My Beach House Quilt

I like the colors of this line and the fabric's are just

so cute!

I think the fish design is my favorite

and the lobsters are cute too

shells

and waves

and I had some left over crab fabric that I though

looked perfect for this quilt

 

Its an oversized queen (100 wide)

and I think it looks perfect on the bed.

I love patchwork quilts and straight line quilting!

Pillows

My two sisters both have birthdays in November and just three days apart. This year I saw this  cute embroidery design and decided to make them both a pillow.

this is the first time I have made piping and probably

will be the last haha!

well it was pretty easy to make -- but apply to a pillow ? not so much.

 

 

 

this one is a little more on the simple side

but I think it is my favorite

I had fun making both of them and they were

really easy to put together

now to find some goodies to go along with them

 

I hope you are having a fun day doing the things you like!

Quilts from Last Summer

Here are some pictures of the grandkids making their quilts last summer. We were in such a hurry
that I didn't get a picture of their final quilt so I snapped a picture when I took the AH quilt over.

 

Here is Mara long arm quilting her finished top

 

 

this is her first quilt that she has made 

 

 

she wanted to make a Paris quilt

and she did so well with this one!!

I think it is beautiful!

 

 

 

 

and this is Madison with her wonder woman quilt

this is the second quilt she has made

 

It turned out beautifully too!!

 

 

I had a fun time with the two girls and look forward to

more sewing time with them!!

I hope you are having a fun weekend!

Audery Hephburn Quilt

Sewing with my grand-daughter is so much fun!!

 

every year she comes over to make a quilt and this year

she wanted to make a new one for her bed

 

 

she likes Audrey Hepburn

and we were lucky enough to find her in fabric

 

 

she is going to use black sheets with white polka dots

 

 

and here she is with her finished quilt

(I think both of them are so cute)

 

 

Another Finish

Here is another quilt that was long overdue to be finished

I am really happy with the way this one turned out

 

I am pretty sure I used a layer cake to make this quilt

but am not sure of the name of the fabric line

 

 

 

my new favorite quilting design is straight lines

I just love the look and texture it gives to a quilt

 

I am having so much fun getting these tops quilted.

 

I hope you have a wonderful day!!

Quarter Triangle Quilt

This is another top that has been finished for awhile.

 

I quilted it with a simple panto in green thread to add some more color

 

 

 

 

 

 

and I used a hot pink/purple thread on the back to

make the quilting pattern show

(not sure I did the right thing)

 

 

 

Yea!! Another one finished.

I have about 4 more throw size and

two queen size to go

and am saving my very favorite for last

 

I hope you are having a fun weekend doing the things you like

Utopi Quilt

I love this Utopi fabric from Art Gallery and love the simple strip quilt I made with it

 

The colors are so bright and cheerful and the prints are so cute

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wanted to make it a little wider so

 I just did two side borders

I like this look

 

 

and I just did straight line quilting

I love the way the straight lines look

 

I seem to be getting so much done lately

Some of these quilt tops have been finished

way too long

 

I hope you are having a fun day doing the things you enjoy doing

Minions Quilt

My grandson is crazy for Minions so I had to make him a quilt.

 

I bought the panel and thought I would do a simple border around it

with one of the fabrics in the minion line

but I happened upon this free pattern

and decided to make it.

 

 

the back is done in this cute minion print.

 

We have 8 grandchildren 3 boys 5 girls

ages 18 months - 17 years old.

When we have them over for the night we divide them

into two nights - girl's night, and boy's night.

Last time they stayed we had two days of going to see

the Minions at the Movie Theater.....

although I prefer characters that can talk, it wasn't

as bad as I thought it would be.

Everyone had a good time!

 

I hope you are having a good day!

Quarter Circle Quilt

I saw this quilt in a magazine and fell in love with it. I pulled out my computer right away and got started ordering the fabric.

 

I think my favorite thing is this bicycle fabric

 

It was very easy to make, you just applique circles onto a square

then you cut the square down the center horizontally and vertically and

then mix them up and sew 4 different ones back together.

Now all that is left to do is to sew a corner triangle onto each

corner of the block and sew the blocks together to make a quilt.

 

 

 

I used a solid grey fabric for the binding and the quilt back

 

 

 

and now I am ready to snuggle up in it!!

 

I hope you are having a fun week doing the things you enjoy

arrow quilt

My daughter wanted to make a baby quilt for a friend so I designed this quilt in EQ. Then it turned out she wanted to make a rag quilt.  Every time I went into EQ and saw this quilt pattern I wanted to make it.

 

so I did

 

I didn't have anyone to give it to so I gave it to

my daughter (she just opened a shop on Etsy)

and told her she could have it for her shop.

It looks just like I thought it would

 

I used my Sashiko to make some cute faux hand stitching

She has some really cute rag quilts for sale too.

I hope you are having some fun too!!
