Quilt Aid

Have you heard of Quilt Aid? It's a wonderful organization supporting obstetric fistula (you can read more on the site). They have an annual quilt a long where you can purchase the blocks and finishing kits. Natalie of Cinderberry Stitches is hosting a giveaway in their honor.

Sewing Pouch

I whipped this pattern up last night. And I do mean whipped. Excluding the embroidery which took about 30 minutes this sweet little pouch whipped up FAST! It was so easy. Pattern courtesy of Noodleheads. (Thank you, Anna!) I used her pencil pouch and modified the dimensions a bit. I can throw some handsewing pieces in here with a needle, thread, and scissors and carry this in my purse. I also made it to coordinate with my sewing caddy (pictured below). It will go in there for longer trips. The embroidery is from Red Brolly stitched on a wonderful linen/cotton blend sent to me from Elyte.

Antique Quilt finishes

I was commissioned to finish some antique quilt blocks into quilts. She had churn dash and Joseph's Coat blocks made by her great aunt and great grandmother. And here they are:

I also made a sewing basket. Pattern courtesy of Gina Allen. This pattern was not only fun to make but I love my new sewing basket. It holds everything wonderfully.

Lots of pockets for lots of goodies, scissors, pens, needles, thread, etc.

And even more pockets outside. How can you not love this tote?

The Quilt Shoppe is having a giveaway hosted by Jaybird Quilts (click on their name for a link). I don't really want you to go visit because that would decrease my chances of winning and the prize is awesome. ;0)

Blogger's Quilt Festival

And here is the quilt I am featuring. I was never very impressed with embroidery until I saw some of the Australian designers. Then I was sold! Rosalie Quinlan, who designed this quilt is one of my absolute favorites. I love her whimsical fresh style. As soon as I saw this quilt, Little Patchwork Village, I knew I had to do it. I began the houses last year and one thing or another kept getting in my way. I decided this would be the year for UFOs and this is one of my now completed UFOs. I'm so proud it's done and I absolutely love it. It is for my daughter who loves all things pink. I am ashamed to admit she had a store bought quilt (shudder) hanging on her wall. It was bought some time ago before I new how to quilt and I have just never gotten around to replacing it. Well guess what? It's off to Goodwill and this beauty is hanging in it's place. Excuse my lopsided picture. I was burning dinner while shooting it. :0)

Finishes

I have finished a few t-shirt quilts and a reproduction quilt from a former McCall's magazine.

This t-shirt quilt is HUGE! It has 103 shirts in the quilt and finished at 91 x 100. It's big in terms of t-shirt quilts but actually it's a queen size quilt. Very random and very fun.

This is a nine patch I finished recently in reproduction fabrics. The pattern was from a McCall's magazine. I'll have to look up the reference to be sure which one. . .

This a t-shirt picture quilt for another customer

This t-shirt quilt was created for Strides of March/Chattanooga Cares which is an organization raising money for AIDS research.
