10 minute table runner!

My friend, Pat, showed me how to make a table runner....so I couldn't resist making a few for Christmas presents.

Baby It's Cold Outside!

 Our fire...

 

Sadie is enjoying the fire too!  

I took a free motion quilting class at Quilts Like Crazy this morning.  Look at what I learned!  I can't wait to try it out on a quilt!

 

Christmas presents.....

I made this for Wanda at work....

I also made a bowl for Linda...

 

She came by tonight and gave me this big bag!  It's to carry big quilts.  So cute!  I love the chickens!

Pictures of the other things I made will be online after Christmas!  :)

A little bit of everything...

 

 I got a new camera!  I made the strap to go on it!

 Coasters I made for Janine, my boss.  We're putting a basket together for her!

 The beautiful tulips I got from my Girls on the Run!

Our Christmas tree....and Sadie.  

 It's Christmas time!  I have all my Santas out and ready.  This is the first one I got.  

 I gave Julio a pizza stone for his birthday.  This is our favorite pizza- pesto, artichokes, olives, sun dried tomatoes, feta cheese, and a little mozzarella.  Yummy!

 

I found this recipe in my Classic Home Cooking cook book.   Usually all the recipes from there are great, but this one wasn't that good.  It's a pizza with tomatoes, tuna, capers, mozzarella, oregano, and a little olive oil. 

NC State Fair

These are my two entries for the NC State Fair.  Wish me luck...

Quilt Tags

I bought some quilt tags at Etsy.com! 

Learning to Crochet

 

I'm learning how to crochet.  It's a lot better than knitting.  

Here is my first project... a scarf! 

A Buggy Baby Blanket

 

A friend from Julio's lab is having a baby.  I went to a baby shower yesterday and this is the blanket I made for them!

Project Linus!

I finished my Project Linus blankets!

Summer Plans!

Linda gave me a bunch of fabric to make some quilts for Project Linus.  I haven't had as much time as I've wanted to sew, but I will have a lot of time this summer to finish the nine blankets I got the material for!

 

 I did get to finish one!  It is a rag quilt.  I'm making three others just like it.  I love this quilt because it's cute and so easy to make!

 This is a quilt my mom started over 30 years ago.  This summer I plan to quilt it and put binding on it!  I started this past weekend with two of the block.

 

Another thing I'm working on this year is a block of the month from my favorite quilt store, Bernina.  Each month we get material and directions to make another block.  

 I bought this fabric a while ago, but haven't worked on this project in a while.  This one you won't see until I enter it into the North Carolina State Fair in October! 

 My quilting group is doing challenges again!  Hurray!  This time we're going to do a summer themed project.  I want to do a beach scene.  I have some beach things to paper piece and applique!  We'll see how this turns out. 

Mom's Birthday Present

Apron and Yoga Bag

This is an rag apron I made from flannel. 

This is the new yoga bag I made! 

3D Blocks Wall Hanging

This is the 3D blocks wall hanging I just finished!  It's from the same book at the box below!

3D Blocks

Here is the first project from my 3D Blocks book!  But what to put in there...

 

Hey Mama!

Julie is expecting her first child!  Thus, I have spent the past few months working on a baby quilt for her.   After searching for the perfect inspiration, I decided on a bird quilt.

Look at the cute baby bump of the beautiful mama!

The bed is ready.  We're just waiting on the baby!

Stay Tuned!

Here is a beautiful quilt I saw at a quilt show a few months ago...


I got the book for Christmas as well as another quilting book. I hope to try them out soon!


Stay tuned....I will finally be able to post all the Christmas gifts I made.
