Pollen:7 - Danielle:0

Oh the pollen!  I am trying to beat it, but I can report that right now it is winning.   (At least 7 to 0!)  All week it's been kicking me down.  My head feels like.... well, words can't accurately describe how it feels.  And I can't seem to hear out of my left ear, but who really needs both ears anyway?  Zyrtec, decongestant, motrin, you name it, I'm taking it.  Hopefully soon, I will feel back to normal.  I know that the flowers/trees/grass are worth it though, how can you not love the spring flowers and green!  Like this peony, by far my favorite flower.  Each year they get bigger and better, like these:

I have a few pictures of my Chilly Charmers blocks and the latest Jamestown block that I completed.  The first Saturday is at Emma's Quilt Cupboard tomorrow, so I had to get these done.  When you complete the previous month's block, and go to the store at the specified time, you get the next month's block free!  Is that motivation or what?

Those penguins and snowmen are too cute!  Easy enough, I'm use machine applique around the figures.   Just like hand applique, the prep is the time consuming part.  Totally worth it though, I can't wait to see what the next one looks like tomorrow!

I have another BOM that I started through a local quilt shop, 

it's called Chilly Charmers by Pearl Louise Krush.  The quilt is too 
cute, lots of snowmen and penguins!  The kids are going to love it when it's finished.  The little bear is something I made in a class last night.  It is made of all 30's reproduction fabrics.  The class is called Charm School, it part mystery and part charm (5" squares).  I've taken a few other classes, and the theme of the charms is always different.   At the last class we made a pinwheel block, and in a previous one, we made a windsock that was really nice.  I like that you never know what the finished product will be, and it something you can finish in the class with a little extra homework.  That's all for now, off to do AMG #2...
