Catching Up

Whew! Made it back sooner than I thought I would. This is Wilma's quilt for her grandaughter. Girly girl quilts are my favorite to quilt.

The flip flop squares look pretty plain unless you take a close up look.

The back reveals the flowers that were quilted in each block.

Cindy made this great little quilt using Laurel Birch fabrics. If you click on this one you can see the quilting better. I think I finished this one on the 23rd of December.

This little beauty was made by Lisanne. Her 2nd quilt! She's had the loving help of her grandmother along the way. It's a baby quilt for a friend. Lucky friend! 

Even a scalloped border. Fun to quilt too.

There's the latest wrap up for me. More pictures on the camera to show soon too.

I've been shopping in my stash for a new project. Jenny over at Sew Kind of Wonderful is having a Quilt Along using her Quick Curve Ruler. She even has videos on using the ruler & her curved piecing technique. 

I'm taking the top I made to CIQ tonight & will blog about it soon.

Enjoy the sunshine today. I'm hoping for some beach time.

I'm Baaaaaack

Do you hear the blog angels singing? Finally a post! This first quilt is by Mary. A sweet flannel baby quilt.

This is another one of Mary's quilts. She was really busy!

The next 3 pictures I used the Flurry panto. It's my favorite snowflake!

This is from Nancy. A southwest feel & the bear that I echoed. I know it kind of looks like a pig without a tail , right? I said it so you didn't have to! I blew up the exact bear shape from the fabric & made a stencil.

That's it for now. I am going to try again soon. I have lots of quilts to show you. Life has been a runaway train around here. It's my new normal. Praying for peace for Dad.

Missing my Little Misters.

Please Stand By......

Blogger is not liking me very much these days. I have been trying to upload pictures & it's only letting me do 1 at a time, if that. I'm working on a post & hopefully will have one up soon. Hope you are all safe out there. It has been snowing all morning here. We are luckier than most right now. Be back soon! Sharon

Happy New Year

How has 2012 been for you so far? Other than blogger not letting me upload pictures, all good here. I've tried at least 3 times to post & finally got lucky today. First up is Jolyn from CA double Wedding Ring. Part hand pieced, part machine. I don't blame her, piecing one of these all by hand would make me crazy. I did lots of leaves. Love those leaves!

Pat made her son a t-shirt waall hanging from some of his swimming shirts. It was one of my "week before Christmas" quilts.

I have several other quilts to show you, but I'm not going to push my luck today. Later this week, promise. Enjoyed my time with Joanna & the boys. Baby Daniel is a force to be reconned with. He's a fast one, unplugged the Christmas tree lights twice! Little Mister Andrew is the Embassador of Happy. It was nice for this Nana to fill her cup up with grandbaby love! I'll be back soon!

A Nice Surprise

Merry Christmas everyone! My Secret Pal strikes again!

DD had planned on taking me out for some "retail therapy" anyway. Looking forward to finding something for myself & spending some time with the fam.

Thank you Secret Pal for another unexpected surprise!

Time to go get ready for Nanaland. 8 hours & counting!

A Little Bit of This & a Little Bit of That

Today's quilts are brought to you by Joyce & Chris. First up is Joyce & this lovely panel. I think she got it on e-bay!

Big flowers needed big quilting. By echoing the first quilting line it gave it the dimension I was looking for.

I'm calling the stitching in the green "lazy river". I quilted a "lazy river" line by sections & then echoed about 1/2" away. Remember big designs need big quilting. She doesn't like dense quilting so I left the white areas blank.

If you want a closer look at the quilting just click on the picture.

Chris made Crabapple Hill's Winter Wonderland. I never get tired of quilting this one. Always a different way to add a swirl, curly que or do some Swirly Girly quilting.

Outdoor Christmas lights & more gutter cleaning are calling me. Mr S will be on the roof, thank you very much.

Next will be Christmas cards & cookies are next on my to do list. Sewing for the Little Misters too! And yes, I'm on the countdown again, 22 days 'til I'm in Nanaland!

More quilts coming soon. A big Double Wedding Ring is hot off the machine.
