baby, baby, baby

another baby quilt!! i don't feel like i can get away from these. i feel like i need to do something BIG!!!! :):) i have a friend whose daughter is due at the end of this month so i wipped this up sat, sun and mon. it sure is bright but i like it. it's all fabric that i had which i LOVE!!!

the back is chambray and the red star binding. it's a fun baby quilt!!

hope chambray is spelled right otherwise my critic reader will correct me and tell me how dumb she thinks i am and that i'm better than that. to be honest i'm not better than that because i usually post quickly now a days.:)

like seeing an old friend...

my issue with my machine was a tention issue and it is completely fine now. it's like seeing and old friend that you haven't seen for awhile. you just want to send as much time as you can with them. sad i know but i haven't really quilted for a month and a half almost two months. that's a lifetime for someone like me! :) so i was able to finish my friend's baby quilt.

the stippling went great!!! when you haven't done it for awhile it seems strange at first. then you pick it right up again.

the binding is a GREAT stripe! i just LOVE it!!

these are fabrics that she already used (i added a few) but she already had the basic color scheme. she loved it! i think today i'm going to work on making some totes for some teachers. i'm just so happy to have the day off that i can do some sewing. have a FABULOUS day!!!

way toooooooo long

it has been tooooooo long since i've posted. i've been working a lot and then spring break and no machine until now.

the guy couldn't find anything wrong with it after two and a half weeks so i just went and got it. it's okay. i'm having bobbin issues. very frustrating!!!!! but it's getting better.

these are two blocks from some bees i'm in and i'm starting to work on some other things. hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

not again

well i was in the beginning stages of stippling when my machine went crazy and it's getting fixed again. this is a baby quilt for a friend that her show was on sunday. i gave her a picture of the quilt in progress and a little outfit. :) i should have taken a picture of that. SO CUTE!!! this is one of the oh frasson blocks just by itself. i REALLY like this block. it would be great with some solids or solids to break up patterns.

i'm so glad that i finished a february block before my machine started having problems. it's getting fixed right now and i have plenty of time to do my march blocks. phew!!:)

i forgot to take a picture of my orange shoes that are the reason for this plaque. i LOVE it. and i LOVE shoes!!! :) one of these days i'll remember to take a pic of them. hope you have a GREAT rest of the week!

quilts for friends

this is lemon drops finished. i made this for my friend kathi. she just recently got a job and i thought i remember her saying she liked yellow and so i made her a quilt.

i used some katie jump rope fabric as the binding and LOVE it. this is very soft on the eyes. i do LOVE bright but this is a fun change.

i'm a geek and i love it!! :) i made the card to match. i was able to give it to her saturday and she liked it!!

this was for my friend jody who also got a job recently and i was so happy for her. they are both working at the same school in the same area. she liked her quilt also. it can be very difficult making quilts for people that you don't really know what there style is in there house. although, barely any of my quilts match my decor but some people want everything to match. me - not so much.

for the back i used two fabrics that i already had a green and an orange ginham.

i used a solid orange on the binding...

and i made a card to match again. :) i'm now working on a baby quilt for a shower i have this sunday. i better get cracking. what are you up to???

while i've been working

i have still been able to finish some things up and start some new things. this is a red and aqua quilt for my niece jessica. i told her i would make it for her months ago and i finally finished it. hope she liked it!

i pieced the back together with what i have so not to buy any fabric that i don't need!! :) i guess i'm going to use those cherries till the very last little bit!

the binding is also fabric that i've had for quite awhile. brought yards and yards of it but am now using it so that's good.

i know i wasn't going to show sneek peeks but oh well. this is all from scraps and i got the idea from amanda. she used different colors i stayed in the same color because i have someone in mind for this quilt called lemon drops. :) very fresh and clean!!! i really like it!

and here are a couple bags i made for a couple ladies i've been working with. they happened to comment on a bag of mine so i made them one. they are a little older and were SOOOOO sweet about getting a bag. it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun to GIVE!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!

same bag different colors. i hope you all have a FANTASTIC day and i will be back here fairly soon!!! blessings!!! :)

barn raising

i really am in LOVE with this quilt! it is my hubby's new favorite!! he loves the bold and bright like i do! :) i did a simple straight line quilting on this and LOVED it. it's nice to do something different every once in awhile. i sure do wish i was a better photographer.

i don't know it you can see the pattern (from quilting) on the back - it is sooooo fun!!

i tried to take a bigger picture of it but i don't think that you can see it. but the back is fun and it was a duvet that i bought at a second hand store for 6$. it was queen size and it has made two backs for me. the other one went on the oh cherry oh quilt.

i used some of my last bit of katie jump rope. i have just a bit left to go in a star quilt i started last year that i did carry over into this year. this quilt was supposed to be square but i didn't want a square quilt so i took two rows off from each side. to me it worked and i was happy!!! hope you have a great day!!
