Crazy girl

Howdy,
Remember how a couple of weeks ago I said no more hst's for a while. While scrolling Red Pepper (2009) finished quilts I saw this quilt. I think it would look pretty cool with all my crazy green fat quarters I have. Maybe with a solid dark grey or chocolate brown? What do you think?

To early for Christmas?

Hello!!!

I saw this advertisement for a new fabric line in the design of a Christmas tree. It was cute so I made my own version!!! I am giving it away as a shower gift!!! Can't you believe it ... I am actually giving something away!!! I do plan on making myself one too and maybe a few more for Christmas presents!! I think I will make the next version with plan green circles and busy decoration circles!!!

Here is my version:

Please note: I used Dallas' camera to take this picture and I can't seem to rotate any of the pictures. It was hard enough finding them on my computer. His camera saves stuff in an odd way!!! So you will need to turn your head to look at my cute tree!!!

The green material has little Christmas trees on it and the other circles are made from different scraps of Christmas material that I had!!

On another note ... I am almost finished the strip twist quilt. All I have left is the binding!!! I want to go outside and take some pictures later ... and to pick up some batteries for my camera!!!

Happy Quilting

Stringtastic



Howdy,
So after completing three wedding quilts this summer I decided to try something for me tonight. That's right, the string quilt. It's easy to do, you definately don't need to paper piece it. All you really need is a square ruler (and room to make a bit of a mess in). I'll probably try and make some more tomorrow but here's what I made tonight.

Wedding Quilt #3




Howdy,
Well as of 11:20 last night, I finished Gilbert and Jessica's wedding quilt. I even washed it before I packed it up for today's wedding. It features the bride's favourite colour, black, as well as some red (from the colours for the groom's senior hockey team).
