Two New Quilts!

Two new quilts are done and in my Etsy shop!

It was soooo windy when I was trying to take the pictures I had to use clothes pins to keep them from flying away! 

This quilt has been a Work In Progress for a long time, so I'm glad its finally in the finished quilts pile. It turned out so cute!

This quilt was pieced over the summer so its not as old of a WIP. I also love the way this quilt came out. 

They are both so soft and cuddly. They are perfect for babies to cuddle in, and as toddlers they can drag them along on all their adventures.

Long Time No Post

Oups. Why has it taken me so long to blog?

Probably because I have been crazy busy lately!

Good news, I have a quilt that just needs to be bound.

Even better news, I have a finished quilt that I'm getting ready to put up on Etsy.

Even better news I sold a quilt on Etsy tonight. 

And I have officially blogged for the first time in over a month. 

I wil be back later this week with pictures I promise.

More WIP's

Well I technically have been working on my New Year's Resolution, I have been using the fabric I have....to make more quilt tops. I have had the blocks for this quilt made since last spring and last week got inspired to finally make something out of them. I put the whole thing together in just a few hours and fell in love with it. No way am I selling this one! 

Fabric is Spring House by Stephanie Ryan for Moda Fabrics. 

This fabric line came out last spring I believe so I could hardly find yardage for borders and binding. I found a little at Fat Quarter Shop and bought almost all they had. 

I did finish a few quilts this past week and a half. I finished binding two quilts for Christmas presents for my little cousins, but of course I forgot to take a picture of them. I also got my first T-shirt quilt back from the longarmer, it turned out awesome! I bound it and gave it to my mom for her to give as a Christmas present. I did get a picture of it though, yay me for remembering!

I hope you had a great Christmas, I sure did, now its time to get back to my machine and keep working on those UFO's!

New Year's Resolution...Starting Early

I don't know about you but I have a ton of works in progress! Like, I don't even want to tell you how many quilt tops I have finished, just waiting patiently for their batting, backing, and quilting to make them complete. I also have a ton of blocks made for various quilts, that I just need to sit down and finish, so I'm going to post some of them here so I can be accountable to finish them! 

What is wrong with me? Why do I make such cute quilt tops and then never finish them? Here are just some of the tops I have that need finished.

First up I have my falling charms quilt top made from Oink-A-Doodle-Moo by Jenn Ski for Moda fabrics. I absolutely fell in love with this fabric line and still love it. So much so that this is the first of 3 quilts I made with it. 

I really love this quilt. 

This is also an Oink-A-Doodle-Moo quilt made mainly with left overs that I have. Yes have, not had, because I still have more!

And this is the last Oink-A-Doodle-Moo quilt top. 

I just love this block!

This quilt top was pieced over a year ago and I still haven't finished it. That will change, it wont sit for another year unfinished. 

This is made from Daisy Cottage by Bee In My Bonnet for Riley Blake Fabrics.

And lastly, a quilt top I made today, I want to add some borders but this is another that will get finished in 2014!

I call it Wonky Jungle Squares, I feel so bad because I can't remember the name of the fabric line, but I'm pretty sure it is also from Riley Blake.

I think this blue elephant is just adorable. 

Ok, so here are 5 of my works in progress, I have lots more tho! Am I the only one or do you have tons of works in progress also?

Finished Projects

I love Thanksgiving Break! It gave me a couple days to do nothing but sew! On Friday I finished a top, I will show it to you when it is quilted and finished. I finished binding the quilt that has taken way to long to bind and then started and finished another that same day. I just added them to my Etsy shop. 

This quilt is made from Briar Rose by Heather Ross for Windham Fabrics. 

This quilt is made from Socky by Whistler Studios for Windham Fabrics. 

Just this morning I also finished binding another quilt, it is in the washer and I hope to have pictures of it and have it in my shop by tomorrow afternoon. I also have some burp cloths that I need to put in my shop, they will hopefully be there by the end of this week.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thank Goodness for iPads!

I realize last time I posted I said I would be back later that week but life got in the way. Being a college student and a procrastinator things typically don't get done until the last minute. It also doesn't help that my computer has decided not to work and the fact I'm going out of town next week for almost a week, I have been crazy busy!

Here is the only little bit of sewing I have been able to do in the past week. Binding! I love binding because it means I'm almost done!

Until next time,

How Time Fly's!

Wow, I can't believe it has been just over a month since I have posted! Talk about a bad blogger, but hey, I'm still learning here. 

I have been working on a few projects over the past month including trying a new basting method and have quilted 3 quilts and made tons of baby burp cloths. 

I promise to come back later this week with more info and pictures of all that I have been working on!
