Cherry Table Quilt
I have a fun little table quilt that I have been working on for the last year! One of my girlfriend’s gave me the pattern and we have both been working on them together, it is so fun to have a friend that likes to do what you do! I guess that is why we are best friends! :)
Star Quilts
I am so happy to announce that it is Christmas in May!?
I decided right after Christmas last year that I was going to make these two quilts for gifts for this year. I went out and got the fabric last January and I have slowly been working on them during some of our weekend trips up to our cabin, and they are now finished and I can put them away until Christmas!

Girl Baptism Quilt
One of our granddaughter’s was baptized this last weekend. This was a special day for her. In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints the children are baptized when they are 8 years old.
I have made it a tradition to make a quilt for each of the grandkids for their baptism. It has always been a minky quilt with minky fabric on the front and the back! They are so warm and cuddly! I also have their name and the year and “choose the right” embroidered in one of the corners.
Floral Quilt
I have another quilt post today! :)
Here is the quilt that my daughter made for her daughter. She sewed this quilt top several months ago and we just needed to add the outside borders to make it a little bigger, then I quilted it for her and sewed on the binding, because she said the binding would take her another month to do! She exaggerates!
Easy Chevron Halloween Quilt
Here is one of the quilts that I have been working on this past couple of weeks!
I was a little bit worried about how this quilt would really turn out because I bought some of the fabric at a quilt show that I went to and after getting part way done with sewing the quilt, I realized that I had only gotten 1/2 as much fabric as what I needed! So I went to my fabric stash and got enough to sew about 3/4 of the quilt and then I had to go buy the rest of the fabric! So this is really a mismatched quilt, but I actually like how it turned out!
Stitched Christmas Quilt Blocks (WIP)
I have so many projects going on right now that I am driving myself crazy! I tend to do this every year in the fall, I get the bug to start sewing, crafting, reading, baking, canning and organizing! I just need to pace myself and finish one project before I start the next one! Do any of you do that too, or am I the only crazy one???
I am working on 4 different quilts right now with the patterns and fabric for several more! I bought my quilting machine a few months ago and now I think that I have to use it all the time… it just keeps calling my name…but I love learning how to use it!
This quilt that I am trying to get finished up this week, my WIP (Work in Progress), is from Bird Brain Designs and the name of the pattern is Snowmen & Reindeer Bluework Quilt. I got this pattern last spring when we were in Arizona on our little annual vacation. I am doing it all as a redwork so that it will match my other Christmas quilts that I have already made.
I have been working on these block since last spring and I have all but one of the blocks completely stitched and I am hoping to get the last one done this weekend!
Minky Baptism Quilt
One of our grandson’s was baptized this last weekend. This was a special day for him. In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints the children are baptized when they are 8 years old.
I have made it a tradition to make a quilt for each of the grandkids for their baptism. It has always been a minky quilt with minky fabric on the front and the back! They are so warm and cuddly! I also have their name and the year and “choose the right” embroidered in one of the corners.
Red and Yellow Quilt
Have any of you ever had a project that you worked on so much or for so long and had so many problems with it that you were sick of the project before you ever got done with it? Well that describes this quilt perfectly!
I sewed this quilt top 5-6 years ago in a Relief Society class that we did a block a month. I was learning how to do some of the different quilt blocks, so I can’t say that they were my best work, but I always have loved the colors in this quilt and I finished the whole top and the sashings, but I felt like it needed some borders, but I just never got the fabric, so I just never finished it!
Fast forward 6 years- I got this quilt top out a few weeks ago and found some fabric for the borders and the back. I put it on to quilt and the tension on my quilting machine was way off and it took me several attempts and phone calls before I finally got my machine working right, I was just about ready forget about this quilt, but I finally got it quilted only to find that when I loaded the quilt on the machine, I was 1/2 inch short on one end, after it was all quilted! So I had to trim the outside border all the way around! But after I got the binding on and hung it up to take pictures, I decided that it turned out OK after all! I still love the colors in this quilt, which is it’s redeeming quality!
Thursday’s Thought-Quilters are Not Greedy…
Since I have been doing a lot of quilting lately, I thought that perhaps I should do my Thursday’s thought with quilting in mind and I have this saying written in vinyl for my sewing room, I decided it would be perfect for this week!
This saying just makes me smile! :)
I hope that it will make you smile today too!
