I have been sewing...

You may not be able to tell by my blog, but I have been sewing lately! Last month I finished putting together my Christmas quilt using Moda's Figgy Pudding fabric and Mary's Cottage Quilt's Crossroads Pattern. I brought it to show at Quilt Guild in August and Mary was there doing our trunk show! She was so nice and did a great job!






Here is my next project I'm working on. Obviously in pieces :) This is using the fabric that I won from Camille's quilt parade last month. I am making a baby blanket, using the pattern that I got from Camille too! I am so excited to see how it turns out!

And here is a picture of my haircut I just got today. It's different from what I've had. I love it!

Asher's Quilt

I finally got this quilt finished for Asher's bed. I am glad that it is finally done. I used the Back Porch Bouquet Moda fabric. I used the Peas and Carrots pattern from Green Fairy Quilts. And my quilter did a great job on it. Asher is in love with it and wants to show it to everyone who comes over! Thanks Asher for loving it so much! I love you!

Finished Projects

Because I didn't get to showcase this one when I finished it except on my last post, I'm going to post it again, and show the other projects I've finished this week! I am trying to make room in my tiny little house for all these projects, so I have decided to not start anything else until I am done with what I've got going...I'm almost there!!

I bought this kit from the Quilt Shop Hop (see this post to see what I got) from Elaine's up on 3300 East. It is totally different from what I usually do. Lots of bright colors. Most of my colors are more muted usually. What do you think? I even quilted it myself after taking my class from Carmen Geddes at Broadbents. It's not great, but it is a first try...you can't tell from this picture how bad it actually is :)



I finally finished this quilt that has been sitting for a few months. I hand quilted this one and finished the binding tonight! Another one down!



And last project I finished this week is this carseat cover for my cousin! She's having a little boy anytime, so I am sending it in the mail to her tomorrorw! This is a super fast project that is so cute and fun to make!

My First Quilt

Here is a picture of my first quilt that I made. I told my mother in law that I didn't want to do anything hard, so I would just skip the applique. She wouldn't let me get off that easily, and now I'm so glad she didn't! I LOVE applique! So anyway, here it is:


And here is a picture of my lastest quilt. I love this fabric, it's totally different from anything I usually do. It's fun and bright and puts a smile on my face! And I even did the quilting myself on my Bernina!



And I've learned that going out of your comfort zone is the only way to learn something new...and that the iron can be your best friend when quilting. :)

Father's Day Quilt

I made this quilt for my dad for Father's Day. I love the colors in it and I even made sure to throw in some music fabric because my dad LOVES music. He has been the same band ever since I can remember. I love listening to them-I've always been kind of made fun of because of how much I love oldies music-but that's what I grew up with! My dad's band plays 50's, 60's and country music. Anyway, so I made this quilt for him because he is ALWAYS cold! :) He lives in Las Vegas for heaven's sake and always has a jacket or blanket on him when he's in the house! He called me this morning to let me know he got it in the mail and even told me it would be good for winter too to help keep his feet warm at night! :)



This is the first quilt that I quilted on my sewing machine. It was really fun to learn how to do. Of course, I couldn't wait for my class to start it, so this is pre-instruction. But I think I did pretty good!



I love my dad and want to wish him a Happy Father's Day!
