I've made some progress this week on a lot of little projects...I love the new Tisket a Tasket free Block of the Month from Anne. I still need to get some wool so I can add the lamb and the little flag--I was going to do the lamb in the cutest white polka dot cotton, but my basket showed through, so wool it will be.
I also finally cut into my French General fabric. I've had the hardest time deciding what to do with it. Anne, Brenda, Camille, Carrie and Lynette have all mentioned on their blogs that they are designing with it now...so I'm kind of waiting to see what they do. Also, yesterday Lissa shared a gorgeous quilt she made with this fabric that will be in an upcoming issues of McCall's Quilting. While I'm not sure yet about everything I'm going to make with French General, I am making a small wallhanging with some stitchery for a special gift, and this house block will be part of it, The pattern for the house is from "My Cotswold Cottages" found in the book Houses by Joanna Figueroa and Lisa Quan.
Oh, and here is the final gift for my giveaway. I was going to make a couple more small things, but yesterday I decided to make another one of these bags (Mixed Bag to Quilt...pattern by Nanette). I just need to get a button to cover, and it will be finished. This is a great bag to have...I've made 5 now, almost 6--and it's a terrific size (12 inches tall and 16 inches wide). I'll take comments through Saturday...hopefully I can get everything tallied up and ready for Random Generator by Monday morning! Thanks for all the wonderful comments...I'm really trying to respond to every person!

Oh, and did you read Camille's post on three things? On my list of three for today is vacuuming, mopping, and finishing up my Christmas in July swap! Have a great day!

I like how your basket block turned out. I have been working on mine since last night. Hopefully I'll be able to post it later today. I also like how you patchworked the bag. Nanette's pattern is fabulous.
The polka dot basket is cute as can be. Makes it look summery.
V. here...I love the fabrics in the nanette's bag. It is just scrumptious!! Cutest little house and Anne's basket. i love your polka dot and all the other red fabrics. I had trouble with my snowman from Jan showing through and I used a lt. blue print. I don't have white wool for July so maybe I'll have to make a black sheep. (I'll make him a very nice black sheep)
Love the bright colorful bag! I would love to win it! :)
I am very jealous of all of you who have the French General fabric!!

You have been busy to keep us up with a lot of fun! I love French General fabric :) That is on the top of my wish list for this fall.
Your house block with French General fabric looks very nice and chic. And I really like your Mixed Bag, too! Since I have one now from Nedra, I will be ready to make one on my own!!

Your basket block is wonderful.
I thought about sewing that BOM but I´m already sewing 4!!.But I have saved the patterns so maybee some rainy day.I love your bag.
A woman can´t have too many bags or!!
I dont know whether overseas visitors are allowed on the giveaways but anyway I had to say the bag is a dream. It is so summery, light, and I would feel 10 kgs lighter carrying one! Its gorgeous.
Oh I LOVE that!
You have quilted some wonderful things. Love the give-away prizes!
Your A Tisket A Tasket basket block is so cute. Love that fabric & house block too. Your bags are just awesome. You do such nice work.
The basket and the house are very pretty, where did you find the time to finish them? not to mention the bag, it will make one feel joyous even in winter!
Another great giveaway, you do make the lovelist things.
Love it!
Hugs from Sweden!
I absolutely adore this bag. The colours are so very uplifting.
Thank you for the motivation to get moving - get stuck every once in a while, and your pieces have given me the boost -- also love the house block.
Just love the French General fabric. I know whatever you decide to make with it all will be beautiful. LOVE the cottage block.
I have really enjoyed seeing all of your basket blocks. Too bad I only have boys to make things for. I have seen some cute boy things too though.
I love this bag! You have great taste in fabrics and how to use them to best advantage. Thanks again. This is a happy blogiversary for all of us too:)
Wonderful Giveaway! Thanks!

That house block is so cute. So is the bag!
Your basket block is looking quite lovely. I keep downloading all the patterns because I really want to do one of these; I would have to work on Camille's suggestion of Three things on a TO DO list...Helps take the overwhelming feeling away...that happens to me anyway...I stagnate and don't do ANYTHING because I'm overwhelmed....Hate that rut! Love purse...looks to be a perfect size.
Your basket block is absolutely adorable! I can't wait to see it with the addition of the lamb and flag. Your house block and the tote are both incredible, too!
What a great bag. I would so love to win one of your giveaways!
libertythreads@charter.net
LOVE the Block and the bag is sew perfect!
3 things, finish a quilt, finish a rug, and start working on another quilt.
I know that seems like alot, but I am almost done with 2 out of the three

What a cute bag ... thanks for the link ... I want to try it.
You have been so busy this week. I love your interpretation of the mixed bag.. Nanette will be so pleased.
I don't have a blog, but I LOVE looking at all of your creative projects. Looks like fun fun give-a-ways!

Just when I think I might catch up on my projects, I see more I want to make. Sooo cute Sherri,
I love the bag!!! It's amazing and quite a nice size for sure! I too am working on the BunnyHill BOM, but I'm doing it in redwork. Your baskets are beautiful!
what a fun bag. I like your color choices!
French General... Luv each & every piece of it !!!
I love your basket block. It's adorable. I still need to make mine, but I haven't quite figured out what fabric to use. I do know that I would like to use wool, which I've never used before.
Love the bag!
Sherri what a great job with all your projects. I love how you took my pattern and made it your own. That french general fabric is pefect for that house. Your work is always so good. Good for you! Your block of the months are fabulous. I should have tried to pay you to make double because I love every one of yours and I want them.
