More Boom Blocks

I must be feeling the Boom South love. These 3 are for the south group.

For Nancia. She sent the blue fabric. I just love it.


This one is for Leann. She also sent the blue fabric. When I opened up her envelope I was so happy I immediately went to my teal and brown. It was a perfect match!


This little gem is for Difergie. She sent the fabric with the small circles, and I'm just thrilled that I had matching fabric. I wanted to pull out the colors in it since there were quite a few. I tried to pull out the pink, blue, browns and yellow.

So he got a pillow..

The wife got the apron as a hostess gift. Her dear husband, another good friend of ours has his birthday on June 10. His wife loves the Broncos, and he loves the San Fransisco 49ers. The SF49ers happen to be my favorite team too. He's not a huge fan of aprons, and I wanted to do something nice for his birthday but not an apron. I found some pillow panels that I've had for ages. My father gave me the panels before he died. Dad died in 2007, and I don't honestly remember when Dad gave me the panels. I knew our friend would appreciate something with the 9ers.

This is the pillow I made. My DH took it into work and gave it to our friend there. Apparently it sat proudly on his desk all day.

Week 23: June 5-11, 2011

My sewing space is cluttered again. Gotta take some time to clean it, but I know that I'll just clutter it up again in a matter of days. Seems that I can't work well when everything is in perfect order. Must be my creative side: I'm an Aquarius after all.

This week, lets play around with our star signs or our Zodiac sign. Do you fit your Zodiac sign? You can pick do do your Zodiac sign or Chinese Zodiac.

Fairy Dreaming - Original Miniature Quilt

*squealing with excitement*
It's DONE!! Ready!! I'm so thrilled. I've been holding back from you all, but I've published my first pattern. It's for a miniature quilt or wall hanging, measuring approx 15" square. If you want to add other borders that can make it larger.

It's called Fairy Dreaming.
It comes as a PDF file (Printed patterns will be available later) and it's 6 pages long. It's for Fusible Applique. There are two sizes for the fairy and birds, and the images have been reversed, so your fairy/birds can face opposite directions.



The price for the pattern is $6.50.
The pattern will be emailed to you (At your PayPal email unless otherwise specified) within 24 hours of receipt of payment. I'm so thrilled to finally be able to offer this pattern.

I've been a very busy girl, and there are 6 other patterns on their way. I hope you enjoy the pattern!

And if you'd like me to send you an embellishment kit for $1.50 plus 1.50 shipping
and handling (consisting of beads and lace), I can do that too.

All the proceeds from purchase of this pattern will go to my daughters education! Hubby and I are saving for her college.

Received 3 Boom Blocks

All from Group North. I love them. What a great bunch of talented ladies. My quilt is going to be amazing. :) Thank you all so much.

This one is from Pattis47. Isn't it beautiful?


Ok, be jealous. This one is from paintmejudy.


And this beauty is my second from Moonrise.

I'm officially Insane.

I'm doing it. Finally figured out a use for all my 1" squares that I've been saving. I'm going to make a miniature quilt (maybe bigger, I have a ton of 1" squares). Each of the finished hexagons is 3/8"!!

I have over 50 of these basted, but wanted to share my first flower with everyone!

Week 22: The "Famous" Quilt Top Done

Top is complete, I just started hand quilting it. My mom introduced me to the music of Janis Joplin when I was really small, and I still love her music today! I plan on hand quilting it with titles of her songs.

It's sandwiched, pinned and ready for hand quilting. Hopefully I finish the entire thing by the end of the summer. Maybe when I have a bit more time I'll just hand quilt it.





It was inspired by a pattern by Chantal Pare
