Pink Lemonade


A couple months ago I found a bunch of fun pink, orange, yellow, and green fabric on sale. I couldn't resist and had to get it for some future project. It is so bright and cheery. Lately I have been picking a lot of bright fabrics. I am not yet sure what pattern to use it on but there is probably enough to make a couple quilts with it.

WIP-Creole Puzzle


I started this quilt over a year ago-purchased the fabric and cut out the pieces. Then it sat forgotten in a box until I was recently reorganizing all my sewing/crafting things. Now it has been sewn into a quilt top and work is progressing on doing a pieced back with the leftovers and some scraps from other projects.

Trying to Decide

When I started this blog I was planning on only posting pictures of finished projects. But by doing that I will only be posting things once or twice a month because some projects take a while for me to complete. So I thought I could also post some pictures in the process of completing projects but I am not sure. Any thoughts?

A few new posts

Today I posted a couple new projects so scroll down to see them all.

Caleb's Quilt (aka Betty's Delight)


A while ago I pieced this quilt for Caleb. He was tired of me making quilts and giving them to other people. So I made this one to his specifications-black and white, big enough to wrap up in completely in the winter. We call it Caleb's quilt but the actual pattern is called Betty's Delight. After piecing it, the quilt top sat in the closet for at least a year. Finally I took it in to get it quilted. It turned out to be a huge quilt but just exactly what Caleb wanted.

Garden Maze


This is one more quilt that I finally finished. I really like the fabrics in the different blues and white. The blocks are laid out so the rings look intertwined.

Buttercup Purse


On one of my days off this week Hannah and I tried a project. We went to the fabric store and picked out some stuff to make purses. I think they turned out very cute.
