My sister's baby quilt

Baby Gift

Here is a gift I made for a friend at work. I love the fabric I used for this baby car seat cover!



Here is a burp cloth and onsie that I made for her too.

Aprons

I have been sewing...I've made so many aprons in the last couple months it's not even funny. Here are some of the fabrics we have done with my pattern.








They are in China being made right now. Look for them to be sold on http://www.ohmycrafts.com

Blush

I have loved all of the fabric that Basic Grey has put out. Blush is no exception. This is a wall hanging I made for my boss, Sandy (from Oh My Crafts). I've been wanting to do a quilt like this and it was easy and fun to make. Now I'll just have to make one for me! :)

I Finished Something!

It's about time that I got something finished! I've had the top and the back done for this quilt for at least 3 months now. It's just been sitting there, begging for me to quilt and bind it! So the other day, with a million other things I should have been doing, I pulled it out and began quilting it. I was about half way done when I ran out of thread. I went to Broadbents the next day and got more thread and finished it up! Take a look, I absolutely LOVE it!





I used Moda's Figgy Pudding by Basic Grey. I saw this material and had to have it last year at the quilt shop hop! I used Mary Cottage Quilts' Crossroads pattern. I loved every minute of making this quilt, from start to finish. I have to say sometimes after I finish the top, or I've quilted it, I just wanted it to be done. But this one I thoroughly enjoyed the whole way through. Mary, from Mary's Cottage Quilts, was actually at our quilt guild the night I brought the top of this to show off. It was a little intimidating, but she said she loved it!

I'm so glad to have one of my projects done! I'm working on a few others. I'm hoping this year will be a HUGE year of completion and closure for me! Here's to 2010!

Working

So I have been sewing, just not a ton of quilting. I am making aprons for work so they can take them to China and have them mass produced. I guess they are a little cheaper than I am! ;) So far I have made about 6 of them. When I get them all done, I will take some pictures and post them! Until then, back to sewing...

We did it!

Jandi and I made it into the top 10! Now we just need you to help us by voting! You can do that here! Thanks!!

My Newest Quilt

My friend Jandi invited me to do a contest with her for allpeoplequilt.com. I am really excited to enter this one. It was a lot of fun to be creative and decide how I wanted to embellish this quilt. I'm really happy with it! I made the picos all the way around it, made the yoyo flowers and used ribbon to make the stems and connect all the flowers. Then I quilted the whole thing too! It took a lot of hours and hopefully she and I will win and it will all be worth it! haha

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!!

Check out the Pumpkin Patch Primitives giveaway here! I love the fabrics and hope that I win! Good luck to everyone!

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!
