Gizmo

My sweet little guy. As I sewed and sewed and sewed some more. He patiently waited for me and fell asleep. I was up until 11:30 last night sewing. I went by the library to pick up a quilt book I have been waiting to check out. Gizmo was fiesty when I got home, So tonight we took a break from sewing and I planted my flowers in my flower bed, while I waited for the laudry to dry. I need to plan a night to relax and just chill. So maybe tomorrow I can sit and plan my next quilt. I currenty have 3 cut out and ready to sew, But I need to plan a new project.

Happy Quilting.

Upcoming Quilt Show

My quilt guild " The Lathrop Sew N Sews" have their annual quilt show on July 31st. This year I have decided to be a bit bolder and enter 3 quilts. My halloween wall hanging, a Scrapy baby quilt and Kirsten's coin quilt. I have been working hard on three other quilts as well. Now I am of to go do some binding....go, go, go.

Quilt Retreat

I had a wonderful time with my quilt guild at the Feb 2010 retreat. I was able to complete this Butterfly Fling Stack Coin Quilt I have been talking about doing for a while. With the Demo I presented, two fellow quilters completed the raggy square quilts. The mystery quilt Judy put together was a really cool pattern. Everyone had fun with our gift exchange.              

Sewing and Sewing some more....

I took a class through my quilting guild "The Sew and Sews", the quilt squares were called "Pointless Wonder."  I made 12 squares and have started a lap quilt with brown strips. I have no idea how this will turn out. So stay tuned for some picture soon.

Meanwhile I finished the donation quilt top and am about to quilt it. Thanks Quilts for Kids for the project. you can go to http://www.quiltsforkids.org/volunteer/
They will send you the fabric for a quilt, or I challenge you to send in one of your own. Please contact QFK to get the information.

Now, I also have found some cute Christmas ideas for gifts from my local quilt shop Missouri Star Quilt Company   http://missouriquiltco.com/shop/  , I love this shop. I found the most darling patterns. I have been able to go to Friday night sew, as well as I was able to take a class for cell phone case.
With Christmas coming, I really want to make gift for friends and family. I have jeans cut for a flannel and jean rag quilt. I am hoping to make a quilt for a raffle at work. It is that time of the year. Busy, Busy, Busy.

Tonight I am moving all my sewing stuff to my craft room downstairs. I am getting ready to set it all up. Who knew fabric is so heavy and takes up that much  room. I certainly am getting a workout.

Happy Thanksgiving

I love giveaways thanks LT!!

Finished this- how spooky is that

Here is the wall hanging top I finished. I love the how it turned out. I found great deals on the Fabric. The fun part was designing and sketching it out, then finding the fabric. I am not the best at the applique . I have a new product to try out, I bought a Fab U Motion for stippling. I had so much fun making this, I just love pumkins. I will be hanging this in my office at work. I will be quilting it tonight.
