Not dead!

Well you'd think I'd fallen off the face of the earth for how often I've posted here lately. I'm not dead - really! Latest bit's and bobs from the sewing room...

Blocks I've received
Looks like I'll only have to re-make three of the blocks and maybe make four more to get the size I want... still not sure of the layout and I've got two other quilts in the works right now too so I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to actually get any further then sticking these up on my wall! lol But after I took down the color quilt it was so barren I really need to put something up there to cheer the place up! Anyway it's kinda fun to see them all together so I thought I'd share. BTW this is not the final placement by a long shot... I just chucked these up there to see them all together and get a first evaluation of them. =)


Made for Cristalskye
It's funny I didn't realize how similar these blocks were till I finished the second one and went... heeeeeeey! I'm slow like that, lol. At least the values are different enough to set them apart.
I also really enjoyed the limited pallet. It was thinking I wouldn't like being so restricted but I actually love the way they turned out and have enjoyed seeing everyone else's blocks for this quilt as well.


Made for Mommy09
Well like everyone else I felt the call of the flower for this spring themed quilt! However I wanted to take a simple modernistic slant... which means she got two out of the deal instead of just one. Heehee. These were fun and easy to make... kinda makes me want to do a whole quilt of them. =)

TTMT - Dec. 22

Can't say

It's not that I haven't been quilting or making stuff, it's just they're Christmas presents so I can't spill the beans yet. Hoping for a good craft night with friends on the 16th of this month to really get some stuff done. Hope everyone had a nice turkey day!

Finally did another block! It's been ages, really. It's not perfect with my one mellon that's off a little bit, but I'm not going to redo it. I'd rather spend the time trying to get another one done this coming week. After that we'll see... travel and holidays shall complicate my creative life.

Dear Jane

I met some local ladies on-line (yay Ravlery!) who've started a Dear Jane group. I'm hoping to meet up with them tonight for the first time. Who knows maybe I'll actually get some blocks done!

Last week's talk to me tuesday

Happy Belated Halloween!

Bloggers Quilt Festival

Hi everyone! Thought I'd participate in the




I made this quilt for my Mom about 9 years ago. She loves it so much it makes me like it all the more too. =) My mom has always loved quilts and wanted one. She tried to learn but discovered she had no patience for making them. I helped her pick out the fabrics and then made the top. We sent it out to have a long arm quilter quilt it (I'm so sorry I don't remember her name, she did a beautiful job!) Then I made the binding and stitched it on. Tada!

Talk to Me Tuesday - Getting You Caught Up

Let me get you caught up. I've been making Talk to Me Tuesday videos with an on-line group. They involve all my crafty stuff. Here is the first one I made in September.



And this one is from this past Tuesday.



I'll try to post here more often, especially as I make these.

*Squee* Mail!

A big thanks to "altglas" for being such a dear and sending me fabric to go into the Single Girl quilt I'm working on.


You can see the fabric swatches she sent and I also just loved the card so much I tucked it in there too (its the navy with the bird on it on the left).


Things are coming along slowly in quilt land. I've been spending a lot of time in the garden still. I'm sure once it gets cold and cruddy again I'll go back to quilting more. Hard to motivate myself during the warmer months.
