No words needed

These are the fabrics and ribbons that I plan to use

in a tote bag.  More pictures to follow.

Brownies for everyone!

Ever heard of spoonflower.com?  You can print your own fabric--anything you want.

So I typed up my Brownie recipe and uploaded it to Spoonflower.  They printed 4

of them on one fat quarter.  I cut it into fourths and made 4 mug rugs for gifts and exchanges.

I'm just sorry that I didn't keep one for myself!  :(

Jack's Pillowcase

This was made for Jack for Christmas.  I found the fabric at the Houston Quilt Show

in October 2011 and finally got it ready for him for Christmas in 2012.  Isn't that fabric cool?

3-inch 9-Patch Exchange

At the beginning of 2012 I invited 10 ladies to participate in a 3-inch 9-patch 

exchange.  We would trade 4 sets of 10 each month for the whole year--total

of 500 3-inch 9-patches!  Yes, we did it.  Everyone was great and turned theirs

in each month.   Here is a shot of me swapping them out one month.

I do have my quilt started and I will try to share pictures of it soon.

Christmas in March

I should have posted these photos in December.  But here it is March!

These were mug rugs that I made for several exchanges that I was participating in.  

I also gave one of these to my Secret Pal at the Garland Quilt Guild.  She liked it

so much that she copied my pattern and made 14 -- yes, fourteen! -- for

Christmas gifts herself.  Wow.  I'm impressed.

These guys were super easy.  His face is just a snowball.  Then bordered with the

same fabric as the corners.  I used fusible applique for his nose.  I just covered one large

piece of orange fabric with fusible then I cut off long triangles, so they were all random and wonky.  The mouth and eyes are just black DMC floss.  

I did make one with black buttons for the eyes.

Long time, no post

I'm always so busy quilting that I don't take the time that I should to post.  I have a bunch of photos of my current, and recent projects and I'm going to try to get a lot of them uploaded in the next few days.

This is one of Bonnie Hunter's quilts called Tumalo Trail.  A group of friends, 4 of us, made blocks and swapped them.  We wanted to use up 1-1/2" strips that we had on-hand already.  This is on the design wall and not yet put together.

Ignore the stuff on the bottom.  It's another quilt that's in the works.
