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!!
