After I finished the Rainbow Bowties quilt earlier this week, I started thinking about what new block I could work on next for a new hand-piecing project.
Then I remembered that one of the blocks on my list that I want to make is a Hollow Nine Patch, and that would be an easy one to hand-piece. Eight 2.5 inch red squares and one neutral for the center were cut and are ready to stitch together!
This will be a long term project, and I'll need to get caught up on both red and green, but I'll continue cutting and piecing a few of these blocks as I have time.
I've also been embroidering the February heart from Melisa at PinkernPunkin Quilting for her Year of Hearts. This one is called "Country Mail Delivery." Those bluebirds make me think of the many blue jays we have around here. They aren't as sweet as these little birds, but they are definitely the neighborhood sentinels, telling all the news!
Both of these projects will get some stitches today.

Wouldn’t it be fun if bluebirds delivered our mail?
