Some fun, quick and easy finished projects!

Here are some projects that I've been working on last week.  I finished this quilt  and I really like it.  I don't normally like square quilts but I like this one because of the beautiful flower fabric on it.  It really looks like Fall to me. 

Here's three other table runners I finished.  These are for Christmas this year. I'll keep one and give the other two to my sweet daughter-in-laws. 

 

These are the table runners I made at the guild workshop I went to on Saturday last weekend.  This pattern is referred to as a 10 minute or 15 minute table runner and is by Utah State University.  There is a link to the pattern on the bottom right of my blog in the tutorial section.  This is a fun and easy pattern to make and you can use holiday fabric. I plan on making a St. Patrick's Day runner also so I'll show you that one when it is done. 

 

This is the other item I made at the guild workshop. It is a handy basket made from fabric and was quick and easy to make.  I plan to make more of these also. 

 

 

That's all for now, more to come later.  Have a good week, happy stitching.

I went to a workshop Saturday with my quilt guild. There was about 25 of us and we did two projects.  We made a handy basket and an easy 15 minute table runner.  It was a lot of fun and I plan on making a lot more so I can use up some of my scraps. I've done the table runner before and it is fun and quick to make.  It is the table runner by Utah State and there is a link on the right side of my blog down below.

 

 

Old Mystery quilt finally together and ready to quilt!

 

I went to a retreat this weekend with several friends and I was able to finally finish this quilt top.  This was a mystery quilt from years ago. It has been in my closet forever and I finally finished the last three blocks and put the top together.  I decided it needed a solid color border and a piano key border for the outside.  It takes a lot of time to do the piano key border but it was well worth the effort.  Now to quilt it.

 

 

 

I'm back and here are two projects to show you-Carpenter Star and Pink Scrap Quilt

Hello, I'm back. I didn't realize it had been so long since I had posted on my blog.  I post every month on the other blog I do for my quilt group (Sew What's)....This has been a hard year for me.  I've just done what I needed to do. I have been feeling bad all year so I've only done what I was required to do....My computer has been giving me trouble too and I've been fighting with it alot too. I almost decided to quit blogging but I went back and looked at what I have done over the years and it helped me to remember things...so, I decided it was important that I continue to blog.  I have been working on alot of things but I haven't finished alot of things yet.  I am in several swaps and they are going on all year..I am working on alot of scrappy quilts just so I can not waste any of my scraps.  I've felt overwhelmed but I'm getting over that and just trying to enjoy my sewing and quilting again. 

Here are two quilts I have finished this year.  I finished this one a few weeks ago and gave it to my niece. Her favorite colors are turquoise and brown so that's why I made her this one.  This pattern is by Debbie Maddy of Calico Carriage.  I took a workshop earlier in the year and made me a quilt top out of this pattern and I'll be quilting it soon.  I looked and looked through my patterns and books until I remembered I had this pattern and thought it would do good for the fabrics I bought for her.  Anyway, I did this one and Jeni loves it.  I think it turned out pretty good.  I'm going to probably make another one too for my sister (her Mom). I like this pattern because you can use fat quarters for it. I bought yardage and I have enough to probably make two quilts. so I might make me one too..We'll see...

This is the Carpenter Star pattern.

This is just a little scrap quilt I finished.  I'm going to keep it for my new grandbaby coming in December.

That's it for now, more to come later.  

A Snowman quilt top - All Bundled Up

I made this top today for the quilt shop.  It is called All Bundled Up and is a pattern by Debbie Mumm.  The fabric is also her fabric line.  This was fun and easy to make.

Here's a close up of the snowmen.  So cute.

A baby quilt for little Elizabeth

I made this scrappy quilt for a new little person.  Elizabeth was born October 15th to my friends Marion and Joey.  Marion's theme for her nursery was Winnie the Pooh but I couldn't find any Winnie the Pooh fabric in time for her gift so I just used some of my scraps. I apologized for not making a Winnie the Pooh quilt and I was pleasantly surprised and tickled by Joey. He said he was so glad to get a normal quilt and he really liked it.  He was glad it wasn't Winnie the Pooh. A sweet couple with a beautiful little girl....

Getting ready for Christmas with a little wall hanging-Spruce It Up

I made this cute little wall hanging last week and showed it at my quilt meeting.  This is called Spruce It Up and is a 3 D pattern designed by Jackie Robinson of Jackie's Animas Quilts.  It was a fun but challenging little quilt to make.  Below is a closer view of the quilt.

More Christmas to come soon.  I hope you enjoy your week and get some crafty time in.  Til next time, happy stitching.
