Really need to post on sidebar.

9 Super Cool Quilty Things

Chevrons

I wanted to see if I could add pockets and crosses to t-shirts. I only had red chevron material as you can tell. I am about 45 minutes from the nearest quilt store, so I used what I had. I originally purchased the chevron material for the reversible purse which is shown below. Not sure if I will use any of them--I just had a few hours of fun in my quilt shack. 

Fresh Mini Quilt #2

This is the second Fresh Mini Quilt I have completed. I have one more that needs quilting and hope to finish soon. I have enjoyed making these small quilts. I truly need to work on my star points especially the ones that end on the edges of the quilt. 

Purple Passion and Snap Happy

This quilt is called Purple Passion. I found this pattern which needed two fabrics. I had a large piece of left over Cusco fabric so decided to use it. I have a passion for star quilts hence Purple Passion. It is 40 inches by 40 inches so makes a perfect lap quilt. 

Snap Happy

This is my Snap Happy project. Had a good time making it and want to improve on following directions and make some more. This one is about 7" by 7". Cute happy to have to give as gifts.

Two Posts in One Day

I joined the Fresh Mini Quilt Club -- at Canon Ridge Creations. This was our first month's mini quilt. I just love it on my table. The back is so pretty, I have two quilts in one.

Just a comment--I have been quilting with a longarm quilting machine for a couple of years. My lighting was awful but I really did not want to put out big bucks for lighting. So my husband put together a lighting bar and it is now incredibly bright. I just love it and know I will have many years of enjoyment out of it. Now, if my free hand quilting would improve. --yes, when pigs fly. I might add a photo when quilt shack is clean. I usually clean between projects.

Long Time -- No posts

This has been a busy year. I have not done a lot of quilting. I sure miss it.

Here is a quilt I finally got mailed. Sure hope Lily Grace got her quilt.

New quilt loaded

Just loaded this quilt. Now to decide how to quilt--think I will use hearts and flowers.

First of the Year Post

Oh, I cannot believe this is my first post of 2013. Where did January go? I really have been busy.

The first two photos are two baby quilts for a new grand niece, Sarah Frances, and a grand nephew, Oby.

I fell in love with the material for the first quilt. The material is called 'Lil Rascals. Baby Oby is named after my brother and we loved to watch the TV show The Little Rascals. I just had to make this quilt. This quilt was about 54 x 42, I think.

 

 

This next quilt for my grand niece was a Moda Bake Shop favorite. I just had to make it. It is a car seat quilt. I added ties on each side of the quilt. Size is about 25 x 30. My granddaughter, Josie Clare, just loved this quilt.

 

 

 

Love the back of the quilt.

 





 

Now this quilt is one I saw and wanted to make. My family always ask, "Now whose quilt is this?" I guess it is my quilt for now. The pattern is Hubble. I used Moda Cuzco collection and I had to have this fabric. I could not resist a fabric named after one of my favorite places--Cusco, Peru. I have posted a few photos because it was a beautiful day to take pictures. This quilt is about 70 x 70.

 

 



All the quilts were quilted on my Gammill longarm machine by me.
