Do you want to see your finished quilt? I may have to try it out this weekend...it's so soft & fluffy...just sayin...
See the fluffiness???
Oh yeah, definitely going to try it out this weekend!!
What's that? Could it be? Is that your phone Dad????? LOL
It's waiting for you....
COME & GET IT!!!
Love you both!!
This past Christmas I made a few quilts as presents. This was the one I made for my Mom...
The colors were so yummy!!
And the little gem below was the quilt I made for my Mother-in-law...
Isn't her dog, Rosie, cute?? She's such a tiny little thing compared to my 4 yahoos!! LOL
(Psst...this is my 3rd post in a row!! LOL)
Alright I think that is enough excitement for today.
Thanks for stopping by!
for now. LOL
I love this card. The background paper, the simplicity, everything about it. I may have to add it to my card hoarder collection. Oh c'mon, you know what I am talking about. I am sure you have a stash similar to mine. LOL
Card deets:
- Stamps: All from A*Muse Studio
- Paper: Black, White & background paper from K & Company
- Inks: Ornage & Black Chalk Inks (yes, I have been loving my chalk inks lately!! LOL)
- Misc: All dies from A*Muse Studio, Halloween Twine & Sewing Machine
....
So yesterdays activities did NOT involve a movie. Nope, Robert took his mid-morning nap & that plan went right out the window. I am telling you, the guy could sleep the day away with all his naps! UGH!
Anywho, I kept myself busy. I put together my quilt basting wall in our single car garage.
This will make it 10x easier for me to baste together my quilts by myself. I can't wait to take it for a test drive!!
I also finished 2 quilts and started making some quilted drink coasters for the living room. Today I am planning on seeing that movie (unless more napping takes place) and maybe stamping & quilting. Yep, I think it's going to be another fun/relaxing day. I do love stay-cations!!
I think that's a wrap for now. My stomach is growling so I better get something to eat.
Hope you all have a WONDERFUL day & thanks for stopping by!
I had to cut a section of my backing off the quilt because it was too big. I couldn't let the discarded piece go to waste. Soooooo... I MADE A TABLE RUNNER!!! (I feel so crafty, I don't know what to do with myself. LOL)
Check it out...
Detail shots...
I love the stitching I used for the binding on this one. I wish I would have thought to use this on the quilt!!
Right now I have the table runner up on my kitchen counter because my dining room table is COVERED in quilting stuff. It is too funny. Perhaps I need a sewing room now?? LOL
OH! Before I forget, I will try to get the quilt pattern on the ole blog this weekend. I have to do a little scanning & such to make it work, so be patient with me. But I will do my best to get it posted THIS WEEKEND.
You will definitely love how easy & fast this quilt comes together!!
Alright, I am off. Have a SUPER night!
AND I MADE ONE!! In a weekend!! WOOOOOOT, WOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!
I went to a Quilt class all by my lonesome on Saturday and made this quilt:
Here are some detail shots:
And one more...
HOW CUTE IS THAT??? I absolutely love it. And it was sooooo EASY!!! I am going to be making my second one in the next couple of days. Before you know it, I am going to have a trunk load of quilts. I might even make some for gifts!
Anywho, I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for stopping by!
Hiding. Working. Sewing. Reading. Cleaning house. Laundry. Errands. You know...life in general.
I did finish a project though...something I am sooooo proud of! Check it out...
As you may remember from this POST, I did all the cutting and the sewing and completed the front panel. I had my quilt instructor do the quilting though...here is a couple of detail shots of what she did...
Isn't that pumpkin colored thread perfect??
The back REALLY shows the quilt pattern...
Gorgeous, huh? I think the pattern goes perfect with my fabric/theme, don't you??
And a finished quilt wouldn't be complete without someone to test drive it, right? LOL
I finished hand sewing the binding on yesterday. Oh my goodness, my hands are ACHING!! I don't think I will EVER do that all in one day again. LOL I do know that I will DEFINITELY be making more quilts though. What a sense of accomplishment when it is all said and done. It brings a smile to my face just looking at it.
Anywho, hope you enjoyed seeing my finished project. Thanks for stopping by!
