Sat I had the most awesome day of sewing. This was a one day retreat hosted by Maureen owner of Creative Edge Quilt Shop (no website). Actually I've had a couple of good sewing days last week. I started the blocks for this little topper at my stitching group and now it's ready for quilting. It's a Schnibbles pattern called Hot Cross. And then Sat I started a new quilt by making these basket blocks, another quilt pattern from my newest favourite book called Scrap Basket Surprises.
Here is the first quilt I made from this book.
I have to tell you Maureen is a wonderful host, she had all our needs and wants taken care of including a gift for each person and prizes throughout the day. She also cooked the most delicious Greek dinner. She must have been cooking for days to feed all us hungry quilters. It was a wonderful day! The next post I'll show a few pictures of the show and tell.
Happy Quilting. Until next time.

Love the cute Schnibbles and the fabric you used for it. I also really like the baskets in progress.
Wonderful quilt and blocks - looks like you had a grand time.
You have definitely been productive. Aren't times like this just the best? The more productive I am, the more energetic I am to do even more.
I'm seeing Schnibbles being made & described in blogs all over. I may have to get some of those patterns. They're so cute.
Love both projects!
Always love everything you do - I'm so glad you're (we're) sewing again. :-)
I just love that basket quilt. I've never seen one done that way and I quite like it, Wendy. Thanks for sharing the source for the pattern.
Between you and Mary from Quilt Hollow, you're both making me crazy with these beautiful Schnibbles quilts. I just love them!
What a super productive week! WTG!
Wow! I love the Hot Crosses quilt and the basket blocks!
Wow sounds like fun! And I LOVE your Schnibbles.
Your Hot Cross quilt is adorable. I've been seeing Schnibbles all over the place and thinking about doing some of them myself. They look so fun! I love your basket blocks, too. Great fabrics!
I'm so glad to see you stitching up a storm again!! Your Hot Cross in Valentines is perfect! Oh...and gosh darn if you are making me add another must do to my list!!
I love your hot Cross Schnibbles top. It looks wonderful. The blocks look amazing too. I have to buy that book.
Love both projects!! You have been on a roll over there. can't wait to see the pictures of your fun day.

Those baskets are awesome! I don't think I've ever seen that exact one before.
Getting some good sewing days in sure keeps a gal happy.
Your valentine quilt is so cute, thanks for sharing. I'm really liking your basket squares also, can't wait to see it done.
Sounds great! I'm a sucker for basket blocks, so I may try those. As I said before, I've had my eyes on that book for a while. If you keep showing these photos, I'm going to have to break down and buy it!
What a fun day! Your projects are darling. Can't wait to see your show and tell.
Just beautiful! I love this one too. Mmmm... Greek food is a favorite of mine!
Love your Schnibbles quilt! I am not participating in the Year of Schnibbles (too many other projects) but I am enjoying seeing what everyone else is doing with it.
Thanks for sharing!
I love the Hot Cross in Valentin's fabrics! Very sweet.
I love your Schnibbles quilt! It is so fun to have a great quilting day.
Can't wait to see more of your basket quilt.
You do such pretty piecing..love all the quilts and blocks you have shown in this and the past few posts.
A fun time quilting with friends is always good! I love the schnibbles x's and the baskets are wonderful too. It's a different basket then I've see before and I like how it looks like it is perching so daintily on the HST. Very nice!
Ooh, the Valentine fabric in Hot Cross is beautiful.
Sounds like you got alot of sewing done.
Darling baskets, what is the name of that basket? So cute!
I am such a sucker for a basket quilt. I do have that book and must look up that pattern!
This is pretty funny--the secret word I had to decipher prior to posting is "doped". Just how fabric makes me feel!
Yum Yum Yummy - love this pattern and your fabric choices. The basket quilt is adorable as well - me love basket quilts. Can't wait for the show and tell, you've been a busy girl and being away to sew always produces more doesn't it. There's no distractions of everyday life- just you and the machine :).
Hugs - karen
Very cute Wendy! Love the little baskets and I'm looking forward to seeing more about your stitching day.
Nice work, Wendy. You've been very busy! I love the chubby pinwheels and the Schnibbles one.
I spent my Saturday making those exact basket blocks!!!! They were from a kit I bought at a quilt show over a decade ago. I don't have the photos on my blog yet, but I will probably post tomorrow.
Love the Valentine quilt. Such fun and vibrant fabrics.
Oh what fun! Love your new tops - Hot Cross is perfect for Valentine's Day!
Love them both! Very pretty!
Oh those basket blocks are adorable!
Sounds like a very productive time. Love your version of the Schnibbles.
Oh I love your Hot Cross Buns quilt using the Valentine fabric...it's now on my list of quilts to make!
Wendy, your blocks are lovely. I shall have to google that book. Really like your quilt top too.
What an awesome show and tell! I really love the scrappy first quilt, with the tiny sashing, it is so pretty. Your unique baskets are inspiring!
what a sweet basket block. i've never seen one like that.
