Poodles?!!!

Honestly, I dont know why I think these poodles are so flipping cute but I do!

Sally over at www.objectsofdesign.blogspot.com 

created this cute poodle block and posted

a free tutorial on her blog....I couldnt stop thinking about how cute this was and could I do it without too much cussing??  Well, I am happy to report that I 

got it finished, its got a few errors but hey, it looks like a Poodle right and isnt that the point???

Wink Wink!!  Poodle #2 is already cut out....Hee Hee Hee!!

Go check it out...she has a Left facing Poodle tutorial too!

So proud of this finish!

Its done!  Yay! 

 Some of you all remember a while back in February, my girlfriend Julie and I took a quilting class to learn how to use the "Quick Curve Ruler".  The pattern we did was 

called "Urban Candy". We had a blast taking the class together!

Julie made a quilt for her daughter all in purples...it turned out pretty darn good, this picture will give you an idea of her colors, I cant seem to loaate a picture of the finished quilt!

I did mine in these gorgeous Limes, Blues and Purples for a coworker...

I got it all layed out and pieced finally with some moral support from Julie, some days I dont know what I would do if she wasnt here to sew with me!  

Then I got it on the longarm!  I quilted it with my free motion loopy loops, Woot Woot!

Heres the finished quilt....I LOVE IT and so does the recipient!!! The colors are so rich, its just gorgeous!

Beautiful!!!

Jillian, the recipient said she can't wait to wrap herself up in it!  I'm so glad that she loves it as much as I do!

So, just a question for you all.....is it me or does it seem like the bigger a pain in the butt a pattern is, the more you like the quilt when it is done? This always happens to me.....does it happen you to also??? 

Amador County Fair 2016

I decided to enter the Amador County Fair this year.  It is in the next county over

from us.  Its a darling little country fair, lots of fresh flowers and animals.  I decided to enter

my Grandaugher Kamryns Rainbow quilt and my English Toffee.  I took the day off of

work and watched the judging for all of the baked goods and candies.  It was very educational, the judge was the cutest 94 year old woman.  She tasted every last thing, and no shocker here, she loved my toffee!!!  I got first place and best of Division!

 Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! Yea baby!

I also got a second place ribbon for Kamryns Rainbow quilt! That's my little sweetheart

Kamryn in the picture with me.  I can't tell you how shocked and happy

I am to receive a ribbon for one of my quilts, I only quilt for fun!!

So fun!  I will definitely enter again next year!!

A Finish!

 

 

I just finished up this Lime green/blue scrappy trip quilt for a coworkers

new baby boy!  I backed it with blue flannel to make it extra

cuddly. then I quilted it with my "go to" loopy loops" and

its extra snuggly just like the new baby whose name is Bodhi!!

 

 

Its been gifted and well recieved....happy happy happy!!
