snowing blizzards

Sam was invited to a little girls 4th birthday party last weekend.  Originally Chris had told me that it was the Saturday of Memorial day weekend which left me 2 days to find a gift for a little girl that I had only met once.  I asked Sam if she wanted to get her a [...]

I finally finished the quilt that I started at Quilting By the Lake last summer.  I have to say that I love it.  I’m incredibly happy with the way it came out.  There were some bumps along the way but they ironed themselves out (some literally) and I think it turned out great.

For those of [...]

The lights and darks are from a Hoffman Bali pop.  The pattern is another Cozy Quilt Design pattern Multifaceted.  This one for some reason felt like it took more thinking and effort to put together.  It was mostly me and not actually the pattern, I spent too much time over-thinking the color placement.

I finished these two tops a couple of weeks ago but haven’t been able to focus enough when looking at my computer to post them.  The pattern was Box Step the black and white came from the monthly happy hour class that I go to at the Granary.  They’re started alternating 2 1/2″ strip sets [...]

We recently found out that Chris’s cousin is ill.  I couldn’t do anything to help in person being a continent away, so I made her something to stay warm with.
We love you and are thinking of you everyday.

Monday I received my last “clue” for the mystery quilt I’ve been making.  I can’t tell you how much I love the final result.  If you remember Sam picked the ladybug fabric and with a little assistance (giving her some fabrics to choose from) she chose the coordinating fabrics. Without further ado here is the [...]

For Christmas I received a block of the month club membership at my LQS for the year.  We meet once a month and are hoping to finish 2 blocks a month.  I missed the first months meeting because we were still in Costa Rica but luckily I didn’t miss anything too detailed.  This Saturday is [...]

As I mentioned previously I made a quilt for my sister Dana as well this year.  I didn’t have time to quilt it before Christmas but the top was done.
The pattern is Romantic Getaway.  Like the quilt for Laura it is a design made for using strip packs.  It was super easy and simple to [...]

Now that the beast has been given I can show off pictures of it.
The pattern is Buckeye Beauty.  It is a wonderful and easy pattern to put together and I loved that I didn’t have to do any finicky triangle piecing.  I’ve never done the “tube” triangles before but I must admit that I’m a [...]

Front of the baby quilt. It was made only with fabric from my stash. I think it came out well and will hopefully make a little baby and it’s parents very happy.

The back. I used large strips of the fabric that is in the center of the blocks on the front. I [...]
