And Now I Wait

I dropped my Ghastlie quilt off to be quilted. So Excited!

The Ghastlie Quilt

I've got the top and bottom done, now I just have to take it in to be quilted. I love the design of this fabric!

I'm so excited to get started on this quilt!

Another Objects Of Desire Quilt

I made this baby quilt today with a jelly roll and backing fabric using the quilt-as-you-sew method. The fabric is Objects of Desire (same fabric I used for Tracey's quilt) by Moda. Janice B.'s daughter, Jennifer, just had a baby girl so I'm going to give this one to her.

Halloween Crazy Quilt

I've been working on this for probably three years. Each square has sequins, embroidery, or some fancy lace. Eventually I hope to put all the squares together to make a table runner.

Laurel Burch Secret Jungle Quilt

I love Laurel Burch fabric! I also love my quilt hanger for holding up a piece of flannel so I can arrange the squares on it. It makes it so much easier than crawling around on the floor. This quilt is almost done--just need to finish the back, get it quilted and then bind it. It's pretty wild and bright, but it makes me smile when I look at the prints.

Puckered Pampered Pooch

I decided to try out the Texture Magic I had bought about a month ago, so I gathered together my Moda Pampered Pooch yardage, charm pack, ruler, marker and of course, the Texture Magic. I cut a square of the fabric and TM that was larger than the actually size I needed. I drew lines on the back of the TM, pinned it to my fabric square, and then straight stitched in back and forth. Placing the fabric TM side up, I steamed the entire square without letting the iron touch the fabric.
The end result was a puckered piece of fabric the same size as a square in my charm pack. Now I just have to figure out what to do with my little squares. Hmmm....

Silky Quilt

Way back in the olden days, I used to draw designs on tricot fabric and then hand quilt them. I loved doing it with my friend, Brenda, but eventually it became too hard on my fingers. I think this is the only one I ever took a picture of.

Donated Quilt

This is a quilt I made to donate to a church project for children with cancer. It is a twin-sized, quilt-as-you-go pattern, and I used fabric from Linda's stash.

Objects Of Desire by Moda

I finished this quilt last weekend by binding the edges. Quilted works did the machine quilting on it, making it so much easier for me. Actually, it was really easy because Linda picked it up for me. Thanks, Linda! I thought I'd give it to Andrea, but she thinks it looks like Tracey. I have to agree that the colors are so Tracey--bright and cheerful. Not that Andrea isn't bright and cheerful, but she'd rather have a little more earth tone colors. When I was sewing the quilt, I thought it seemed a little more like Tracey, but the high-heels were definitely Andrea.

This is the back with a little pocket type label, so I can add the date and the fact that I sewed this quilt. I learned this label method from the store in Hurricane. I love it and I love how the quilt turned out!

Sleepytime by Moda

I love this fabric and the quilt-as-you-sew method made it so easy. I started it on Saturday and finished it today, binding and all. My seam roller made it go even faster since I didn't have to get up to iron down each seam. This was a such a fun quilt to make!

Note: I ended up donating this to an online auction for Emily Jones, who's husband died in the Nutty Putty Caves.
