What's next? from Blueberry Patch

1) My mum got herself an iPad. I am pretty proud of her because this is all new technology for her and she is figuring it all out just fine. Of course she needed an iPad cozy. So I made her one. I used a bit of home decor weight fabric that I picked up at the thrift store.

I put a pocket on the back for the cords and stuff. And now her iPad will stay nice and safe when she is trucking it around with her.

2) The Blogger's Quilt Festival is coming up and starts on ...

mini high five from Crazy Mom Quilts

Welcome to finish it up Friday!

It's amazing that I even have a finish to share today. Earlier in the week I was restless. I started at least 4 new projects. I couldn't seem to settle into one particular project-but I did manage to start and finish this mini high five quilt. (The original high five quilt can be found in Sunday Morning Quilts.) It was fun to revisit this pattern. Like all quilts, it took a few unintended turns-mostly with the color selection and placement-and I absolutely LOVE how it turned out.

For the back I used ...

baby steps from Charm About You

**Last chance to enter my giveaway - closes Sat 11th**

**Enter the Le Challenge giveaway here**

I have a small finish. I made this extra bee block for Jan using this tutorial - since I thought she should add an extra column to her quilt top it only seemed fair to lend a hand :)

That's it for now... no more finishes... I'm spending my time kissing these precious feet

And since she's finally sleeping more at night and less in the day I get to make this cutie laugh by being silly all day!

Have a great weekend!

bohemian garden quilt from Crazy Mom Quilts

Welcome to finish it up Friday!

My bohemian garden quilt is done! I put the last few stitches in the binding yesterday afternoon. It was quite a journey from the first fabric pull to completion, but that's the fun part of quilting-watching it all come together. I had a lot of contributions and input from friends along the way. Might be part of the reason that it doesn't look like a typical Amanda quilt. :)

I used a moody olive green fabric on the back that changes color quite a bit in the light. Thanks to my friend (and ...

Finish it up Friday (Posh Enigma) from Because I Sew So

Is it still Friday? I was just about to run out of light to take pictures today as I finished sewing the last stitches of hand binding on my Posh Enigma quilt. I still can't believe I started this quilt over 4 years ago. I knew it wasn't my style any more after leaving it sitting in my closet unfinished for so long. When I first bought the fabric to make the backing for this quilt I didn't get enough. So it sat and sat then one day I had it out of the closet and just ...

Pam's quilt from Crazy Mom Quilts

Welcome to finish it up Friday!

Not a lot of sewing time here this week...but I DID manage to stipple this quilt for my friend Pam. Isn't it beautiful???

I can not stress to you enough just how great she is at piecing. (And picking fabric!) So very inspiring! She did an amazing job and it was a delight to quilt this for her. Flat quilts are much easier to quilt. (Who knew? Ha!) Also, it would be nice if all quilts came pre-basted. What a treat!

Here's the back. I'd be hard pressed to pick ...

It Was A Good Friday! from Canton Village Quilt Works

Hello Everyone,

Friday, I had the pleasure of sewing with wonderful ladies once again in my studio. I am constantly amazed by what the ladies are making and the variety as well. Here are some photos of what happened on Friday...

Love this quilt that Karen was working on, a great boy quilt don't you think?

I was working with Australian fabric... one of my loves! You can find it here on my site.

Donna was working on some pillowcases for charity. Isn't this one cute??

She was also working on this quilt with Christmas Stars.

Hmmm.... there ...

tote bag from Crazy Mom Quilts

Welcome to finish it up Friday!

This is a VERY new finish...less than an hour since I sewed the final stitch. My LQS is holding a tote bag challenge and I was happy to join in. I'm excited to have a cute new (BIG) bag for all the quilt toting I do on a weekly basis. The fabric is Odds and Ends by Julie Comstock. I used a layer cake for the front and back panels, which yielded a lot of leftovers for the scrap bins! I used a few pieces from my stash for the handles and ...

