Spoiler Alert!

I was able to complete the baby quilt for my husband's co-worker and his wife this morning. Their due date is next week and my husband is on vacation next week so I wanted to finish this so he can deliver it this week. Thank-you to my son for holding the quilt while I took the picture. While quilting this the thread kept breaking so I took a break from it for a day or two and made these mug rugs as Christmas gifts for my sisters and my mom. I made them from the scraps of my late brothers shirts left over from making this rag quilt as a memorial to my brother. I plan on getting mugs and maybe some coffee to include with these.

A Finish!

I put the last stitches in the binding of this lovely little baby quilt about 5 o'clock this morning. My youngest was up most of the night again last night so I took advantage of being awake and finished the quilt. It turned out rather well.

Friday Nite Sew-In Results

For the Friday Nite Sew-In I worked on the baby quilt that I started a few weeks ago. I finally got the machine to work properly so I was able to finish the quilting.

Then I put the binding on it.

Then I pinned the binding to the back side and started hand stitching it down.

Fabric Explosion!

I was asked to make two twin size quilts by my niece for my great nieces. She would like them for Christmas gifts. My great nieces are 9 and 7. I thought I Spy quilts would be a good idea so I went through my stash and did a little shopping and these are the fabrics I thought I would use. If I counted correctly there are forty different fabrics spread out here. Now is to decide on a pattern.

I also got the baby quilt I have been working on set up for quilting. I bought this frame awhile ago but haven't used it as much as I should. My problem is the thread keeps breaking and it gets rather frustrating. I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong. Any suggestions anyone??

A Flimsy Finish

I have been working on this baby quilt for a little while now and I was able to get the top together yesterday. I saw a tutorial by Eleanor Burns on this pattern and I wanted to try it. I think it turned out well. Next step is to layer and machine quilt it. I am hopeing to get it done soon.
