DISAPPEARING NINE PATCH FINISHED!!!

This is the six inch nine patch turned into the disappearing nine patch. I just love this one. I stippled it in pink, was going to do black but I didn't want it to be too dark. This one is sitting on the back of my couch as we speak!!!

Be looking for a quilt giveaway soon.....

I had someone ask me what I do with all of my quilt.....I mostly give them away, sell some but mostly give. Isn't that what life is all about, making other smile and making life just alittle easier for someone?

HALLOWEEN QUILT FINISHED

I told you I was busy last week....finished this one. I just stippled it. Mr Pfaff makes this so fun and easy.

Don't forget about the giveaway below!!!!

REMEMBER THIS ONE???

This is the quilt I made for my friend from my last work place. She is totally awesome and well, it is past her birthday (am I bad or what)? Well, it is also for her retirement next year this time. So I am late, early...whatever!!!

To put my disclaimer in, I do not drink, I am not advertising drinking, this quilt just suits my sweet friend.

I have an awesome backing, I would show it to you but I didn't realize that it has a girl with just a lei for a shirt...it is not bad but I don't dare put it on here. I didn't realize it until it was too late and the back is just wonderful even if she was not on there. Oh well....am I bad again? My mistake.

One time I made a quilt for my son's graduation, it has class of 2002 on it and well, the "cl" got cut off in parts of the quilt. I never realized it until completed.....and one of the boys saw it... what a hoot they got, they will never let me live that one down.

TWAS A BUSY WEEK LAST WEEK!!

So I will start off with my most recent finish. This is that swap I did a while back. I just stippled it. Do you ever sew and think....wow, this is awesome, nothing has gone wrong................................ and then it does. Like you jinx yourself. Well, I did in this case, I was two thirds the way through, so excited and wham!!!! I sew a seam in the back....then the tension goes bad, then I run out of thread....shall I go on. So, I am glad to have this done.

I have also figured out that when I start to sandwich my quilt, before I start to quilt it, I make sure I have the binding ready. This way, I go from quilting to binding and don't have the problem of just letting the quilt sit waiting for a binding.

Don't forget about the quilt giveaway below....
Happy Quilting!!
