Another Mustache Quilt

 Cute little polka-dot mustaches

 

and isn't this mustache fabric just sooo cute?!!

Already washed and crinkly - just the way

we like our quilts.

 

 

 

 

the border

 

and the backing fabric

 

and a lamp that will go in the room.

I'm helping my daughter fix up my sweet little granddaughters room.

She's going from the little girl to young teen look.

I'll take some picture of the room after we finish and

let you see how it looks.

A Finish and a Start

I have been having fun sewing at the beach again. I have finished a quilt top . . . .

 

and am trying to start another one

 

 

He is just too funny. I can't tell you how many times I've

had to pick him up off of my projects.

 

I guess it's a good thing that at home my sewing space is separate

from our home .

I don't think I'd like this little guy jumping up on my quilt

while I am trying to longarm quilt it.

He always has to be all up in my business - lol

Cute Little Birdie

A nice cheerful quilt

aren't these birds just so cute!!

 

the back

now how did I miss that long thread?

 

I don't know what I like the most - buying the fabric - putting

the quilt top together - or quilting it on the longarm.

It's all so much fun!

One for my Sister

This was a fun one to make.

It is for my sister. I hope she likes it.

 

I wanted to take a close up of the stitching before washing

it, but someone else had other plans. As soon as I laid it

down he had to come try it out.

 

I used white thread on top and red in the bobbin. It worked

out pretty good. I did see a little of the red on top in places

through the needle holes

but after I washed it and the thread snuggled in

all was fine. (this is a picture before washing)

and this is the back.

Now to get it boxed up and in the mail.

 

I am finishing up another one so pictures to come soon!

Mustache Quilt

My granddaughter asked me to make her a mustache quilt. Then about a week later she asked me if I had made her quilt yet (haha!) and when I told her no, she asked me if I would please add some cartoon baby llama's to the quilt. I told her I wasn't sure if I would be able to find fabric with Llama's and if I did I didn't know how well the two things would go together in the same quilt.

So I started looking for some mustache fabric and

couldn't find any. I looked for Llama fabric and couldn't

find any.

So I played with EQ and came up with this pattern and

she told me it was okay if I couldn't find the llama's.

Then about a week later I did another search for the Llama's

and got lucky

and found this

I decided to make the front mustaches and the back llama's

and I put the backing fabric on upside down so when she turns her quilt down

on her bed it looks like this

 

Now my grandson has asked for a Zombie quilt.

(I can't find zombie fabric)

Do these sweet children think I print up my own fabric

before I make the quilt. (giggle)

A Finish

Just finished this one for me

I usually use warm and white batting but gave

Hobbs 80/20 a try with this one

I liked quilting with it.

The true test will be when I snuggle up with the quilt though

a simple quilt but I like the featured fabric so much I am glad

I didn't cut it into smaller pieces

It really does look so much better in person

and here is a shot of the back

Sorry for the bad pictures

They were taken at night and I don't think I had the quilt

hanging straight either.

I made each one a little different

a close up

Quilt 2

Quilt 3
