Sunday Sneek Peek

I told you I already had my Easter quilt bumping around in my head. Here is a peek at the beginning of it.

I am going to applique' some eggs along the bottom and have one large egg in the corner there. Maybe this week.

I am a quiltmaker

Today the seasonal wall hanging quilt rod went up. It is lovely, and I am already thinking about my Easter quilt.

Yesterday I went to the library. I had the monster in the stroller and was using the folded canopy to hold my book choices. Then today at Lowe's my hubby unfolded the stroller and found a book tucked in the canopy! I apparently am a thief! But I am going to read the book and then take it back. The stolen book is called Around the Quilt Frame and I read a nice quote today.

" I am a quiltmaker, purely and simply put. There is no need to explain that to another quilter.....The astonishing satisfaction that comes from quilting is beyond explanation. "

A New Library Bag!

For me!!!

Made by me! My best effort so far I'd venture to say! I think I will hit up the biblioteca tomorrow

The WIPs are dwindling this Wednesday!!

After finishing my 40s Fruity Filmstrip last night it feels extra awesome to have finished my Luck of the Irish Chain wall hanging tonight.

Its 100% scraps here folks!! Here is a close up of the applique shamrocks. I used Steam a Seam. And I like it!

I am very proud of the quilting. I think it is interesting and exciting. And the backing turned out okay too!! Its great to have something else finished!

40s Fruity Filmstrip

I started this quilt last year. Using crazymomquits' filmstrip tutorial.

I really love how this quilt turned out. It took me awhile to get it quilted but I am so happy with the quilting.

The backing is super cheery and bright.

I ended up using a pink solid as the binding. Perfect!!

Luck of the Irish Chain

I have wanted to have a seasonal wall hanging in my living room for awhile. So I thought I would jump in and make one for St Patty's. I finished the top today and I have to say I LOVE this quilt. Your eyes are not deceiving you, I did actually do some applique!! And I wasn't cursing while I was working on it so I may not declare my applique hatred just yet. Perhaps it was the steam a seam?! I am pretty proud of it though!

I am going to have to piece the backing so I'm thinking I will have this quilt done in the next week or so. Definitely by March 17th :) I'm working from my stash since I am on a fabric fast!

Country Rose

Well at least I have finally finished something!!

This quilt if for my cousin KT. She is stopping by tomorrow on her way out to a new job in Arizona.

I know the pattern is simple and the quilting is simple, but I really think its pretty.

I am glad I was able to finish it in less than a week. And I am glad I finally finished my first quilt of the year!

It has been very nice the past couple of days, Anna our canine loves laying in the morning sun. She doesn't know we might get some snow on Sunday. Hehe
