Merry Christmas!

When I was young, my mom used to make these jeweled

Christmas tree portraits.  Recently I saw this one at

a quilt show and it brought back so many memories

of my mom and made me miss her just a little bit

more that usual.  She passed away Christmas Eve, 1999. I 

think that may have been one of the worst days of my life

            

            and since it happened on a holiday, I sort of relive it every year.  Theres             never a moment that I dont miss her.  She taught me so much, needlepoint,               latch hook, cross stitch, sewing, knitting, crochet, cooking, baking, you  

     name it, I have my love of creativity because my mom always had me doing               something with my hands.  I'm so grateful for the gifts she gave me. 

                                             I miss her so much.

                   Merry Christmas to you and your family..hold them tight and 

                                tell them how much you love them everyday!

Postage Stamp LOVE!

I am sure that the postage stamp quilt has to be

one of my favorites!

                                       I have made several and even
                 sold just the quilt tops on Ebay.  They are just so bright
                and fun, who could resist?  They are classic!!

Lovely Jewel Tones

Another finish!  This is a scrap vomit quilt that I 

just finished.  Its amazing that I really gave

no thought to the colors, I was just grabbing as I went

and now when taking a photo..

                  I realized that its very colorful with jewel tones...love it!

                                       Heres the scrappy backing!

A finish!

Yay!  My Japanese X&O quilt is done!

                                        Its scrappy deliciousness!!

Table Runners!

Heres a couple of table runners that I whipped up

for the craft fair....all from my 2 1/2" strip bin.

                      Very easy and quick to do...will make a great gift!

Wonky Dr. Seuss!

I just love the Lorax/Dr. Seuss fabrics...

I found a remnant and some coordinating scraps

from my stash and made this super duper

cute wonky log cabin Dr Seuss 

quilt...I love it, so bright and fun!

                                 
                                         
                                 Heres a close up of the Grinch block

This one is my favorite block...

"Horton hears a who"

What a great book!!

Can you see the quilting? Its the tall hats from Dr. Seuss!

AWESOME!!

15 minutes play...made a flimsy!

Ohhhhh....the process.....

It started with a bowl of fabric crumbs....

                             Which turned into slabs of "Made fabric"

                                Which then morphed into these beautiful
                                          Anvil blocks/Squares

                   Then of course I had assistance laying out the blocks,
                                this is my assistant Calico....Dahlia.

And here is the completed flimsy!  Yippee!

Now to get it quilted!!
