I've been busy sewing for Joanna with the gorgeous fabrics of Mill House Inn...projects I can't share yet! So for now, I'll just have to share a few of the other things I got finished this week. I love Anne's Tisket a Tasket free block of the month quilt, and August's "Picnic Time" is one of my favorites. I still need to find four heart-shaped pink buttons--one for the top of each cupcake and one for the top of the block. I think the ladybug is adorable!
The 2009 Designer Mystery Block of the Month from Fat Quarter Shop came this week, and I couldn't wait to get started! This month's block was designed by Margot of The Pattern Basket Blog, and it is stunning!
I'm making two blocks each month--one with the Glace' that comes with the pattern, and a second one from my stash of Prairie Paisley, American Primer, and Flag Day Farm. 
Oh, and this lovely bundle of goodness came in the mail this week! I had a birthday in July and patiently (well, not really--I wasn't patient at all) saved my birthday money for some Simple Abundance...any guesses on how long before I untie the bundle and start working with these fabrics?One more thing...stay tuned...some super exciting news is coming to my blog this week! I can't wait to tell you all about it!

Wise choice for the birthday present!
The blocks are beautiful. I too love the Prairie Paisley. Thanks for sharing.
Both BOM's are beautiful. I especially like the red/white/blue one.

You are one busy lady doing cute, cute stuff!
Love the BOMs you have done - again. I can't wait to see what you are working on for Joanna and what your plans are for the Simple Abundance bundle. All that AND some exciting news??? WOW! I had to scroll on down and visit your Authentic bag again....sigh.
I love the new fabric and i think I would probably fondle it a bit before I actually did anything with it because I would be afraid of using it on something in case something better came along to use it on. I love your mystery blocks and the tisket a tasket block. I also really love the bag you posted about earlier. (keep it for yourself). I can't wait to hear about your news.
I really love Simple Abundance! You lucky girl to get to sew with it. I'm excited to see what you make. Cindy
Your blocks are perfect. I really need to start on mine...I am glad I have someone's too look at as a reference.
Sherri....I love your work! I love Simple Abundance, too and did get two charm packs this week from fat quarter shop so I can really enjoy them. And Mill House Inn...I got 2 charm packs of that, too! How exciting for Joanna to have you sew for her! She is a lucky gal and so are you! Can't wait for the surprise!
Love your projects. You do such beautiful work and I love to come to your blog to check on the fun things you make.

I just purchased the baby sister to Simple Abundance...a charm pack! So pretty. Looking forward to seeing what you make with it and I'll be back for the exciting news.
I really love those blocks! They look great in both color ways. Ummmm... let me guess, it took you all of about 2.5 seconds before you tore into that fat quarter stack?
Can't wait for the exciting news, Sherri. I just bet it's very SPECIAL!
Love that 'Simple Abundance' line and your designer blocks are wonderful!
Your designer blocks are wonderful! Looking forward to hearing about this news!
That basket block is really adorable. I love the labybug too, and the cupcakes look yummy. And your star blocks - stunning! It looks like there is a lot of little piece piecing. Always fun to see your admirable stitching projects. Can't wait to hear your news!

Your Picnic Time basket is just adorable, I am enjoying it too!!
Love your Designer BOM blocks, they are going to make up into wonderful quilts.
Enjoy your birthday treat fabric, I'd say in about two seconds you had the bundle open, just long enough to set your camera down!!
I LOVE surprises!!
I need another block of the month like I need another hole in the head ... but you have seriously tempted me with this new one from FQS.
Love your cupcakes. I thought that was about the most fun block (from that BOM) yet.
You are always doing such great things! I can't wait to see what you are doing with Mill House Inn. What a fun thing to do!! Yay!

Amazing how different the blocks look sewn in different fabrics. I thought your exciting news was that you were sewing for Joanna. Now you've peeked my interest.

Your designer mystery blocks are really nice, I'm behind on that BOM still need to make my blocks. If I had money to buy a FQ bundle Simple Abundance would be the one I would buy. Have fun with it.
Hi Sherri,
Stopped by for a quick hello and to see what wonderful work you've accomplished! Your blocks are marvelous. I love Brenda's new one and still rank Prairie Paisley as one of my favorite lines.
Taught my nieces and nephews some paper pieceing while on vacation. We all made little hexagon blocks. They were faciniated and so was I, just watching them. An awesome experience!
Take care,
Jody
Great blocks! Prairie Paisley is one of my favorites :) Actually, my next project is going to be used them. Simple Abundance is of course on my list, too! Can't wait to see what you are planning to make with them!
Love your basket! The ladybug is super. And I wonder if you will be able to wait more then... say 24 hours?
Your BOM's are great. I am behind on my basket blocks really need to get caught up. Have you gotten into the Simple Abundance stack yet????
Your design is simple and sober. I like all of them.

Not having been on your blog for a short time, means missing a lot of lovely projects. How fun it is catching up with you again, dear Sherri!!! And to see what you have been up to and organizing. Hope you are sleeping better again.
Don't you love the Mystery Designer BOM! The blocks are fabulous! I love the Glace, but I love the one you did with Prairie Paisley too! What a good idea! I might have to start a second one too!
