YEAH! I finished something!

I bought 2 of the fabrics in April of this year for a pillow case. They were washed and while I was procrastinating getting it made I found the fabric for the cuff. I finally got it made today. I laid it out on our grandsons bed and picked up my camera. When I looked at the screen this is what I saw! Jake is quick! Jake's master is at summer camp. Jake misses him.


The pillow case turned out really cute!

Design Wall Monday-July

This is the current project on my design wall. It's a UFO and it may be twin sized when I get it finished. I'm making it from my 3 1/2" strip boxes!

Design Wall Monday-July 1 day late!

This past week all the designing has been on EQ! I got hooked on this block thanks to Elizabeth. I modified the block and I've been playing with it. This is the 1st design that I have come up with. I have no idea what fabrics I would use or if I'll make it at this point. I'm just having fun playing with the blocks.

Design Wall Monday-July 2 days late!

I'm sorry about the delay. I had these blocks up Monday but, I got the picture today. These are some old blocks that I got from my mom while on vacation this year. They look like sample blocks that were made to try a pattern out. I'm planning to make a quilt with them. I don't have all of them on the design wall. I've decided to make a sampler with the blocks. I need to make a decision about some of the fabrics in the blocks. A few of the fabrics have age spots and a few are very thin. I need opinions about this. Should I replace the fabrics or not?

Design Wall Monday-June

Better late than never! This is the design wall area above my sewing machine in the sewing room. The art in the top right hand corner was a gift from our grandson. The blocks are some blocks I made that were inspired by blocks made by Tammy Simpson. Someday I hope to have enough blocks for a large bed size quilt.

Design Wall Monday-June

This is our grandsons UFO. The top is finished with some help from me. I hope to get it quilted soon! It's simple, cute and close to being finished!

This is one of my current projects. I got it bound tonight. It's really cute and I really hate to give it away. This is a blurry detail shot.