Pillow Talk (Finish it up Friday) from Because I Sew So

I love it when I get to share something on WIP Wednesday and by Finish it up Friday it's done. That doesn't happen very much with quilts so maybe I should tackle some more of these smaller projects. My modern quilt guild is hosting a pillow cover exchange on Saturday as part of our meeting. Anyone who wanted to participate put their name and the colors they like on a piece of paper and entered it into a hat. Then we randomly drew names. Needless to say I don't know much about my partner and with no ...

Fabric: Madrona Road with some solids

Quilted: by me with Aurifil 50 wt in variegated grey

Okay. This is a finish. Madrona Road Baby. This is a guild challenge. Our fabric got lost so we did not have it in time for the big Modern Quilt Madrona Road Challenge but we did it anyway just for the guild. I let the fabric simmer on my sewing table for awhile and then I decided to go with triangles. The first time I made a quilt with ...

pop flower coasters from Charm About You

I added some more bloom to my living room! I made pop flower coasters using this tutorial.

I'm still a novice at applique (can't you tell?!) but it's all experience and I'm pretty sure those zig zags will still do the job, even if they are not at the edges exactly! I really enjoyed the little bit of hand quilting on each one too.

They work really nicely in my living room with my Retro Flowers quilt!

bohemian garden quilt top from Crazy Mom Quilts

Welcome to finish it up Friday! Last week I had a great finishing week. This one has been quite the opposite! Not a finish in sight...just a whole lot of messes. I guess that's the way it goes. :)

I finished my bohemian garden quilt top last week, but never got around to sharing it yet. Many thanks to my friend Pam for naming this one. And many thanks to my friend Brianne for being my quilt holder and for pulling the fabric. The pieces are cut 4 1/2" x 12 1/2". I thought it was a ...

Finish it up Friday 4-12-2013 from Quilty Reese Designs

Yay! Its Friday! This quilt is almost finished. I hope that counts for a finish it up Friday post. I only have to quilt the border and bind it. It should be done this weekend. Which is great since the baby its a gift for, was born Monday. A month early. Hey, I would have been on time if he would have stayed put. :) He is a cute little guy though.

I found the pattern for this quilt in Quiltmaker magazine. All of the blocks were weird sizes though so I redrafted it so the blocks were all 2" finished ...

Finish it up Friday - 3/22/2013 from Quilty Reese Designs

I thought that I would share a quilt today that I had finished a couple months ago. It is called the Hot Chocolate Club. I haven't shared this on my blog yet. I never got around to taking photos because I wanted to take them outside in a snow setting and the timing was never right. A couple weeks ago, I was rather bummed out because I didn't think I would get another chance. However, mother nature choose to give us one more really good snowstorm a couple days ago. My husband was a great help to me ...

kid potential from Crazy Mom Quilts

Welcome to finish it up Friday!

I have a quilt in the March/April issue of Quilty! They called it Kid Potential...but in my mind it will always be 'end of the line'. That's what I called it for the past 2+ years when it was a WIP. :) Whatever the name, it's all about using up those scraps! The finished size is 41" x 56"...so those scraps are pretty tiny. Just the way I like it!

When I was snapping photos, I happened to notice that it looks pretty wonderful with my choose joy pillow! Love ...

where did it go? from Charm About You

the sun was here for a brief couple of days but it's gone again now. Sod's law considering I'd just got some new sunglasses and made a snazzy case for them:

I followed this tutorial and had it made in no time. I love the fabric (comes in other colours that I just love too!).

At least I'm prepared if the sun puts his hat on again ;)

Thanks to all of you that left me comments on my last post (forgive me not replying), I am taking the advice and chugging on. Your kindness is greatly ...

many finishes from Crazy Mom Quilts

Welcome to finish it up Friday! This has been a great finish week for me! And...I don't think I started a single new project either. I've had a banner week!

Last Saturday I spent most of my free time quilting. I was able to get two charity quilts finished-in one day! That felt great.

This quilt top was done and the back was already pieced, so it came together pretty quickly. The top is made from 5" (cut) squares.

I stippled the entire thing with pink thread and machine bound it using a bright pink polka dot ...
