Flower Patch QAL Quilt Top Finished!!

Okay, so I started this project back in June and I was so happy that so many of you joined me with my first Quilt Along. It has been a low key, make at your own pace kind of project, but I have still felt the need to get mine finished. Now I just need to get it quilted! For those of you who are still working on yours, or would like to still make your quilt - please do. I have the PDF version of...

Little projects.

Last week I was able to sneak in 2 little projects. This first project is an applique pattern featured in the book: Applique Outside the Linesby Piece O Cake designs. I love it. Robin pieced and appliqued this wall hanging and I think it is just beautiful.

I quilted a swirl in the borders and a swirl/circle design in the background fabric. I quilted around the applique to make it stand out....

Winner

My last post was therapeutic to say the least. I loved everything that was said and all of you gave me such great advice that I have been inspired to keep this happiness up. Thank you, Thank you! I appreciate you all so much. The plan for me is to really limit instagram time, and go back to keeping up on blogs. I was happier then and it was not always checking my phone to see the blogs update, I...

Content vs Covet - oh and a giveaway!

***update*** giveaway closed.

Okay, so this is my bed before. I wanted to share this with you because I love it. My mom made this quilt and the pillows for me and I have loved them for two years now. But, every now and again a change is in need. I'll explain. I have spent the last couple months stressing over a few things, mostly quilting and designing and all the hopes and dreams that come...

My first show taping, update on my book and some Flower Patch QAL blocks finished!

One week ago today I was sitting in the Handi Quilter warehouse waiting for my turn to be taped for the Quilt It! The Longarm Quilting Show. Well, I was totally nervous. I tried to talk myself out of doing this, but the sweet ladies at HQ were good enough to make me feel at ease and helped me through the process.

When I walked in and saw the set up, I thought - crap, I hope I don't blow this....

Summer.

Summer is always crazy, but it is my favorite time of year. The kids are home and I love it when they are home. I had a crazy July with a couple timeline quilts, so the reunion spent last week with my family was such a reward for the stressful couple of weeks I put me and my family through. The above picture was taken on my brother Jed's birthday. He passed away when he was 3 months old (24 years...

Quilted Memories finished!!

This quilt is a special quilt for my sister's in-laws - they just don't know it yet - it is a surprise for their wedding anniversary coming up this month. This quilt was a combined effort between me and my mom. The pattern is "Quilted Memories" designed by me. However, we decided to make the pictures a little bit larger in this quilt to really show off the family photos. Don't you think my mom...

With summer coming to an end, I am feeling the heat about not getting my quilt finished. All of these amazing over achievers who have finished their projects are making me look bad. ;-) Anyway, I am so happy with the quilts and blocks that have been popping up on my Flickr group, it really is so fun. I want to be piecing right along side you, but I am just...

Torture of all torture!

So, I finished this quilt today. Sadly, I cannot share the whole quilt with you yet, that is why it is torture for me. The quilt is called Fire & Ice and is designed by Kimberly Einmo and you can watch for it in the Quilter's Newsletter Best Modern Quilts! Fingers crossed it makes the cover, that would be fun!! It is always a pleasure to work with Kimberly, she is so talented.

Today I tried...
