We have a Winner...and then some!

I'm so sorry for taking so long to post this . Too much to do.. I'm sure you can all relate. But without further delays I present the Winner of our first challenge, drumroll please.... TADA!!! It's Tarrah from The Pottery Shed!

Tarrah will receive a wonderful bag of wool scraps perfect for her next step on the Wool Crazy journey, the fun part, the applique. Hooray! Congratulations to Tarrah. =)

But wait! I have more prizes... the other three ladies who worked so hard to complete the challenge will also receive a prize, yes! I love a challenge and although I personally flunked, these ladies did not, and that alone merits a prize ...and how's this for a super dooper cool prize?
A Quilt Like Crazy wood sign! To Tarrah, Jeanne, Kim and SD Quilter, thanks so much for taking part in the challenge and please do send me your mailing addresses via email so I can mail your prizes .
Hope everyone is having fun Quilting Like Crazy! B=)

Last Call for Pictures!

Did you take me up on the challenge?

Did you post your picture?

Hurry, this is the last call for pictures! =)

Picture As Promised

Here is my partially done block, this is my "farm" block, I plan on putting a little barn and a windmill on it yet. Maybe some other farmy stuff too, haven't quite decided yet. I am debating on doing all the embellishments and then doing the embroidery work or doing the embroidery work on each piece as I go along. It is fun working on it, relaxing and TIME CONSUMING TOO.

Moving Along

Life has a way of interfering with my crafing. It's uncanny the way it always seems to make fun of me and my plans. I started Saturday nice and early and was on my way to success when I was sideswiped by "life". Isn't that always the way?
Needless to say, I lost my mojo, I lost my stride... and I didn't finish my block! Woe is me. =(
I did however make a big nice dent in it so here you go, this is what I have to show for my efforts. Nowhere near four hours but almost 3/4 done. I'd say, it's moving right along. See? My glass is half full, today! LOL!
The pins are there to stretch the pieces because I am too lazy to iron after every stitch. hahaha. I am using fusible batting so once it's ironed the pins go...see how some parts have no pins??? Those parts have been ironed.
It's looking pretty good, if I should say so myself. =)
Now for those who have not started I have to tell you, if you're not paying attention to what you are doing, crazy piecing will kick your butt! hahaha. Yes, I am no fan of piecing and I have to tell you that this crazy piecing is not helping my opinion of this particular step. I'll have to take pics of my
goofs to post separately. I just wanted to share what I did get done. And ask that those who signed up for the challenge post their pics. C'mon! You can show it, even if you didn't finish it, you stepped up to the plate so share your work...
I'm hoping to finish my block this week. I'm moving along. It's not about speed, it's about endurance. And as we say in Spanish, "Yo voy a Mi!" Loosely translated that means, "My money's on me!" Life will always get in the way, but we all have to work around those challenges so here's to moving along! Woo-HOO!
Oh, and post those pics...I'll wait till Wed to draw the winner. B=)

My Block Progress
