DS quilt top done!

This type of patchwork is so fun to make, and so quick... And I love mixing all the Denyse Schmidt fabrics that coordinate amazingly well even though they are from a few different lines. I still have tons left over which I'll use for the back, and I started another with 9 in squares - and I'll have white trim between the blocks - (these are 12in) I look forward to making yet another later, with her upcoming lines mixed in.

DS fabrics in a DS way

Sweet little 9 patches...

I'm still working through my scraps - there are so many!! I was going to make a simple little baby quilt to put in the shop, but all these fabrics are so pretty, and some are the last that I have, so I think the quilt will become a small throw for me... :)

Churn Dash

Here's the first of many to come - in a few different sizes... I've got a medium sized and little size already done, but not pictured. This one is 13.5 square, I think - the largest of the bunch.

Around the Block top

Here's my version of this pattern - (using mostly "Country Lane" by Bari J. Ackerman)

Center Spin

Here's my latest quilt top following the tutorial for the "Center Spin" quilt from BHG Special Interest Publication "All Small."  I used the lovely "Folk Heart" line of fabric by Rosalie Quinlan.

A little catch up

I've been spending lots of time hand stitching all those appliques down, and now there's a back on it (the all over picnic fabric, which I LOVE) so now the hand quilting begins - stitch in the ditch I think, with a few ties here and there...

And here's a new strip quilt using "It's A Shore Thing" fabric - which I adore! (with a Japanese fabric in the middle)

And a "Dream On" strip quilt as well...

All happy summer fabrics!

Summer is here!

This Union Jack will be my last sewing project for a while, I fear. I had one boy finish kindergarten last week, one boy finish preschool today, and my other boy will turn into a 3rd grader tomorrow at 12:20. Summer is here and that means no more hiding in my sewing room... until August 28th!

The Queen's Diamond Jubilee

What a perfect weekend to make union jacks! (and enjoy the jubilee tea and biscuits that I brought home from our recent trip to London!)

A baby picnic blanket

A couple more rows and appliques to go, and then hours and hours of hand stitching down those appliques!!!

Grandmother's Flower Garden Love

I've spent the last week making this top from Amy Butler's Love line, with the help of a half hexie template. I love it - hubby thinks it's a bit wild, but it's certainly fun. I love "Love." I haven't gotten around to measuring it yet, but it's a smallish throw size... Once it's all finished, I'm not sure if I'll keep it or try to sell it... nice size toddler quilt...
