Well, the picture looks very Christmasy but closer inspection it isn’t! This is another in the collections of older fabrics I recently acquired. This is also the first time I actually used ribbon candy quilting pattern. Something I’ve been opposed to because it seemed over used to me. But, the narrow border and the older fabrics really called for it.

Star Pillow Shams

I have been watching Missouri Star Quilt Co for months now. Love all the tutorials. Jenny demonstrated the Hattie's Sunflower and I had to try it. I used scraps from a quilt I made for my daughter last year, and made throw pillow shams to match for her Christmas gift this year. Jenny's tips to doing the piecing were very clear and easy. I can't wait to make some quilts with the patterns and rulers I've purchased. This is the first time I have shown my work outside of family and it is exciting.

Baby Quilts

More in the acquired stash, this packet had two panels and a bunch of coordinating fabrics. I decided to do a log cabin type pattern. Not thinking how big these would get. And one was weird sized so it threw everything off. Sewed them all and assembled only to realize it was now almost a twin bed sized quilt in a baby motif! Not going to happen! So I took the weird sized one and its row partner off. Took them apart and stacked them. Put borders on and called it as I was DONE! Was able to use a lot of the extra fabrics as backing. Stitched in the ditch and outlined the critters. One is bound with grey the other I used the leftover strips cut for the log cabins.

LOVE BUGS

I recently came across the pattern for these adorable little Love Bug cushions pattern. I really wanted to make some and with my 'little people' now all past the stage, I decided to make them for my sister's grandchildren. They have open wings (ie: not stitched down) so that you can pop your little message under the wing & they too can write their own little message & pop under there also. Ideal for those small people who just love to write or receive notes.

BOOK MARKS for Charity

We recently lost our beautiful son in law Curtis to Pancreatic Cancer after a three-year mighty struggle of survival. Our little grandson was having a charity fete day at his school & the children had to decide which charity would be the recipient of the funds raised at their stall. Eleven year old Jake & cousin Taite decided that Pankind had to be the charity to benefit from their funds having lost uncle Curtis & poppy Bill to another cancer a few years ago. Jake decided to make some bookmarks to sell, so he got set on my sewing machine and away he went, Sewing all day for two consecutive days making over 70 bookmarks. His efforts to be commended.
