Firecracker...

 I just finished sewing this "Firecracker" quilt for a local quilt store.  The pattern is by Jaybird Quilts.  It is well written and a really fun sew.  It uses a specialty ruler to get the angle cuts just right.

 This sweet little quilt was sewn with fabrics from "Children at Play" by SarahJane Studios/Moda.  I have loved this line of fabric since it came out and was really excited to make this quilt up in these fabrics!!

A close up of the quilt...what have you been working on?

Happy Thanksgiving...

May you all enjoy your turkey as you count your many blessings...

Christmas Hotpads and Little Birdie Stitches

 These are the Christmas hotpads for 2012.  Since Christmas is all about gifts, I thought these would be really fun for the festive season...

November Birdie Stitches block.  Only one more month and I will be sewing my quilt together.  All the other blocks are assembled to make a queen size scrappy quilt...

My little elf...

My little grandbaby, Cooper.  I just knitted up this little elf hat for him.  I made this same hat for all my children 20+ years ago and it is still a favorite.  Where we live in Northern Utah, it gets pretty cold and I'm a believer in keeping babies ears covered!!  We took this picture when Cooper came to visit Grammie at work.

Fairy Tale Friends

 I just finished sewing this cute little quilt for a local quilt store...I learned how to do the mitered borders on this.  I have only done them once before and they did not turn out as nice...

 This fabric line is by Sandy Klop, American Jane for Moda Fabrics.  Notice the darling illustrations on the panel blocks...

 I have always loved the story of Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf...

 The Three Little Kittens who lost their mittens--another childhood favorite...

 Goldilocks and the Three Bears...

 And, The Little Gingerbread Boy...This quilt was designed with the intent of telling these classic fairy tales and go from block to block and tell the stories...this would make a fabulous gift for Christmas or birthday for little ones...I found the quilt a delight to make, even though the borders challenged me...

The pattern for this darling quilt!  Another great collection by Sandy Klop.  I just love her work and her creativity.
