Picture Wednesday - Quilt For Sale!!

This beautiful little gem is now for sale in my Etsy shop!


This cute and girly quilt is made up of bright designer cotton fabrics in a modern pattern. The back is a simple square block in Turquoise Kona Solid Cotton and a beautiful Kaffee Fassett Aqua floral print. Machine pieced and quilted using 100% cotton batting. The Turquoise binding is hand stitched using a blind hem stitch for an invisible finish. The quilt is pre-washed giving it a beautiful and soft crinkled look. 
Quilt measures approx 40x40. 










I love the wavy line quilting!

I love this quilt and it will be hard to part with but, it would make a little girl really happy!

Monday

Here it is, Monday again. Not much going on just working on the same projects and since I cleaned the house this weekend I have lot's of time to sew. 
This week I am working on - 


1. Hand stitching the binding on the Stacked Coin quilt. Got lots done this weekend while watching TV. Have about 1/2 of the quilt left to do!



2. Starting to work on my March block for Corey who is a part of our "Sew New To Me VQB" group. I am looking forward to working on her block. It is to be made up of 1/2 square triangles. Figuring this out will be fun!



3. Sewing up some more of these cute Paintbox Quilt Along squares!


I have a exciting photo to post on Picture Wednesday!


Everybody have a fun week of sewing!

NJ Quilt Fest

So I have a very good reason for not posting yesterday. I spent all day at the NJ Quilt Fest in Somerset, NJ with my artist friend Cindi. We had a great day looking at all the quilts on display and shopping in the booths. I forgot my camera but really didn't need it. We were both very disappointed in the quilts that were on display. There were only a couple of really good ones that evoked a feeling. Most were just flat and looked the same. The booths were ok. I get really frustrated that you can't find the popular "modern" fabrics at these quilt shows. I did stumble on a couple of cute Japanese prints but that was about it. Even the booths that carried some Amy Butler & Kaffee Fassett had mostly the older patterns (that I have already). And not one booth carried any good solids! It seems like the only place you can find cool fabrics in online. Maybe I should start my own online fabric store????
Here are some photos of the cute fabrics I did find yesterday - 


I am in love with this cute fabric created by Kokka called Trefle. I think I will fussy cut the pieces and frame them for my sewing room.



Love, love, love the jumping frogs also by Kokka.



I have been looking for this fabric for awhile. It's Alexander Henry "Senor Burrito". He is so cute!


So this weekend I will be hand stitching the blind hem on the stacked coin quilt. I have lots of TV taped so I can catch up on my shows!
We also have 2 house showing scheduled for tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed!!
Have a great weekend!

Picture Wednesday 3.03.10

I know, I know, I didn't post on Monday but had a very good reason. I had to clean the house and get ready for the Brokers Open we had on Tuesday. A lot of agents turned out so hopefully they will find some buyers! Keep your fingers cross. 


On to picture Wednesday. My best friend since kindergarden had her second baby on Monday. She had another adorable little boy - Wesley Neil. So of course I had to make her a baby quilt. I also went ahead and made a matching quilt for her 5 year old Clay. Brothers must have matching quilts! I used my Munki Munki Alien fabric. I thought the boys would love it.







I applique the boy's names on the back. Love how they turned out!






I mailed the quilts out today. Can't wait for her to get them!

What I did this week....

It has been a good week and this is my 3rd post! So far, so good in keeping with my new blogging resolution.

So this week I finished up the Stacked Coin quilt top. I am very happy with the size and the way it looks. I used Amy Butlers "Daisy Chain" line for the coin strips. 

It's amazing how a stack of strips can come out to look like this -

All I am waiting on now is a little more of the Aqua solid which I ordered from Kerri at Sew Deerly Loved to finish the back. Then this beauty will be ready for quilting. That will be on my project list for next week!

I also did a few more of my Paintbox Quilt-Along blocks. I just love them!! 36 blocks completed, 46 more to go. 

I also have a little "Hope Valley" up my sleeve but, I will have to share that with you later.

Have a good weekend!

PS. Had lot's of snow again this week but I am lucky that my husband is here this weekend to help me shovel!!

Picture Wednesday!

Here is Wednesday's photo.

This is my Feb. "Sew New To Me" quilting bee block for Faith. The block design is called Map of the States ala Oh Fransson. This block was so much fun to make. Can't wait to see her finished quilt.

I finished the top of the Stacked Coin Quilt. Will post photos Friday! Hope you will check it out.

Blogging again

I had a New Year's resolution to blog more often. Well, we see how that worked out. But now I am going to pretend that this is the first-of-the-year and declare a do-over. I have been thinking about a way to help me keep this up and I came up with post ideas for different days. So, going forward I will be having Project Mondays, Picture Wednesday and What I did this week Fridays.

So here we go! Just because I haven't been blogging doesn't mean that I haven't been working on a bunch of projects. This week I will be working on –

WIP Stacked Coin Quilt. This is actually my first "getting paid for" quilt. I am very excited about how it is turning out. I just need to finish 2 more columns of coins before I can put together the front.

And the back is almost done!

I am also participating in the Paint Box Quilt Along hosted by Elizabeth Hartman at Oh, Franssion . I have quite a few blocks made but a lot more to do. This has been a lot of fun to work on and also see what other people are coming up with. Check out the flicker group and see all the beautiful blocks. Here is just a preview of a few I have put together.

Don't forget to join me for Picture Wednesday!
