Sewing Machine Cover and Mat

Years ago, my Mom gave me a Singer Featherweight sewing machine. This is one of my favorite machines, and of course, I think of my Mom when I do my quilt pieceing on it. I wanted to make a quilted cover for it, so I choose the same fabric my sewing room chair has on it. Also made a matching mat to place my machine on. The cover has a solid pink piping along the edges. The quilting was done in a cross hatch pattern.

Miss Kate Fabric Bowl

I had two extra squares left over from a Miss Kate, Summer In The Park quilt I made last year. I had sewn a solid red binding on this square, then followed a cloth bowl/bin tutorial from Vanessa, with the Crafty Gemini. So simple to make, and in no time at all! I am using mine to hold all my Wonder Clips.

Cupcake Coffee Mug

I was viewing Vanessa's (Crafty Gemini) tutorial on her "Cupcake Coffee Mug" one day. At the time, my printer wasn't working to print her templates, so I decided to make my own. There is only three pieces to the cupcake: (1) the cupcake (2) the frosting on top (3) the heart cherry. Very easy instructions. Mine finished to be 11.5" wide by 7" tall. I use mine in my sewing room, when my sweet daughter brings me my favorite hot tea!

Scrumptious Four Square/Half Square Triangle

I had several Scrumptious Layered Cake squares left over from a previous quilt, so I alternated a four square with half square triangles. I used some Scrumptious yardage in the cream floral for sashing and the border. The backing and binding is a solid red in Kona. Quilting was done in hearts and loops. This turned out to be a lap size quilt. When I have one of my quilts on my couch, one of my dogs takes the invite!

Chantilly Jelly Roll Jam With Sashing

I was watching Kimberly Jolly's Jelly Roll Jam tutorial, and decided to make a small lap quilt. (Good size for a baby quilt too) I selected Chantilly for my fabric, and of course, used a jelly roll. The only thing I changed, was to add sashing to enlarge the quilt some. I used a small yellow and white print for the backing and the binding, and did a simple stipple for the quilting. Fast and fun to make!

Jelly Roll Twist

This is my 2nd Jelly Roll Twist, done in Bloom and Bliss fabric. Since I had so much left over fabric, I decided to make another one. The differences between the two: I used a pink floral for the border on this one, a pink blender fabric for backing and binding, and quilted it myself. (1st one was done by a long armer) These are a lot of fun to make...but on to my next quilt...Jenny's Nine Patch Swap!

Dutch Garden "Nine Patch Swap"

After watching Jenny's tutorial on her Nine Patch Swap, I knew I wanted to make one. The only difference is, I decided to add sashing to enlarge the size of the quilt. I used the Dutch Garden collection, using a small blue print for my sashing and inner border, along with the larger yellow floral print for my outer border. Backing is a solid white on white tiny floral print. Quilting still needs to be done. I will be giving this quilt to my sister for her "60"th birthday. 5-13-17, quilting is finished!

Bloom and Bliss Pillows

Since I had several left over squares from my daughters Bloom and Bliss quilt, I decided to make her two matching pillows for her bed. Quilting was done in a large cross hatch pattern. Back of pillows was yardage from the collection. My daughter is my biggest quilting fan, and gets so excited when I make her something new. She usually does the "happy dance" all thru the house! Lol

Lecien Retro Child's 30's Bunny, Baby Quilt

This baby quilt is made from the Lecien Retro Child's 30's Bunny collection. I looked at other fabric, but kept coming back to this. It was 10 fat quarters cut into charm squares. It's just a random placement of the various fabrics, using Kona Snow for the border. Quilting was done in a straight line pattern, with hearts on the border. Backing is yardage from the collection. I used a pink and white striped binding from my Olive's Flower Market fabric. UPDATE: This quilt was made for my 2nd Granddaughter, River Leigh, who was born Sunday, 11-5-17. Such a sweet blessing!
