Kitchen Windows

Made it for my bed, but of course not a king size.  I'm the only one who needs a quilt, so why bother making a king size, if half of it doesn't get used?  Plus, it adds color to the bottom of the bed.

Quilt Stats:
Made from the Practical Guide to Patchwork...again.
I added one more row and one more column to make it a bit bigger.
Made with Innocent Crush prints, Kona Black for the frame, and Kona Charcoal for the sashing.  Bound with another Innocent Crush print, not used in the quilt.

New Table Decoration

I think I've been reading too much "Practical Guide..."  this is the 2nd of 3 projects, with one more in the works. 

Anyway, it's a placemat/table decoration.  Made from one block of the "sunspot" pattern.

 And here it is in its new home....I really wish the sun was shining.

Fenced In Quilt

I finished this one a few weeks ago.  I used the "fenced in" pattern from Oh Fransson!'s book, The Practical Guide to Patchwork. 

It looks great in my new spare room.  And of course I had to make some matching pillows. Some stacked blocks on the right, which I've seen too many places to count here.  The one on the right was made using the mod mosaic pattern from Oh Fransson! again....it just seemed right with this pattern.  I do wish I had quilted the mosaic one, but it will do for now.

Living Room Quilts

Okay, I'm really behind. I've just been scoping out other peoples stuff, being inspired, and not sharing anything I actually got done. This one was completed a few weeks ago, inspired by this quilt - http://craftyblossom.blogspot.com/2010/05/cross-my-heart-quilt.html. I saw it and just had to make one. And since dh decided that the last quilt I made for the living room was too small, it worked out to make it in matching colors. I do think this is my first all solid quilt. I like it.

Made with all solid Kona cottons, quilted with black thread in horizontal lines, backed with a black walmart sheet, and bound with more Kona brown. At least it's his size.

Here's the one that was "too small". I like it anyway. This one was finished a while ago...I think around Thanksgiving. It was inspired by this quilt: http://www.cluckclucksew.com/2008/12/baby-boy-bug-quilt.html


I'm not 100% sure on any of the fabric, just some solids I bought that matched the flower print. I did get the print from Joann's. The binding is the black version of the same print. I like it...even if it is small.

Buttercup Bag

Made a new Buttercup bag today....

Outer fabric by Laurie at Scarlet Fig. She designs wonderful original fabrics.

And a inner pocket of Heather Bailey Pop Garden.... Just to brighten everything up.

Sewing...and More

I've been busy over the last few months sewing stuff for gifts. Now that the holidays are over, I can finally share them.

A quilt for my sister....

An apron for my mom....
