A Boy's Story Cont.

I have finished the top to the Boys Story Quilt (pattern by Anni Downs of Hatched and Patched). I am getting ready to quilt it now. My son is very excited. I added borders to the quilt to make it bed size. It now finishes 66 x 80. Here are some of the squares. Hopefully I'll have the quilted finish for you soon.

T-Shirt finish

This quilt was done in rememberance of a young man who lost his life to testicular cancer 2 years ago. If you have a young man in your life. Please educate him and yourself about this.

Christmas Time

And this is one busy elf. I've finished a Rosalie Quinlan small quilt

New Mystery quilt-a-long!

Quiltville has a new mystery quilt-a-long! I am so excited. I've done several with Bonnie and am always happy with the outcome. They are among my favorite quilts. Her designs are amazing and it's so kind of her to share them as freebies with us. To learn more click on Quiltville above. Here are the colors I've picked out for mine. I'm going with the same color theme as Bonnie, double pinks, green and chocolates. You don't see a lot of my backgrounds here because I have them folded together but they are diverse; lots of shirtings, mostly from Little Quilts. I will wait and pick out my border colors later.

More T-shirt finishes

I've finished more t-shirt quilts for a customer and friend. This time of year is usually busy for t-shirt and/or memory quilts. They make great Christmas gifts.

This one was for her daughter and I stitched her daughters first ballet outfit on the quilt (size 24 months). How cute is this?

New Bedroom = New Quilt

We had to get new furniture for our daughter (she outgrew her toddler bed) so that meant a new quilt and matching throw pillow. I chose the Marmalade pattern by Thimble Blossoms along with the Bliss line from Moda (also by Thimble Blossoms) because it was so girly and fresh and modern looking. It's a wonderful match with the new furniture. Looks like we need some shams now.

Pure Sweetness

I made two dresses out of Sweetwater's new line, Pure. I am working on my third dress out of this fabric. I love this fabric line and have other plans for it. This is an easy pattern from a Japanese pattern book I bought from Etsy. I serge my edges using a zigzag stitch on my machine.

And look, a sleeve!

Here is the top back. So easy but so pretty. . A gathered waistline with elastic cuffs.

This is the blouse I made from Heather Bailey's line, Far Far Away. It's a lovely linen/cotton blend so it's a bit heavier for the cooler weather. I used shell buttons by Moda for the back.
