Christmas Project #3 (5 and 6)

I am finished this project

I made these a while back

I made quilts a while back for an adorable pair of twin girls

and then afterward decided I needed

to make smaller versions of the quilts

for the girls and their dollies

just the perfect size for cuddling with a dolly

One for Scarlett

and one for Royal

I modified the Weekender quilt pattern that I used for the girls quilts

and they match

I know their mom is probably wish I hadn't used

white fabric

I hope the girls like them!

Happy Wednesday

Christmas Project #2

It is already almost the middle of December

no presents are wrapped

shopping is not finished

baking is no where near done

the weather, well it is not cooperating

but I have been sewing

back again this week with another Work in Progress 

Christmas Project to share

This one is for a special little girl

I stopped in at a small town quilt shop while travelling this summer,

They had THE cutest quilt up on display

I know my kids were too old for this fabric,

but the quilt stayed in my mind

A few weeks ago

I asked a special little girl what she would like for Christmas

her answer...

She would like a quilt

My mind went right to this fabric and pattern!!

It is so cute!

Happy Wednesday

Christmas Music Share

I think it is safe to start playing Christmas music, 

I know this because even the radios station are playing it!

I am still sewing, got a few projects started, 

got some finished even!

Need to get taking some pictures!

I am sitting here now, 

typing on a new computer, 

Sadly my laptop died

So Merry Christmas to me

a New MacBook Pro

Much to be learned from a PC

But that is ok, I hurt my back the other day

so I have time to sit and learn it

Enjoy Justin Beiber,

This is the only song of his I like!!

Happy Tuesday

Hello

I am still around

November has turned into a very busy month around here,

a weekend away in Minot,

a weekend away to Crop and Create

a weekend to a trade show with my Scentsy

through in 2 family birhdays

and 2 friend birthdays!!

corral building during the weeks

busy, busy, busy!!

I usually start my day with a coffee

a brief stop to my facebook

then a stop in with Pinterest

Love Pinterest

this morning I found

Such a Sew and Sew

She had a link to this song

I found it amazing

I seem to have soft spot in my heart for a piano

and the string instruments

No I don't play any instrument

at times I wish I did

 

I thought I would share with you

Happy Wednesday

Cody's Quilt 4

I have finished another easy quilt

mind you not by the deadline

set for me by the recipient!!

I made all my children quilts years ago,

when they all had smaller beds,

they have since all grown to bigger beds

see my dilemma!!

Cody was the first to ask for a new quilt

He picked the same colors as his bedroom

which he had picked those colors from his first quilt

I used a super easy pattern

I found on Pinterest

It is a brick pattern from Moda Bake Shop

It was a beast of a thing to quilt

I used  micro fibre blanket for the backing, as well as a layer of batting,

so he should be nice and warm

Next project, nice little doll sized quilts

Thanks for stopping by

Happy Monday





Cards

I packed up my sewing machine one day this week

 

so I could make cards.

 

I needed a few made, still need a few more

 

but at least I got started.

 

 

I made this first one as an anniversary card

yes, I even made the envelope too

cool huh?

 

 

and a sympathy card

 

I will be back later this week to share my sons quilt with you

 

Thanks for stopping by

Happy Saturday



Twin Quilts 2 and 3

Beautiful twin quilts

for

beautiful twin girls

I LOVE this Fabric!!

Vintage Modern for Moda

By Bonnie and Camille

I first seen it when I came across the

Camille half of the partners blog

Simplify

This woman has the BEST sewing room EVER!!!!!

I tweaked the

Weekender pattern, that I used in my OLIVE quilt

I wanted to make it for a twin sized bed

I added a row with the girls names,

and 2 more rows of patches to make them longer

Cute right??

I just loved them

(it was a cloudy rainy day when I finished Scarlett's,

 so I was unable to photograph outdoors)

I hope the girls love them as much as I did

I am glad I have lots of fabric left to make myself

a Vintage Modern quilt too!!

I wanted to share with you, a picture of the girls enjoying their cozy quilts

Thanks for stopping by

Happy Thursday

Fall

I made myself a set of fall place mats

 

and a table runner,

 

while it was still summer.

 

Not long ago, when the kids started school

 

my youngest says, "since we are in school

 

that means it is fall, time to switch to the fall stuff"

 

 

I used a basket weave pattern

that I found on Pinterest

it is from a pattern at the Moda Bake Shop

 

The pattern was used for a rug, but I wanted to make a table runner

 

The pattern calls for jelly rolls strip which are 2.5 inches to be folded in half,

I folded them for the table runner,

but decided I liked them better at their full width for the place mats

 

The one above is my favorite

 

Again like my summer set, none are the same

 

Sorry for the poor color and lighting, we had cloudy weather the day these were taken

 

Sorry that they are dirty, I had thought they were straight out of the wash, guess not

 

Happy Monday

Olive 1

I finished it

I finished my quilt

I LOVE it

I was really unsure about the colors to begin with,

But really like it now

I used an Olive green for the sashing

which is where she gets her name from

Olive

The Fabric was a charm pack

Beach House by Moda

as I said in my last post

I used a free pattern I found on Pinterest

from Moda Bake Shop

I also got my hands on some old kitchen chairs

Love them too

Great for photographs

See

nice chair huh??

not a bad quilt either

I used flannel for the backing, the flowers are very close to the front colors

Quilted it in a simple rectangle pattern

used the backing fabric for the binding

I Like it

Now just to decide where she gets to live

Happy Monday
