Counting Books

Finished two of the little counting books.  They are just too cute!



Put these books together using green ribbon and trimmed the pages with lime green Madeira Polyneon thread.

Christmas Present

Mom received her Christmas present so I can post pictures now.  The quilt top was done using batik blues and browns with a navy blue batik for the border.


It is a pretty double quilt top that was quilted using Warm and Natural cotton batting and Superior Magnifico navy blue thread. 


It was quilted using a Baptist Fan.  The back is a batik blue leaf print.  The next quilt I do for Mom will have to be a king size.


I love the Magnifico thread, it quilts like a dream. Will definitely be adding to the thread stockpile!

I've Got a Hex On You

Finally finished the binding on the Hexagon quilt, also made a matching pillow case storage bag for it.  Naming it "I've Got a Hex on You", thought it was a cute play on words for the pattern.


I found the pattern for the pillow case on the Quilts of Valor webpage.  It whips up in a jiffy and will make a nice storage bag for the quilt.


The back shows the quilting nicely.  I will be taking it to the Calico Cow Quilt Shop tomorrow to put it up for sale. 


Now I'm working on some embroidered counting books. They are just too cute with the tactile pages.


They are appliquéd with a variety of fabrics that coordinate with the text on the page.


I'll be putting several of these up for sale at the local quilt shop. 


They are a bit time consuming but are just too cute!!

New Quilt Tops

Finally finished piecing the Square-On-A-Square quilt.  It came out quite nicely.  It is another quilt that I will be keeping and using for my bed.


It was pieced with a pattern from Cozy Quilts using two Cherry Bali Pops.  I supplemented the fabric with Cheddar and Wine Hoffman Bali Watercolors.


The next project I designed.  The piecing is done using Christmas fabrics with Dakota Collectibles Playful Snowmen machine embroidered in the center of the stars.


Currently I only have 6 blocks completed but it is coming along nicely.
