Zoo Charm

This was (at least in theory) a quick charm pack quilt put together. This quilt features Kate Spain's Central Park for Moda line...which really is beautiful. I love all the colors and variety of prints.

Crochet - My New Obsession

Just what I needed...a new hobby. I learned to crochet for two main reasons. One of which was to bond with some new girlfriends, and the other main reason was to have a more portable, less expensive hobby than quilting. Crochet seems to fit the bill.

Here is my most recent project I just finished tonight. It is a headband that I had seen and fell in love with. So comfy and covers up a bad hair day, which I I seem to have more of than good hair days.

Two Words

Still sick.

Even a Little Progress is Still Progress

As usual, I didn't make as much progress as I had hoped this past week. However, I was able to finish the top to one quilt, and I got started on the Piece of Cake 2 quilt...both exciting.

This simple charm pack quilt shows off Kate Spain's Central Park line quite nicely.

And the backing is all ready to go.

This is the It's a Hoot line by Moda (LOVE!) Just started the Piece of Cake 2 pattern...

I was able to get my hands on two charm packs of Sweetwater's Countdown to Christmas, and to my surprise - it is even better in real life than the computer screen! I have been saving up for a couple months and can't wait till June to get my hands on some actual yardage. I have at least three projects planned with it!

Current Projects

I did a little project inventory and took some pictures to share. These are all projects I'm currently working on or getting ready to start - at least the ones I'm willing to share. If you are anything like me, there are so many cute fabrics, patterns, and projects to do, I can never seem to find the time to do all of them!

I am determined to start finishing these!

I love, LOVE, LOVE! the It's a Hoot fabric line by MoMo from Moda, and I think it will look great in the Piece of Cake (2) pattern by Thimble Blossoms seeing how I couldn't even handle the thought of cutting up some of those beautiful designs!

The new Sunkissed line is so refreshing! I think it will look awesome in this basket pattern.

This is a quilt kit I purchased at Piper's Quilts and Comforts.

I have a couple of quilts that need to be quilted...(can you also tell I have a couple of walls that need to be painted too ;)

One that needs binding...

Since I finished the hat for my daughter, my son has been bugging me for one. I'm doing his in black, sans flowers of course.

Lastly (at least that I'm willing to share), I have started some leggings for my daughter...for when she's a bit older. Look how nice my crochet stitches are! I'm so proud, my tension has really improved.

Kowboy Kash Quilt

This was made for a co-worker's grandson, Kash. His room is cowboy themed.

I was very happy with the appliqued letters and the quilting. This is only the second quilt I have quilted with my new HandiQuilter 16. I think the stars and loops turned out really nice, and it handled two thread colors perfectly!

Pookie's Hat

Here are a few pictures of Pookie wearing her new hat.
