Flirty 30s

Here's the finished product of my work with those Flirty 30s prints.

I used some leftover white for the solid, and used the tumblers for the backing.  I'm so happy how this came out, and I really think my in laws will like it.

The UFOs are getting finished..

Three more UFOs are done and off the list! :)  I'm so happy.  

First up in a miniature Panda quilt.  Quilted on a really crappy machine mostly by me (in 2011 - thank goodness that I've improved!!) and partially by my hubby who was trying to fix my tension issues.  It's cute, but I'm not in love with it (hence why it was a UFO for so long). Started it in 2011, finished on June 16, 2013.  *Jumping for joy* it's done.

 

Next up is another fairy quilt.  It's my own pattern, quilted mainly by my 4 year old.  She wanted to help me, so I let her.  This one was going to be my sample quilt for my Craftsy shop, but I'll probably be making another one for the display picture.  Kiddo wants to use it as a doll quilt (and it's already in use)

Berenstain Bears - UFO Done!

Beam another one up! 
Another UFO is now able to be snuggled under.

Here's a picture of the Berenstain Bears quilt hot off the machine.  It's not the best quilting job ever, but the kiddo wanted this quilt ASAP. Once I got the tension issues fixed up which took about an hour or so I was good to go!

 

I'll have to get a good picture of it after the kiddo wakes up tomorrow.  Rarely do I do a total machine binding (usually I hand stitch on the back) but kiddo wanted this quilt so much I got it done as fast as I could by doing the entire binding by machine.  It went really quickly and it's not perfect but it's done and kiddo loves it, so that means it's ok with me.

Roberts Quilt - Another UFO done!

Another UFO bites the dust. It's *done.*  Happy dance time.

Look out Robert - it's all yours. a great couch quilt.

Goddess Miniature Quilt - Complete!

It's finally completed! After I did some of the quilting, I put it away and it was in the box with some other UFOs and just never got bound.  But it's finally bound and complete!

May I present to you: Goddess of Spring

This will be the first in a series of 4 quilts - all of the Goddess.

Fingerless Gloves - Complete!

My mother in law would be so proud. It would have taken me absolute *ages* to crochet anything before she came over, and I'm so proud of myself for making these. Stayed up all night to finish them. So nice and warm. 

Now watch, we won't have any more cold weather.

The year of the UFO...

No, not that kind of UFO silly.  Un Finished Object.  You know, quilty things. :) Ones that I make and then lose interest in because it's taken so long to get to the quilting or binding or .. oh shiny!!  My attention span gave out.

This is the year of the UFO. I'm getting them completed.

What?

Stop laughing.

I'm serious!!

See - it's January 3, 2013 and I have my first UFO done. :)  It's an old one, and it's finally done. From this post - Week 1, 2012!! But still, it's quilted and bound. Feels good to get it off my UFO list.

 

Till next time - Happy Quilting and HAPPY NEW YEAR

Baby Shower Gift - Complete and Ready to Gift

So one of my friends is having her very first baby in a month and the shower's coming up soon.  I let her pick the pattern and colors and I made her a quilt.

Since the little girl is not yet named because the parents are still deciding on names, on the label I just put a generic Baby XXXXX.

All completed on my tiny Brother sewing machine. This was the machine that I got when my Singer went on the fritz and I needed a backup for my backup.  So it's not the best quilting job in the world, but when you're attempting to quilt something this large in such a small throat space, I think it turned out all right.

Measures 52"x52".  So not only is it a good size for a newborn, but also for a toddler to drag around.
