BFQQ Giveaway

Today my quilt is being featured over at

Quilter's Newsletter

They are doing some really great giveaway's to 

promote their new issue.

Today they are giving away a two FQ bundle's!

Hop on over and check it out...

In the meantime, I'm just finishing up
this quilt that I've been working on.

Oh how I love Joel Dewberry!

2 Finishes + 1 Freak Out

I finished these two quilts just in time for Christmas.

First up, my brother-in-law's

Single Guy Quilt!

made from this pattern.

This is seriously one of my all time favorite's!

Ever!

I suppose I really am a simple gal.

I gush over clean lines and fabulous colors!

For the back I used up my stash of Loulouthi Flannel.

It is the softest, most scrumptious flannel 

that ever ran through my machine.

Next up, a quilt for my Mom...

This quilt was a beast to photograph in it's entirety!
Made using this pattern.

I really loved the herringbone binding.

Navy blue has been calling my name lately!

Since I pulled this quilt right from the dryer and 

immediately wrapped it this is the best picture I snapped of it.

Yes I know it's upside down, argh!

Now my legacy is complete.

If I die walking down the street today every household 

in my family can say that I made them a lovely quilt.

So morbid!

And lastly, I try so hard to keep my distractions

to a minimum because I have a big family who needs me.

I don't really do anything with Instagram, Facebook, yaddee yadda...

because I want to be available.

But every now and then I look up from my sewing machine

(dishes, laundry....pick your poison)

and I see that my kids are growing up at hyper speed.

Sappy but oh so true!

Grandma and B

Just yesterday this kid was running around in a diaper.

Today, he is towering over all of us!

Next year he'll be walking the halls of the high school 

with his size 12 shoes.

He's only 13!

When did this happen???

That's all.

*kona grass, lime, and white. Heath in gray.  Shot cotton in Aegean*

*Kona snow, sand.  Joel Dewberry Modern Meadow assorted.  And some other random pieces that I don't recall *

Long time....

....no post!

We had a lovely Christmas break filled with movies, food and family.

Just the way it should be.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas break as well :-)

I got a special present on Christmas Day.

This magazine came out .....

featuring one of my very own quilts! :-)

It's soooo fun to see it in print!

The idea of pinks, corals and mustards was largely inspired 

by my friend Toni's baby girl.

My daughter has since been seen wrapped up in this quilt 

for nearly the entire Christmas break!

My kids go back to school tomorrow

and I'll be diving into a custom Shelby.

I am very excited for this New Year!

Press Pause

Earlier this week I learned that quilt #2 

was to be delivered this friday!

That gave me only 4 days to pull it off.

So, quilt #1 was put aside for the week.

I'll get back to that one next week.

I used my Brody pattern and copied borrowed this color palette

from the lovely Sew Katie Did.

She made a fabulous triangle quilt some time ago and 

I have been drooling over it ever since!

Anywhoodle, back to the matter.....

this quilt is for my brother in law
(I'm 1000% positive he will not see this post).

He's all young and single and hip and cool!

I'm hoping that he'll find a girl he's crazy about 

and use it for some quality snuggle time.

Tomorrow, I'll be binding, wrapping and delivering it.

Cheers!

The shame!

CONFESSION:

I don't normally make any Christmas presents.

none.

I feel horribly guilty about this when I see 

all of my quilty friends making such lovely things.

Christmas is pretty stressful on it's own without adding to it 

the anxiety of sewing late into the night 

every.single.night.

So I just don't.

But that all changes this year!

I am making, not one, but two rather large quilts 

for loved ones this year.

First up.....

the Giant Vintage Star Quilt

I spent some time on Saturday basting this quilt

since it was horribly cold and gray outside.

I have had these fabs on ice for the last 2 years.

I won't say who it's for just incase.

Now it's time to get busy top stitching!

Thanks for popping in :-)
