I made this cute little quilt for my Mother-In-Law for Mother’s day. I love the ruffles in the quilt. The perfect size for a lap, table, or sofa.
My Favorite Wall Hanging
May 20, 2012 by 18 Comments
I love my Whooo La La wall-hanging. I was inspired by the Michael Miller fabrics and these quirky little hooties. It’s also a lot of fun to say “Whoooooo La La”!!!! The applique is done on the machine as well as the quilting. I have it hanging in my upstairs hallway and when I walk by it makes me smile. That’s what a quilt should do right? Make you smile!! I am entering it in the Blogger’s Quilt Festival over at Amy’s Creative Side. There are so many amazing quilts entered!
How to Ruin a Quilt
May 10, 2012 by Leave a Comment
This is a new topic for me. I usually spend my time creating new, beautiful quilts. Today I will share with you how to ruin one! First put your newly-finished quilt on the living room couch. Then wait for your psycho Bengal Cat to attack the quilt. Let him bite it and claw out all the stitching you’ve worked so hard on! When he is done you are left with tiny holes in the fabric and loose threads!!
Don’t let the cute little sleepy head fool you!!!
If you look closely at the quilt – you can see the threads!! I have since removed the quilt & placed an older quilt there.
Lawn Chair Quilt Top
May 7, 2012 by Leave a Comment
I pieced the Lawn Chair blocks together. It is such a quick, fun pattern. Just the right thing when you need a fabric fix! I love the Tradewinds fabric line – it is so bright – looks great with all the white. Now, how shall I quilt it? (Of course I snapped the picture before I thought to press everything!)
Strippy Quilt Quilted!
April 26, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Just finished quilting the Strippy Quilt. I was going to do straight line stitching – but I decided to just stipple the whole thing instead. I think I like it better that way – otherwise it might have felt too linear – this way it feels super cozy!
Skinny Strips Quilt

I love this Skinny Strips Quilt. You can download the pattern for free HERE.
I found this version on Pinterest from Steph’s Stuff. – I love her colors and her quilting.
This is my quilt top. I just finished piecing it together. It is from Moda’s Fandango line. Today I am quilting it. I think I will use straight line quilting like in the example above.
This is how fun it is to sew with a Bengal cat. As soon as anything goes on the floor – he’s in it. I have to lock him in a room while I pin baste a quilt! The videos are pretty funny too!
Memory Quilt for an Amazing Teacher
February 27, 2012 by Leave a Comment
I wanted to make something special for my son’s 1st grade teacher – she is an amazing lady. I wanted something she would keep forever, enjoy and would reflect the children in her class. So I came up with this quilt. I had each of the children draw a flower on applique paper and choose the fabric. I appliqued their flowers in the center of each block and wrote their name by their flower. I pieced the blocks all together and added a few boarders. I machine quilted it and finished it with hand-stitched binding. 
This is the back of the quilt – I used the Moda Freebird panel for the back – super cute!
We gave her the quilt during the end of the year party. She was so surprised and loved it so much. The children loved showing her “their” flowers. She will hang it in her home office!

Quilted Heart Door Hangers
February 6, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Since I painted my front doors, I am careful not to hang anything that will “clank” on them. My house has too doors so I have to have 2 of what ever – it frustrates me lots! So, I pulled out all my Valentine’s Day fabric scraps and crazy pieced 2 blocks. 
I quilted the blocks
then cut a heart shape out. I had plans to stuff them but they didn’t look good stuffed at all ….so they are flat! I attached a ribbon and hung them on the front doors! And no clanking!
