Preperation for Pay it Forward

If you read my blog, you probably have noticed that I stick pretty much to easy, and that's ok, but for Pay it Forward I would like to try something a little different. The little quilt below is about 13 inches by 15 inches, and is from a book that I got by Debbie Mumms. It is appliqued Easter eggs, and is the only applique that I have done to this point (except for a little heart on the back of a quilt that I accidently made a hole in). I think it's kind of cute, but I decided that I needed a little more knowledge.
Today I checked out the website for our LQS and they were having several classes, one of which is for the little block below. It is part of a quilt that they are doing a block a month, but I only have to do the one block if I want to. I think that if it turns out nicely, it might be an idea for the Pay it Forward, if not, at least I will have a little more knowledge and hopefully will have enjoyed my class.

We bloggers sacrifice for our blogs. My DH is always getting onto me about climbing on stools and chairs and such, and I'm glad he wasn't home tonight. I have a little ladder about 2 feet high, and when I was trying to get the Easter egg quilt off the top shelf of the closet I took a tumble and things were flying everywhere. I broke the bottom shelf on one of my bookcases, but luckily not any bones. I'm dreading what might ache tomorrow though.

The little egg quilt is adorable, but gee, you sure went through alot to get to it. Ouch! Hope you're not too bruised tomorrow!

My husband always says "You need to be more careful", like I fall down on purpose. Hope you aren't to sore tomorrow. Enjoy your class and whatever you learn new.

I've just started a new course at my LQS and yesterday, the first day, we made a mariner's compass block. Challenging to say the least. I'm not happy with mine so will have another go before the next class. Good for you, joining the applique class, that's next on my list. I haven't even thought about my PIF gifts yet, too busy sorting out my new sewing and craft room. I do hope you're not too stiff and achey today.

Oh my, I am glad you didn't break any bones! A fall is always such a shock to the system.

Cute Easter quilt.

Golly! Hope you're ok! When we drove the village the other day I saw the window cleaner standing bolt upright on his ladder and I thought that if it had been me on the ladder I would have been hugging it close. It made me think how different we all are which is a good thing. That block will be beautiful and it's always nice to learn new things1

Really cute egg quilt. However, I hope you have learned your lesson about climbing on things, especially when no one else is home, lol. Not good, not good. I am sure you have spots that are hurting that you didn't know existed, but at least you didn't break anything.
