Tea Cup Quilt

wish I would have done the quilting different, but I like it ok. I'm kind of scared to wash it.

Two more ready to ship.

These are for my new cousins in Oregon. I'm really pleased with the results of the maching quilting.

Kaylee's quilt

Brenna's quilt

Quilted, bound and ready to ship

Drews quilt.

3 little bears...

This is the last baby quilt that I have to make for a while, this one is for another new cousin. I really like the green on it. The 3 bears fabric I have had for years and never had a good use until now. Very pleased with the end product. I will bind it in the same green. But, to tell you the truth, I hope I'm done with pink for a while. I really should plan better before I start sewing, these are all the extra 3.5" squares I have, someday I'll learn to do that.
6 quilts all ready for my day on the long arm quilter, I'm sure I won't get through them all but I'd rather have to many than get them all done and have more time.

New Cards

My very talented husband loves to make things like this. I needed my number changed on my cards so he just redid the whole thing, didn't he do great. I love them. It has my phone number under my name, but for my piece of mind, I took it off for this post.

Kaylee's quilt

One more ready for my day on the long arm and one more to go. This is my favorite stack and wack pattern. But if you use more than 2 colors it is a pain in the butt.

Drews Quilt

I was at 'Trains and Fabric' in Tacoma peddling my patterns. I sold 6 to her and got all this fabric plus a dollar and change back. That's the way to shop.

And here is how I used it with a few pieces of my older scraps. I think I'll bind it with the blue. This is for my new nephew, Drew.

3 all ready

I have 3 tops ready for the long arm quilting machine on April 10th. Can't wait, I had so much fun the first time. This is one I made last year in Feb. and just finished the top. I had to add the part with the tea pots on and was not sure what to do there, not sure I really like the top part but it is ok and has been sitting around long enough. I'd like to have one more done just in case I run out of quilts and still have time left.

Brady's Quilt

I love the zig zag sashing, as you can tell by how many times I have done it.

More Wonky Houses

This is my March block, I love the little bunny in the window. I think we just have April and May to go. Can't wait to see them.

This is what I started this weekend, a "Now I know my ABC's" quilt, for my new nephew. I have 7 more blocks to go then I can start putting them together. I'd like to have it done by Saturday, when I go visit them, but not to likely 'cause I want to hand quilt it.

Happy Valentines Day

I put these hearts on tea towels and although I think the hearts are cute they really didn't work for me because the towels don't fold the way I like, oh well, I got a chance to practice my blanket stitch.

Judy's Quilt all done.

This is the effect I got from not pre-washing and using raw edge applique. Just what I was trying for.

All Framed Up

I spent the morning at Trains, Fabric ect. on the long arm quilter. I loved it, yep, I'm hooked! Can't wait until April when I scheduled another date. I hope Judy likes this as much as I do.

Febrary's Fabulous Flat

made by Patt Casadei

isn't it wonderful, she even sent a little heart button for the door knob when it is done being quilted.

Change of plans

The pattern does not specify that I should be making 3 each of these blocks but for the quilt to work at the end I have to. So I have changed my plan. I will just make a 12" star a day until I have enough to make a quilt, and hope I can find enough different ones to never repeat the pattern.

Just Playing

Last year for Christmas, my mom gave me this quilt calendar. I love it and spent a lot of time looking at it but never started it. This year I'll see how far I can go, without buying any fabric for these blocks. I'm always looking for ways to use up my scraps.

The first day is just a description of the quilt made with the first set of blocks. I have decided to wait to do the Court House Steps blocks until the end so I can see where it takes me. I don't want to be held back by the fabric chosen in those.

I know, like I really need to start something new!

Quilting Bee any one?

I finished this top years ago and just got it all basted for some hand quilting. It is 101"x101", yes huge, so who is up for some gossip, herbal tea and some hand quilting. Sorry no barn to raise for the guys. Wouldn't that be fun? Now how to quilt it. It may not be the prettiest quilt top but I love it because every piece of fabric in it reminds me of another project I did long ago.

Just a little something to brighten the new year.

I saw this fabric and couldn't resist, so I had to find something to make using it. I think the tea towels were a perfect way to start the new year, although we still don't have any snow.

Happy 2010

Yep, I finally found a use for this great fabric.
