Quilters "Block????"

Help, I needed a project?  A quilting block???  Had it finally happened?   And so the piecing began, I'm making flying geese.  In case you hadn't noticed, flying geese and stars are my "go to's."

This picture made me laugh, I must of snapped

a it while I was walking around the sewing room.

I always sew the scraps on flying geese together for a matching border... love it!

Hope you are enjoying a great weekend.  Happy Stitching!

Reily Quilt

It all started here, with this little swatch

 of fabric swirling around in my head!

I'm making a quilt for a grand nephew to

celebrate his first birthday.  Grand nieces

and nephew popping up all over the place

these days!

I thought, I'll put his name in it, and a 1 for the

birthday boy.  And I was off to the races!

How about a Mary Lou cupcake?

And maybe some stars????

And YELLOW!  This quilt is definitely yellow,

not usually my favorite, but it's great here!

It really gives the quilt the pop I was looking for.

Quilting now and a finish by the end of the weekend!



It's not perfect, but it's DONE!

I know why I usually stick to quilting!  I promised a friend a bag months ago and finally "got around to it."

As you can see, made with scraps from "Dia de los Muertos." 

And a matching lanyard...

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend.

Memorial Day Weekend

Hope you are having a restful holiday, I'm working on finishing the quilting on my first selvage quilt, and made a couple of key fobs this morning.

One for me and one for my girl the ball player.

Happy Memorial Day!

Finish! Dia de Los Muertos

Dia de los Muertos is now officially classified as a finish!  Pieced and designed by the Kelly Girl Quilter and expertly quilted by Judy Irish.  The quilting is fabulous!  I am linking up to the Bloggers' Quilt Festival to show it off!

Judy's quilting just adds the finishing touches; skeletons, flowers, houses, stars, applique and FMQ, it doesn't get much better than that in my book!

I love the way it's heavily stitched to make the

flower really POP, and the intricate design...sigh!

Sugar Skulls...
