Welcome back to my month of blogging. I've joined NaBloPoMo again this year. It's a bit weird, but I enjoy the challenge of doing a daily blog post, but can't post any other time of the year. Who knows, maybe this is the turning of a new leaf.
I've been keeping busy with reading, knitting, quilting and a few other things. I'm making a list of topics to post about during the month so I can gradually dole out the updates.
Today, I started the piecing for a quilt that will be donated to Quilts for Kids. This organization collects throw-sized quilts to be donated to children in need. You can request a kit of pre-cut fabrics to make a quilt, with the hope being that you will donated one or two more when returning the completed quilt.
Here is a photo of the first half of my quilt. I probably would have finished the center section tonight, but had to stop to hand out Halloween candy.
I too made this same pattern for Quilts for Kids. I just finished washing mine and it will be mailed this week.
You can see a pic on my blog:

Charming quilt! And a blog post a day is a great ambition!

Beautiful quilt! It's so nice to meet you in the blogosphere and Twittersphere. :) I see we have much in common between scrapbooking, knitting, and blogging!
Good luck with NaBloPoMo. I did it in September, and while it was difficult at times, it was very rewarding. See you in Shimelle's class!
