Summer Projects

Just a few of the projects I have been working on this summer

This is a pattern I got from Moda Bake Shop

A great place to get ideas and free patterns for quilts and many other projects

The top is done and I will send this one out to be machine quilted

I would like to have some different designs done on it

probably use this one for Kennedy

It was fun to do and went together pretty quick

you do have to pay attention to your points when you put your blocks together

These little triangles around the edge are called Prairie Points

VERY time consuming!!!

but I think they make the quilt

This one took more time to cut out than it did to sew together

I love the Mayfly Bug ABC fabric - I had to "fussy" cut each letter out

tricky since they were not lined up in rows

I just need to get the backing and put it together - bind it in the red print

I will tie this one - it is for Kennedy

aren't these little guys just adorable?

 This one is for my mother-in-law, Sherrie

She celebrated her 70th birthday this weekend

we were trying to decide something from grandkids

I came up with this idea for a quilt/wall hanging

The kids each picked out their own material for their hand

we traced them and then I used heat bond and appliqued to the quilt

I also did a row of stitching around each hand called "echoing"

I have never done needle point but thought their names turned out pretty well

It was a really fun project to do

This is some new fabric I got in the mail last week

It is my new project for London

she has been asking for a new blanket

I have a great pattern that I have been wanting to do for her

This is the new Bohemian Festival line from Lila Tueller

The yellow and pink on the far left is something for me

not sure what I am going to do with it but I will find something

Busy sewing - something I do enjoy

what else can you do in Kansas 

when you leave for work at 7:20 and it 82 degrees out and you come home it is 100+

you go to bed at 10 PM and it is still 95 degrees - this is how it is for days on end

Keep Cool
