A FEW FINISHES (AT LAST)!!!

Finally, here's a few finishes!



I finally got around to making this cute little quilt from the pieces of Children at Play I got at the pound sale from my LQS.  I added in some of my 'stash' fabrics (love using that stash) and bought some of the coordinating polka dots for the borders.  The back is also a coordinating print (little boys flying kites)!  I'm so glad I made a quilt from this fabric - I just loved it when it came out! It's listed in my shop!

Next...


This cute little quilt was made with a pattern I bought here!  I did modify the pattern a little as I didn't have a charm pack on hand that I thought would work. The best thing about this quilt...it's made entirely from fabric I had on hand.  I didn't buy anything!  The pattern was great and it came together really quick.  I've used a few of Kate's patterns previously and they're wonderful to work with!  Here's a photo of the back (which I think I love just as much)!



This little quilt is also listed in my shop!

Now, onto some more patchwork!

OOPS!

I didn't realize my last post was almost a month ago!  My sincere apologies to my readers (all three of you)!  Anyway...we finally got down to Portland last week. I managed to visit one (yes, only one) fabric shop, but came away with some gorgeous fabric...



Stewart just had to get in the pictures...



He looks a little drunk in this one!



This picture has nothing to do with quilting.  It just happened to be the largest strawberry I have ever seen - it was delicious, too!  The apple is for reference (sorry about the glare)! I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened the box - it was HUGE!

Here are a few pictures of my current WIPs...


This one is pinned and ready for quilting!


This one is in the lineup for some hand stitching!
