Never before blogged

These are 2 quilts I made before I started blogging.

Playground Giggles

Bright and happy eh?

Summer Snowballs

Just wanted to share. And mention that I will NEVER make a king sized quilt again! But the one I currently have on my to do list has been basted (finally)

still seeing RED

Just coming up to the surface to say I'll be drowning in the red scraps a bit longer.

Other excuses near the top....

I'm waiting for my table insert to quilt my king.

I'm too whooped after the monster goes to bed to pin baste.

basically, I have no motivation to finish or begin anything.

Scrap Box Chronicles

I've had enough of this scrap!

I've decided to embark on a scrap busting effort.

Today I started with my brimming black/brown/gray bin. The basket on the left is trash. The bin on the right has pieces worthy of a ticker tape, small bits.

I decided I definitely want to shoot for a scrappy strings quilt. I cut strips 2.5 wide and 1.5 wide. I'm not sure yet if I will mix them or plan 2 separate projects.

These are the 3x3 squares I got out of the bin.

I put just a few hunks of fabric back in.

This bin is next. Wish me luck!

Fun in the Mail, Love on the Cup,and Smile on the Spoon.

The winner of the Ticker Tape quilt, a friend from high school, quilter, who also resides west of the Mississippi, sent a fun note to me, and a WALLET!! She is a loyal reader, and apparently makes oodles and oodles of these awesome wallets! I was unaware, since she doesn't keep a quilt blog. ahem!

I was totally shrieking when I opened it! (the hubs came into the room to see why I was having a stroke.)

I love it Julie! THANK YOU!

I put my things in it, and it is totally perfect!

Look at me with a 20 spot!(its payday, no doubt it will be gone before the week is over)

Genius! It made my week!(probably my month)

Also in the mail, my 2010 quilt mug! Once, Piefixesanything commented about my collection of snapfish mugs with peoples' photos on them. So, I kept my 2009 quilt mug a secret since it seems weird to make a mug of your favorite quilts. But, I cannot help it, using it makes me happy,and I am totally geeked to have the new one!

2010 on the left, 2009 on the right.

2010s debut. I was grinning ear to ear this morning.

And this makes me smile. Doesn't it make you smile?

I'm so happy its mine and I get to stir things with it.

knockoff

Last week I saw this quilt on a blog I follow. It made me incredibly jealous. Bad. But then I remembered this set of fabrics I bought last fall at Joann. So I made a knockoff. I couldn't get a decent picture but,oh well. I'll get one once its finished.

The original was names "sea glass'

The knockoff is named" see bass"

Sew and Tell--Spring Baby Quilt

This is the baby quilt I made for a baby girl due this spring. My husband's cousin is the new mama expecting her first.

I love these bright fabrics, and the apple print is adorable.

I made her two matching burp clothes.

This makes my uterus swoon with hopes to have a girl one day.

Aren't you so happy Sew and Tell is back?! Go check out all of the awesome finishes.

Something New

Because I just need to close the binding on the baby quilt.

And because I'm putting off basting and quilting the king.
