February came and went and I am still current with my quilt  blocks that are being done monthly.  well, sort of current.  My Clementine BOM came out on the 25th and it is cut but not sewn together yet, and my Autumn Splendor Mystery BOM came in the mail on the 23rd, and it is cut but not sewn yet.  I am current with the Pat Sloan "In the Summertime" weekly block , the "Community Sampler" weekly block, Quilters Planner BOM  and the My Quilting Life weekly block.  I have yet to receive the Batik BOM instructions from my friend who is making this quilt, but she thinks she is getting them this week so I can get it cut and sewn. I did finish "The Long and Short of It" quilt top and hopefully I can get it to the quilter next week.  I have really gotten into more than I need to but I cant wait to have all those beautiful quilts eventually.  My family is excited also because they will get the majority of them.  Hubby came home around the first of February, and spring is coming, so grandbabies activities have increased.  Soccer on Sunday afternoons and gym meets on the weekends are keeping us busy.  Grandbaby #2 is going to play softball and it will start soon, so that will involve nights during the week.  It gets crazy, but I would not miss one thing!!!  My babies did not have grandparents that could attend their activities, so it is my mission to be there for them.  I lost my mom when I was pregnant with my second child, so 2 of my children never met her.  She had a wonderful 15 months with my first child and they were best buddies.  I miss her everyday!!  My dad was the rock of the family and he was great with helping with the kids and making sure they learned all the things they should, but his arthritis kept him from bleachers and walking long distances.  Now if he could get his truck close enough to watch he was there!  I lost him 6 years ago this month and my life will never be the same without those two.  OK, lets get on to happier things.  Here are some of my blocks.......

  Quilters Planner March block

Community Sampler- there is nothing wrong with starting early on Christmas-

Pat Sloan- I have done all 5 blocks that have been shown so far-

 A Quilting Life weekly block, the second block is cut but not sewn-

and the biggest challenge of all, "The Long and Short of It" quilt top-

Well, that's what I have been up to, and I have enjoyed every minute of it.  I hope March is as fun and challenging.  I can tell my skills are getting better because my points match better and my corners meet, most of the time.  HaHa!  Be safe and happy. Hug those you love.  Do some random kindness daily to a stranger.  Pray for our country, our soldiers and their families, our government leaders.  God bless yall!!!
