Really Cool Blog ....

I was cruising around the web this evening and ran across this really, really cool blog at http://freebiesforcrafters.blogspot.com/.  In it I found reference to the Sunday Squares pattern provided at Moda Bake Shop Charlie a.k.a Qubie of Qubee Quilts who blogs at It's Just Me. Well, I actually made this pattern as I fell in love with it too.  Here is a picture of my "unquilted" wall hanging and I hope to get it quilted real soon.  Thanks for looking!

Thank you for stopping by, and don't forget to check out http://freebiesforcrafters.blogspot.com/. 

Quilt-tastic day to you!!

Asked about access to the tutorials I mentioned in an earlier post, I thought I would provide a link to them for easier access. Thank you to all the great teachers on QNN TV!

Midnight oil ... burned.

I finished my last gift for my niece's birthday this year.  Well, the older one any way :)  Here it is:

Notice the bitsy heart I quilted in center square? :)

Front side....

Inside ....

I tried to find a pattern for the books sized 6" x 8" that my niece reads, but failed.  So, I took a piece of this, that, and other patterns and this is what I developed. I stuck with my scrap bin for this project too, as I have with the other items I've made the last couple of days.  All of these materials were left-overs from other gifts, so I know they'll be a hit with the girls.  If not, they don't live in the same town as I do and I'll never know :) hahahaha ...

Well, that's it for this evening.  I think I'm starting to get rummy and I don't want to be held accountable for anything I may or may not write here in the morning.  I'm scooting off to bed.  God bless!  Take care, and as always "have a quilt-tastic day!"

Bagged another project ...

I did it!  Of course it has nothing to do with the fact that the DH went to work today instead of staying home to work on the studio (HAHAHAHA don't anyone tell on me :) ... ), but I got another project done.  YIPPIE!  I made two cell phone bags for my nieces to send to the birthday girl and her sister. 

Aren't these too cute!  I found them at Moda Bake Shop by Chef Nicole.  Thanks Nicole for the recipe!  This material is, of course, Moda and called Oh My Dog by Lori Gardner.  These are actually scraps left over from totes I made my daughters so I pieced together what I could to make them the adorable little baggies they are ... lol!  You probably can't tell by looking at these pictures, but they measure 4" x 6".

Well, I think this will be it for the birthday gifts, except maybe a book-cover for my neice's reading books.  What 15 year old wants everyone knowing what she's reading over the summer?!?!?  So ... maybe before DH gets home ..... :) :) :) I'm off to the Moda Bake Shop again.

Quilt-tastic day all!

Progress

Hello all!  Today progress was made .... the first wall was built for our new shop/studio. Yea! Now if only the rain would hold off for the remainder of the week (yeah, right!) then we could get more constructed.  Oh well, progress is one wall more than yesterday.

I also realized that the birthday presents I had on the back burner to get made, needed to get made ... now.  I've got to mail them on Friday.  It's my neice's 15th birthday and I always try to make her a little something and this time I want to include one for her 13 yr old sister.  Well, today, I made progress and made these little snap bags. 

The fabric is what they picked out for the gifts I made them at Christmas, so I know they'll approve.  The pattern is the Snap Happy pattern by Stitchin' Sisters.  Easy-peasy!!  I had both made within an hour.  Pretty sweet.

Well, it is now getting close to 1 a.m. here so I best be getting to bed since my youngest will probably be up by 6 a.m. 

Blessings to each of you and thank you for stopping by.
