Nine Patch Quilt Along

I finally have the quilt top done! 110 of these little nine patches, and then all those little squares in the boarder. But I am thrilled with how it is coming along, it is 92" x 100". I am going to quilt it on my Janome 6600. just a diagonal grid. I wish the picture was better but between the wind and the size of the quilt I guess it will have to do for now.

Bloggers' Quilt Festival

I have had a hard time deciding which quilt to post for the Quilt festival. But I finally decided on the Mermaid Quilt that I made my daughter. Every morning when I wake her up, I see that quilt and think "gosh  it's pretty". I just love it!.

I

When I saw this fabric I fell in love. I wanted it for myself but my daughter convinced me that she need it more than I did and her birthday was coming up too. So like a good mom I caved and she picked the pattern and I made this quilt for her. We took a trip to Florida at Christmas just as I was finishing the quilt so I took it with us so it the mermaids could see the ocean. :)

9 Patch Quilt Along

I finally have gotten to work on my 9 patch quilt along. The quilt along is long over, Crazy Mom Quilts hosted this one. Anyway, got my 110 nine patches made, they are all from a collection of batiks that I had. So I wanted the sashing to also be batik also. Little did I know that white batiks are hard to find. So I finally ordered some fabric for Hancock's of Paducha, and it was on back order! So by the time it got here and all the other things that life brings I am just now getting back to it. I am very happy with how it is looking. What do you think?

Love this new bag!

Finally a new purse that I really love. I have made so many bags over the last 8 to 10 years that I am bored. I have used new fabrics and all that stuff.  I have made them for every holiday, events that we are involved with etc. So in the last year I have not made many new purses. But I just love this new embroidery from Embroidery Library. I have used it on a couple of other items also. I have been saving this batik for a long time and when I got this piece of linen for almost nothing at Hancocks one day, I decided to make it into a bag. I have just enough batik left to make a wallet. :) I will hopefully find time to get that made in the next week or so.

Hexagon Charm Quilt

Yes, I caved, I have done some English Paper piecing before, but this is just a fun hand project to do when watching TV. I have seen so many bloggers posting their charm quilts that I caved. I am using the scraps form my large Hexagon Quilt, the latest  Old Red Barn Quilt Along to make my little hexagons. So this  little Hexagon Charm Quilt, also has a quilt along. ^_^  it is by Texas Freckles. She also has a flicker group so you can see all the little quilts in progress. You can check that out here.

Really?

I saw this on another blog and had to copy is this crazy?
