Tumbler Party - Swapping Fun!

Yes, I am still sitting here in the jury assembly room and day dreaming.  So as I mentioned in my earlier post, I am hosting the Tumbler Party.  During the first round, each party participant sent me 12 fat quarters (yellow, aqua & gray) and I used my Accuquilt Studio cutter to cut the FQ's into tumbler blocks and then put them into a great big pile and sorted them like a deck of cards.  The cutting is easy, it was the sorting I found to be time consuming and also relaxing.  I have to say I did have fun seeing all the different prints and am tickled with the little scraps of  fabric that I ended up with (I'll be cutting what I can into 2.5" sqaures so standby to see what's next). A few of the members sent extras for me to keep too - that was unnecessary but totally cool.   I am beginning to see the quilt tops put together and the different layouts and seeing that and the joy everyone else is experiencing in this fun swap makes it worth repeating! I will be asking for RSVP's for the next round later this month. Please join the Flickr group  if your interested in attending the party this next round.  The colors will be gray, red and brown!   Until then check out some of the quilt tops being put together:Nicole, Melissa, Nikki

Is This An Actual Blog Update?

Why,  yes it is!  While sitting in the jury assembly room, it occured to me that it has almost been a year since that this 'lil blog has been updated.   What quilty things have I been doing?  I will have to post more pictures when I am back home but  for now will ask you to check out the pictures and links below.

I just completed this quilt for my son:

 and this one which is the last quilt I blogged about before my blog break:

 
Both were quilted by Jenny.

I've been hosting a fun Tumbler Party Swap and started a Mod Mosaic Bee.

I've been humbly serving as the Orange County Modern Quilt Guild President and also enjoying my LAMQG membership and Bee Happy friends.

I will be back soon to update my 2011 completed quilts, work in progress and other fun endeavors and projects but I must run for now as jurors are being called into courtrooms.
