Welcome!

Today is Alberta's day in the spotlight for the Sew Sister's Blogathon Canada.
Today I am showing you steps 3 and 4 of my Prairie Quilt Mercantile's Facebook Cracked Pots Mystery Quilt.
So, without further hesitation I present you with:
Two Hundred and ten (210) of these little squares!
They are very cute, but as I will show you tomorrow, I am quite DONE with making these sort of little squares ; )
Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the blog world here at the North Pole (a.k.a. Edmonton in winter)! Now off to finish some more warm wooly socks.
Hope this inspires your own creativity...

    1. Welcome Debra! Glad you're joining in. Quilting and Quilters are a great group of people to get to know. Neighbors really, even though it's through a virtual world : )

    1. Thanks Adrienne. One of these days I will start on a couple of the projects (other than the yarn stash that filled my carry on suitcase) that I picked up from Halifax to Charlottetown this summer and post them here : )

    1. Too Funny Deborah! Glad you stopped by for a "visit". I was getting quite discouraged with the whole process and was almost ready to bail on it when we got the two weeks break! I started two weeks behind due to short staffing at work, work more than full time most weeks still, and do all the "mom" things! So far I have managed 82/112 of Step 5 : )

  6. I know what you mean, I had to make 224 small 4 patches, I never thought they would end. arg. They are worth the effort as I'm really liking how my project is looking, I suspect you'll feel the same, though I am happy to stay away from 4 patches for a while.
