Welcome Baby Noah Born Today

New Baby Quilt from Eric Carl Fabric 

This was for my sweet friend Marissa.  I just fell in love with this fabric. Eric Carl was one of my favorites when my daughter was young.

This was made from 2 different Eric Carl panels.  I just couldn't decide which one I liked the best so to got both so now I have enough left to make another one.

Enjoy!

Picnic Quilt

This was made from some precut fabric bundles I found at IKEA.  I bought 2 of these 8" square canvas fabric bundles for under 10 dollars.  Each bundle had 50 pieces in it.

I used a twin size duvet cover from IKEA for the back.  I was very happy with the outcome.

Remember This

Just finished the top!!!  

This was from a class I took last year when Mom and I went to Paducah.  This was from the class we took with Eleanor Burns.  

Now I need to figure out how I will quilt this.

Just for Fun---Tutu's

Scrap Busting-Braided Rug

This all got started from cleaning out my selvage bins.  I started braiding them together and making this small rug.  I plan to keep adding on to this.  

Stay tuned!!

This will be perfect in the sewing room I will be making out of my daughters bedroom as soon as I have the heart to take it over.  She graduated college and has decided to stay in Orlando.  

My Selvage Bins Before

Fun Bag

I made this from a pattern called the Midi Bag by Quiltsmart.  I made this a few months ago for myself . The one I made had over 100 small pieces and as you can see I changed the pattern and made this with 6 pieces.

My daughter loves anything that has flags on it.  This star fabric I have had in my stash for at least 20 years.  I think Casey had a forth of july dress made out of this when she was 4 or 5.  I will try to find a picture and post it at the end.  

Before

After

My daughter loved it!!!

I was very happy with how this finished.  The original pattern was patchwork and had a lot of piecing and this was just a few pieces and went together quick and easy.  I am sure I will make more.  

This was my passion before I started quilting.

This was my daughter many years ago.  It was so much fun to sew for her.  I still have many scraps form the dresses i made for her and I just love to use them in my quilts.

IKEA Fun

I was in Ft. Lauderdale for the week staying with my mom after her knee surgery.  I did manage to find some time to get to IKEA with my sister-in-law.  I don't know what it is about that store but I could spend hours there.   Guess what we found?  PRECUTS  approx 8" squares.  

Look I made a quilt top last night.

Since the fabric is heavy like upholstery fabric I think the will make a great picnic or beach quilt.  Pretty fun for around $5.00!!!
