RSC March

The Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for March was Teal/Aqua so I

dug down deep and came up with a pile of scraps in those 

lovely colors and heres my 10 6" string blocks.

Very soon we find out what color it will be for April....Yippee!

A "Push" present?

I'd never heard of a "Push present" before a gal at work asked me to make her a

baby quilt as a "push present" for her friend who was expecting.  I guess

normally it would be a gift from the babys father when the mom

goes into labor, not this time, it was from the labor coach!

              So, I whipped up this super quick ladybug quilt, just big strips left to right

and then straight line quilted it..it turned out perfect, they love it!

YAY!

QBSA Paper Pieced swap February

My partner for February in the QBSA Paper Piecing Swap

was Michell from  New Zealand!

I chose this block for my partners to make for me...its called
"Lonestar", I asked for scrappy with a Dark Blue background...

she did great dont you think?

I was feeling a little Scrappy....

Do you have those days where you just dont know 

what you want to work on? 

You have so many projects going but cant 

decide what is spiking your interest that day?

Thats been happening to me alot lately...sooooo,

I started poking around my basket of orphan blocks and made

this super cute mini doll quilt which is now hanging on my

sewing room wall...I love it, its so bright and fun!

Quilt for my new Grandson!

My son and his wife are expecting their second child in April.

Since my son is a baseball fanatic, of course the

theme for this new little guy is Baseball!

Heres a close up shot showing the Baseball fabric 

and my straight line quilting. I added a solid Kona red

and a beautiful rich leather colored brown for contrast.

I am really pleased with how it turned out.  I started it on Friday and 

finished it on Saturday, then gifted it on Sunday...and they loved it! Whew!
