Hi Everyone

I am Jodie from "Paradise" http://www.quiltparadise.blogspot.com/ I look forward to getting to know you all a little better.

To Chooky and Peg, thanks so much for letting me join in. For some reason I had a head rush and decided I wanted to join a quilt-along with stitchery? Who'd have thunk it?

Anyway I have almost finished the "Potting Shed" so that means I am working on Block A.

The photo above shows the 10 fabrics I chose originally, but they are FQs so I have duplicates of some, but will have to add in some others. Will sort that out when it comes time to assemble the block.

I hope I am there at GDITC 2011 to show off my progress, fingers crossed it is NOT Saturday March 12 because that will be the only reason I can't come. Can you believe there have been three now? Seems so long ago when I went to the inaugural one.

Starting to waffle so I will end this post.

Jodie
