Hope you had a great weekend, I had three days and went to visit my folks and aunt. It was a nice trip and a long weekend is always appreciated.  

I made these little wallets last week for my daughter and her friends.  

This one is my fav...

... also love this word fabric.  The wallet is a  Valori Wells pattern that I threw in as an impulse purchase several months ago, quick and fun.

Hope you had a great weekend.  

Procrastinate

Procrastinate: to put off intentionally and habitually... as defined by Websters...  I have an admission, if you did not already know, I am a pro in the art of procrastination.  I finished this top last May, and there it sat.  Finally had it quilted and finished this week :) Yay!

Baseball themed quilting

The quilter put little a little swirly pattern on the jerseys as there were buttons and other obstacles.  I really like the way she made it all work!

More Quilting



Quilted by Margie Smith of Big Pine Quilts here in Reno, NV.
Thank you Margie

Plain blue back, it went to a new home yesterday!  Phew.

Fabric!!

In Las Vegas last weekend and made the trek to one of my most favorite fabric shops... actually, I went twice.  Lots of unique colorful fabric, here's some of the haul.

Two border/backing fabrics

This one same as above has a printed border.

Love this one for a quilt back.

And then these fat quarters...

This one unique, I had a skull fabric like this, I am curious if it's same designer??

Love it!

Dots!

Words!

A B C's

Here's the store... not an ad, just a fun place to hunt down great fabric!

Henderson, NV


And I have more, a lot MORE!!

Log Cabin Selvage Quilt Finish!

A finish on my Log Cabin Selvage Quilt, it's on my bed...nice and bright for spring!  

Here's the back, (also some black and white peace signs on the back), I was short a bit on the yardage for the back even when I bought the rest of the bolt of fabric.  I knew this was the backing for this quilt when I saw it.

The binding is... selvages, of course.

Sew the selvage on the back, then flip to the front and top stich.  I made this border about 1/2-5/8" on the front as I like a hint of the fabric showing with the selvage.  Also, the fantastic quilting by Judy Irish shines through in this close up... a shout out to Judy for her creative quilting!!  Best to you and yours this fine Sunday evening.

Squaring Up

Almost a finish on my Log Cabin Selvage quilt, this thing is a monster...a king for my bed!  It's back from the quilter and I squared it up yesterday. The first side of the binding is pinned on and waiting as I type.

Quilted by Judy Irish of Wild Irish Rows Quilting... wow!!!  Love this sun.

,Love it!  My binding awaits, and TGIF, almost :)

Who can resist??

Dr Suess and the Cat in the Hat??

I made burp clothes for a new baby boy in the family.

Some basketball too...

and Thing 1 and Thing 2!

I saw these for a little girl on another blog and would give credit if I had any idea where they came from???  Sorry about that.  If you make these use a "wonder under" type fusible webbing, what a difference that made once I used that as a stabilizer.  These diapers are a bit stretchy and difficult to sew on.  I made 5 more for a little baby girl as well. 

A little funny, my 17 year old daughter asked what that pile of white clothes was??  She had never seen or didn't remember cloth diapers!!! Yikes.

Also, on a little weekend get away and visited a couple fabric stores... new fabric, and a lot of it, coming soon!

Happy Sunday.

Quilt Gallery

My quilts on display, in my living room... my husband crawled around on top of a ladder for an entire afternoon to hang all those little wooden quilt holders, what a job it was. You can take a peek at my latest project on the design board on the bottom left.  I used my mom's new iphone to take the picture... these landscape pics are quite clever :)
