IT'S COMING TOGETHER!

You wouldn't believe how long it took me to get this layed out. I have to say I wasn't really in love with all the fabric in this line but I was determined to use it all (especially since I won it)! And I'm glad I did. I absolutely love it and can't wait to get it finished. I've really enjoyed making this quilt, despite a few bumps along the way. Let's just say me and my seam ripper have become very good friends! Anyway, I can't WAIT to get this finished. I'm planning on a coordinating purple or gray for the back and I'm even going to FMQ this one - Yikes!

SLOW...and not steady!

I FINALLY got started on my circle quilt! I've done all the cutting and spent AGES matching the circles to the squares. Why does this always take me so long? Here's a little peak! I've already got my thread so I'm ready to start sewing the circles.

Here's another sneak peak of something I've been working on. I've had the idea for this quilt in my head for ages. It's a bit of an experiment and I'm not sure how it will turn out. If I like the results this may become my first pattern!

I'M SO EXCITED!!

Remember these...

I won these several months ago in a giveaway. I've been trying to decide for the longest time what quilt to make...well, after careful consideration I've come to a decision. Let's just say it involves circles - eek!!! This one is going to be for me. I wanted to get a last picture of them before they have their bath tonight and the cutting begins! I'll keep you updated on my progress!

NEW PROJECT!

This is what happens when you don't have a real baby to model your projects...

Lissie is such a good sport - she got extra kitty treats after this!

PRODUCTIVITY!!!

On my design "wall." It's pretty bright, but I love it. My scraps are getting out of control.

A few finishes...

Wow, straight line quilting...


Scraps - LOVE it,,,



The binding is not finished on the next two, but I wanted to get their pictures up...

All these quilts are being added to this pile and are destined for the Dunbar Craft Fair (November 27). See you all there!

And last, but not least, Lissie...!

She's Home!!!

I picked her up yesterday morning, and we've been very busy. She's running like a charm (although she always has)!

I have been dying to make a "scrap" quilt, but really didn't think I had enough scraps. Was I wrong! Once I started pulling out fabrics, I realized I actually had tons, and was able to put this together yesterday...

I really like the way this turned out. It was so much fun putting it together. It's nice not to worry about colour placement and just start sewing. I see more of these in my quilting future!

Cutting...

It's all I can do. I bit the bullet and took my machine in for servicing yesterday. I was told ten days, but I'm hoping it's sooner. I miss her already!

This is one of the first pictures I took of Stewart. I think it look's like he's smiling! (What's with the wonky eye?)
