Farm Girl Vintage...

I am making progress putting together this sampler....2 more rows with sashing... I am making this a twin size.  Lori Holt is the designer of the Farm Girl blocks and they have been delightful to sew....

Scrappy Stars...

Over the past few years, I have posted various pictures of these stars...Finally the quilt is finished...I made it into a big twin/small double sized quilt...It turned out so scrappy that I added the hot pink stripe to help rest your eyes and give it a little "pop"...I love how it turned out!

Fifty Nifty United States...

 Ever since I have seen a map of the United States on Pinterest http://seekatesew.com/scrap-map-tutorial/, I have wanted to make one.  What a fun way to use scraps and make an interesting wall quilt...

 A week ago, I was at My Girlfriend's Quilt Shoppe up in the Attic sewing with friends and I started working on this project...I actually was working on two at the same time as one map was for a friend...

I used the spray starch method from Natalia Bonner's blog, Piece N Quilt to prep my states and then used an Elmer's Glue Stick to hold them in place...

For my template for the states, I simply traced them onto freezer paper and ironed them onto the prepared starched scraps...Great project and now to share at the quilt guild in January because I have been asked to show a Pinterest inspired quilt project...What a fun project!!!

Bee in My Bonnet Row Along--Row One...

Lori Holt of Bee in my Bonnet is hosting a Row Along...She will post every 2 weeks and the Row Along will go into springtime.  The measurements of this quilt will be a twin size quilt...I am so excited to do this and if you want to join along, there is still time...just go here...

Here are my 3" squares that I cut... 

This is the strip that it made...Lori shows a fun technique for sewing these 1 1/2" squares beginning with 3" squares...If you are up to learning fun techniques and sewing a darling quilt follow along...

More blocks...

My sister and I are making a "kitchen sink" quilt, inspired by Victoria's quilt she made here is a link to see Victoria's quilt... The above blocks are made from 1 1/2" squares.  Normally most people throw away fabric that small, but I really like how they shine like jewels... Each month, my sister and I exchange two blocks each and keep two of the same blocks, so we have a total of 4 blocks per month.  We also include any orphan blocks we come across.  We have been doing this for a few months so far and hopefully we will be able to get it finished sometime in 2012.  Has anyone inspired you to make a particular quilt?  We have had a lot of fun researching and making our different blocks each month!!!

June block...Little Birdie Stitches

This is the block for June, Little Birdie Stitches.  Boy was it fun to make and I really enoyed the design on this one...If you want to follow along and make these cute little blocks, go to the button on my sidebar, Birdie Stitches.

May Little Birdie Stitches...

This is the May block for Birdie Stitches.  This BOM has been really a delightful project.  Can't wait for June...

Scrappy Finishes

This quilt was really fun to sew.  The pattern was from a free quilting class at the Red Rooster before they went out of business.  We exchanged 6" squares and this quilt was born.  Great way to do some stash busting...

This quilt pattern was by Bonnie Hunter from her Leaders and Enders book, "Happily Scrappily Irish."   I enjoyed making this quilt so much.  It was made entirely from stash.  I would like to make another one and use up more of my scraps.  I tossed everything in this quilt and it was fun to see it come together.

A close up of the quilting.  I loved how it adds dimension to this quilt.

March Little Birdie...

Here is the March block--I think the birdie is waiting for that pot of gold...

Patchwork Pup

This magazine came out approximately spring/summer 2008

 I have wanted to make this puppy pillow for my niece and nephew ever since I saw it in this magazine.

This is the girl version so far...It will go with her big girl quilt...stay tuned.

Block 2 Little Birdie Stitches

 I have been piecing 12 1/2" blocks of 2 1/2" squares to sew with the Little Birdie Stitches.  This is a great project to make a fun quilt and use up all those scraps that I have boxes and boxes of.  I have been really enjoying this in between other projects.  I'm trying to incorporate Bonnie Hunter's leaders and enders.  It saves on thread and it is amazing how quickly they sew up.

The February block for Little Birdie Stitches.  If you haven't been stitching these and would like to, it stiches up really fast and it is a fun take along project.  The finished block is 12 1/2" and the demo is done with Sunkissed, which is beautiful.  The button for this project is on my sidebar.

Little Birdie Stitches

Little Birdie Stitches is a BOM embroidery project that is absolutely adorable.  I have a button on my sidebar if you wish to check it out.  The featured project is done out of the springy fabric line "Sunkissed" by Sweetwater.  However, I need to use up my mounds of scraps and what better way to have them shine than to include some fun embroidery with them...So, here's my first block...

Another finish--Yippee

I got the top finished with borders this weekend. Took the picture outside and it was a blustery day--but you get the idea... Now on to the next UFO....
