Something cute

Howdy,
My secret quilt top is done! Pictures will have to wait (for obvious reasons) how's your secret project going? I just had to show you this cute toque I made for Caleb today. It's soft and oh so warm.

Patience is a virtue

Howdy,
So after two years of patiently waiting I finally got my quilt stand. Andy's dad, Al made it for me. It's fir and maple and is all hand crafted-no screws or nails. It's going to live in the family room where I can look at it often.

Queen of the Procrastinators

Hey there,
All of your productivity has inspired me to finish something. So instead of working on big projects I finished a baby girl quilt for a little girl named Callie. I used up some of my flannel I've been hoarding and tried out my blanket stitch on my machine.
Keep up the work. It inspires me to finish works in progress.

Another one off the list!!!!

Hey ...

One more done:

DONE: Bento Box - I bought a couple of jelly rolls and saw this pattern on Crazy Mom Quilts Blog. I got out some graph paper and made myself a pattern. I am strip piecing this one together. I am almost half done the top of this one. I have this one quilted (as of today). I have to run to Wal-Mart to pick up some material to make the binding. I hope to finish this one today!!!!

Here is an up close:

I love the binding!!!!

An update on my to-do list!!!

Howdy ...

Below is my to do list from June 2nd ... I have actually got a few things done!!!! I have also added a few things to my list!!!

1. DONE - Kristy's T-Shirt quilt
2. Brown/Blue/Green/Red - brick road - needs to be quilted. I can't decide what kind of pattern to quilt on this one, that's why I haven't finished it yet.
3. Cirlce one that I started last summer. I can't find material for the back of this quilt. I have the top done just need to find a back.
4. Happy Go Lucky - This is the one from Crazy Mom Quilts Blog - I loved hers so I made my own version.
5. Strip Maze - I bought this kit at our quilt show. This is a really easy strip piecing quilt to do. I got it from Prairie Chicks Quilting, Scrapbooking & Country Gifts. I bought the lap size but wanted the twin so Michael picked up a second kit for me. These ladies are great! I have 27 squares made ... I need 63 total!!!
   
6. Bento Box - I bought a couple of jelly rolls and saw this pattern on Crazy Mom Quilts Blog. I got out some graph paper and made myself a pattern. I am strip piecing this one together. I am almost half done the top of this one. I have this one quilted (as of today). I have to run to Wal-Mart to pick up some material to make the binding. I hope to finish this one today!!!!
   
7. DONE!!! IT IS STUFFED AND ON MY CHAIR!!! Flower pillow - Mom bought me this for my birthday. It's so cute! She picked it up for me at our quilt show. She got it from the Quilt Patch. I have it all cut out and just need to finish hand sewing the little message before I put it all together.
8. Wall hanging for Grandma L - She really liked this wall hanging so I told her to buy the pattern and I would make it for her. She picked it up at our quilt show and got it from the Quilt Patch too. At this same time my Mom bought a welcome sign. I got to make that too. She said that is was a good deal for her ... she buys the pattern, I make it!
9. I bought a triangle ruler and I want to use it to make a quilt with too. It is awesome to work with. I have played around with it and it makes perfect squares!

OK ... so I haven't done very much on my to do list!!! I did finish these:

This is a pillow that Mom got me for Christmas while I was teaching in Taiwan!!!


This is the pattern "Turning Twenty". All you need for the top is 20 fat quarters. This was the first full size quilt top I ever made. I got done quilting it on Friday. I am giving it to Margot and Steve. They got married on 10/10/10!!!



There are a few more things to add to the to do list ... that will take more time than I have right now ... the ladies will be here for tea in 20 mins ...

Happy Quilting!

My Fabric Wreath

Hey ...

Last November a few of us from work got together to do a Christmas craft. We made Gum Drop pillows!!! They are so cool and easy to make too!!! This year we are making fabric wreaths. Here is my sample:


This one is for Mom. I had her stop in Regina and pick up a honey bun of materials that she liked. I am going to give it to her tomorrow!!! Everyone likes early Christmas presents ... or is that just me???

Happy Friday!!! ME
