Another mini quilt design

Yea!  A day off.  I am going to sew with my sister today.

This is another mini quilt I designed on EQ6 last night - even imported the fabrics choices for this one.  I purchased them a few years ago at a quilt show.  This will be my project for today.

MINI STAR QUILT - is 12" square; the star blocks are 3" each and the borders are 1.5".  There are nine different green fabrics in all.  I will have lots of fun making this...off to the Cutting Mat to start this mini!

I will post my progress tomorrow or Sunday.

Happy Sewing!

A Prim Pumpkin...

It's already Thursday and I haven't done a whole lot of sewing this week.  :( SAD!

Tomorrow is a day off and I hope spend most of the day at the sewing table!

I did create a fun little Prim Pumpkin Pattern on EQ6...

                                  

Just might have to sew him into reality!  I don't have too many browns and orange scraps so I will have to get creative...or maybe just buy some.

There are a lot of Halloween projects in my TO DO pile...oh well...here comes another!  HAHA!

Have a fun day sewing!

A crazy morning and a quilt top...

Sunday is almost over and I am glad.  I usually post on Sunday mornings but things didn't go so well this morning.  Around 4:30am I was startled by a loud boom.  Jumped out of bed, heard people screaming to call the fire dept, and police.

It seems a very large tree fell two doors down from my house and crushed 2 parked cars and hit a house and yes there was fire but thankfully no one was hurt.  Of course it took down the power lines with it!  So, no electric, no blogging, and worse of all no sewing and it was HOT...HOT...HOT!

I was up until 1:00am sewing a cute little backpack for my great nephew's first birthday which was today.  My intention was to get up early (but not at 4:30am) and make a matching crayon roll...never happened.  I also forgot to take a photo of the backpack.

Electricity came back around 7pm and all is well!

My friend Sheryl posted a photo of her glorious Shadow Box Quilt and so I thought I had better post mine.  The class was great and all the ladies had such wonderful fabrics.

This is going to be a gift for a special person!

The border is a very dark green/black print.  I had a lot of fun making this and Alice is a great teacher.

You can see Sheryl's quilt on her blog; http://downtoearthliving.blogspot.com//

Happy Stitching!

The Friendship Star Quilt

This quilt top is from a class I taught at the store.  The Friendship Star Quilt.

I have to decide if I want to add another border to make it the size for a queen bed and what type of border???  Maybe a checker board or piano key will work.

The fabric is an assortment of Thimbleberries.

In addition, how ever will I quilt this one???

Even more on the tumbler...IT'S FINISHED

I decided to stay up last night and finish the binding on the tumbler.

So...it is completed!

It might just end up as a table topper.

It feels really good to finish something.  I have a couple (dozen - haha) more to finish!
