Over the weekend, I did a lot of sewing.......I made the block pictured below. It is another one from the R/W/B no-sew swap. I LOVE this block. The fabric was cut and sent out by Marion in Germany...and she picked the block, too. It is called Love in a Mist and is found on Quilter's Cache (in case you want to make it, too). These blocks will finish at 12" so having 9 of them, and adding sashing and borders, will make a nice sized hanging for my new quilt hanger.
I also made the following over the weekend: 3 new valances for my kitchen windows, 2 new valances for our bedroom windows, a wall-hanging to match the bedroom valances, and pillow covers (for throw pillows) to match the bedroom valances, and I have a table topper ready to go for the kitchen that will match those valances. The wall-hanging for the bedroom was done in the disappearing 9-patch method...starting with 5" squares. I could have made it a lot quicker if I had an AccuQuilt GO cutter to cut out those squares........*sigh* I am still doing some hand-quilting on that piece so I didn't take a picture of it yet. The valances were two of my many UFO's that I posted about recently.....so that is 2 more I can cross off the list....YAY!!! On top of all that sewing, I did some yardwork, went to church, and also read some of Jennifer Chiavarini's "Aloha Quilt". I can surely get a LOT done when I don't have any work from that darned typing job to interfere with my quilting but I guess I'll keep that typing job since it keeps me in fabric!!! LOL
