I finished something!!

I finally got some time and motivation to finish some sewing! I got two quilts done this week! Both are baby quilts (I had to start small :) ) I have no idea who they are for, but I love the way they turned out.

The first one is the fabric and pattern I won from Camille from her quilt blog hop this summer. (Thanks Camille!)




This second one has been my problem quilt. I had this fabric just sitting in my stash, so I decided to do something with it. I decided to use my new machine to quilt it too. Holy cow...what a process! I quilted the whole thing without checking the back first, when I was completely done I turned it over and saw that the tension was off and nothing was holding! I took my machine into Nuttall's and they told me it was the thread. So I picked out EVERYTHING and changed my thread and quilted it again. I looked at the back and saw it was EXACTLY the same! (Didn't I learn the first time?!) I took the machine back in to the same shop I bought it from and was about in tears telling her what happened! She took a look at the machine and played with it a little bit and fixed it! I took it home and picked out the 2nd quilting and got started right away--for the 3rd time!! Anyway, I love the way it turned out: Here it is!

Giveaway!!

Quilt Shop Hop

It's that time again! Quilt Shop Hop! My friend Janelle and I went to 16 quilt stores in 2 days! We loved seeing all the store options we have to get the fabric and patterns we love! Here is what I came home with...and guess what all but the two green fabrics are to finish most of my unfinished projects! How about that!!




Now I just need to get going on them all to finish them! Hopefully I'll be able to knock some out this weekend! Wish me luck!

My Work In Progress...

I know I haven't posted much new on here lately. I have been sewing...just not completing anything lately! haha Here is a picture of the quilts that are waiting to be finished...




See?? I really have been sewing! :)

My New Baby!!

I've outgrown my old one...so I needed a new one...this is the one I chose:




I AM SO EXCITED!!

Halloween Quilt

This is one of my favorites that I made. It was a lot of fun to make and create!


I love this one-I saw one with the same idea at quilting guild a few months ago and decided to make one for me! I printed all the pictures that I found from online onto muslin and then made nine patches to go in-between. I took closeups of my 3 favorite pictures and then I took a close up of one of the nine patches to show you the awesome quilting job on it. Each nine patch has a spider web in it and all the pictures are framed. The border has moons all around it. This has got to be one of my favorites that I've done and I didn't even have a pattern! Crazy!
