  Are you ready for 2015??  Did you make any resolutions?  One thing I wanted to accomplish early in the year was a sewing-room-overhaul, and I'm happy to say, as of yesterday, it is done.  I'm now "ready" to tackle new projects in the new year.  :-)

Maybe Santa or Hanukkah gifts didn't bring you everything you hoped for?  Why not treat yourself to something......

My mother and I make up the Olive Street Studio design and sewing team.  I cannot remember my mom NOT sewing or quilting.  Since 2003, we've made chenille and cotton baby quilts, baby gift sets, little girls dresses and skirts.  In 2013, we expanded into Home Decor quilts and after getting requests for even bigger quilts, we're working on largers quilts too.  Then, with extra time, because we all have extra time, ha ha, we also make reversible tote bags, smaller handbags, and zipper pouches.  I joined the Quiltsy Team on Etsy in 2010.

Block Swap - Two weeks left!

The deadline for the block swap is fast approaching, and the swappers are doing great! This is my current list, let me know if you are on the list and want to be removed, or if you are not on the list and need to be added. All the names in green I have blocks from already, so it's more than half at this point - great job (and mine are done, and since I am the queen of procrastination I deserve a big pat on the back!).


Here is a picture of the pile on my table, isn't it great! I haven't opened the packages yet, am waiting for the right time to savor looking at all the scrappy goodness inside these squishy packages. My mail carrier has been quite curious as to the nature of all these wonderful packages, so I will have to show her some of them. Who knows, I may get another quilter started!

Hope you are all having as much fun using your scraps as I am!
