Mug Rugs

Just a little something for some of my friends at work.

This will match the quilt I made him.   But this will stay at work so his desk will stay dry. 

I just loved this fabric.  It says Crabby but I thought it needed more so I put Alicia's initial on it.  Now all I can think about is the Scarlet Letter

What else do you make for someone who is on the phone all day.   And Nikki loves purple   

Modern Table Runner-Inspired from QuiltCon

I was so inspired form a quilt I saw at QuiltCon i just had to make it.  I had the perfect opportunity when my neice picked 4 different colors of Fiesta Ware for her Wedding registry.   While at QuiltCon i purchased a Kona Color Chart (I love it. That is a blog post in its self.) so I took it to Macys and matched it up to the dishes.  So now she has a table runner that matches perfectly.

Of corse this is the front

This was the first time I played with the matchstick quilting.  I like how the thread in the color blocks shows on the grey.

And this is the back

When she opened it the first thing she saw was the back and she loved it.  Then I had to tell her to turn it over.  Once she realized it matched her dishes she loved it.


Enjoy!!!

More Bags!!!

Seems like everyone is having a Birthday at the same time.

ENJOY!!

My New Toy--Sizzix Fabi Fabric Cutter

Wile I was at QuiltCon in February I saw this Sizzix Fabric Cutter.  How Fun!!!  I didn't buy it there because I had to fly home and didn't want to deal with packing it.  So it was the first thin I had to buy when I got home.  The first die i purchased was the bottle.  I couldn't wait to use it so my kitties got a new place mat.  The love it and so do I.

It sews together very easily for being curves.  I'm very happy with the outcome.  Just imagine a whole quilt made like this.

Enjoy!!!

More Bags

These are for some very lucky ladies heading to Paris.

My bosses wife and daughter are off to Paris on a girls trip. I think this will be a fun surprise for them. 

Peacock Feather

I made this for my quilting friend and I am very happy with my peacock feather.  

I will be quilting this design again and again.

Enjoy

Congratulations Jenna

 My Niece is getting married!!!

She had an engagement BBQ and everyone was instructed to bring a pie.  Since I sew much better than I cook this is what I brought.  I just love all the ideas she has for the wedding I hope she lets me help.
