Kitty


So I was gathering some quilt tops and tote bags to bring to Yankee Quilter for their Holiday Gift Bazaar tomorrow (Sunday Nov. 22) and look who found the quilts mere moments after they were dropped on the chair?

Lily of course. there has not been a quilt made that Lily does not think is hers. She just climbs right up, snuggles in and purrs.

Too cute!

The Holiday Gift Bazaar sounds like fun. Because I am bringing them some patterns and totes, quilt tops... I get in early! It's like legal cheating!
This is one of the tops I am bringing in- it's so pretty! It is made from our Floral Fandango pattern.


If it doesn't sell, I may have to finish it myself- It will look great in my kitchen next spring!

Happy quilting!

Hearts



So, I am working on a new pattern. One with hearts.



I figure the best way to start is to just start cutting. I had already drawn the design and wrote the directions, so now I just needed to go to my stash and try it out. See how it looked in fabric.



Found some cute white and pink fabric in my stash that would make a nice background. Then on to the pinks. I am going to try this one in several pink variations- one with pinks and orange; one with pink and green and one more with reds. See which one really thrills me.




Here are the first 2 heart blocks. I would have made another one, but I am out of fusible stuff! But that is
easy to fix. I like the stitching on the striped one- that was fun.


Happy quilting
