2008! One last quilt and a wrap up.

Last night I finished up the breast cancer charity quilt.  Shannon contacted me a while back about making a quilt to donate to help them raise money for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer and I jumped at the chance.  She even sent me pink ribbon fabric which I was thrilled to include in the [...]

A finished mini quilt!

I wanted to get those two quilts finished before 2009, but binding is a drag for me. Instead I had some fun!! I made the mini quilt that Katie won in my giveaway! Here it is: And the back: I hope you like it Katie! I’ll be putting it in the mail to you in [...]

A couple of Christmas gifts

Made these pillows for my sister – I’m thinking there are going to be loads of pillows in my future… And the table runner & place mats for my mother in law. They were incredibly tough for me to get through as the fabrics aren’t my taste, but if you saw her dark green &  [...]

Happy happy holidays!

Just a quick post to say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you and yours!! Hope that you all have a wonderful time and enjoy all that this season means.  Family, friends, food, and good times! I’ve been sewing like crazy and will show you some gifts after tomorrow, but for the time [...]

Land & Sea Quilt pattern

Amanda Jean made a version of the Land & Sea Quilt I made and also was nice enough to post the pattern! And let me know if you make it!  I’d love to see the results!

Grrraaarrg.

Clearly I haven’t been able to motivate on making my mother in law’s table runner and place mats. Cute girly monsters for some friends’ daughters instead!

Gifts complete!

It’s HARD to make presents for people with different tastes from your own. At least I think it is! Two table runners (for my grandmother-in-law and stepmother-in-law) down: And one more (for my mother-in-law), with a matching set of place mats, to go. I had to interrupt and make a couple of blocks that are [...]

Thank Yous All Around

My mailbox has been making me oh so happy this week. It’s like Christmas has come a bit early here at my place!  I have recently won a couple of giveaways and just generally experienced the generosity of this crafting bloggy world.  You are all so nice and so giving!! I’ll start with a beautiful [...]

A winner!

Thank you all so so much for all of your fun and kind comments for the give away. I got a total of 102 entries (yay!) and it was so nice to have a lot of people delurk (or would it be unlurk??) and say hello! Anyhow, getting down to business! The random number generator [...]
