A Charming Idea

half finished.
I need to stitch one more "Sweet" charm
pack together to finish my hexagon baby/small wall quilt.

I used soft flannel on the back and cross stitched all the seams.

Finally Finished

A Tisket a Tasket block #3 from
Anne at Bunny Hill Designs
The wool looks even softer before it is stitched down.

Anne's cute bunny!

I don't know why it took me so long to finish, springtime yard work and some organizing could be it. Oh if I could just sew all day everyday!!

Looking for Spring ...

my blog and pictures look so wintery, it's been cold here in the Northeast.

Oh here it is

I finally found some pansies at Lowes, and today is the last day my kids can go snowboarding at their local mountain..... warmer temperatures must be on the way.

Wool Garden #4

from Farmhouse Woolens finished.

Pictures don't do justice to how pretty and the beautiful colors and texture of the wools are.

A Snow Storm and some Charming ideas..

Wow we had a storm today,

snow under the roof on the patio.

Those little wire fences keep 190lbs.

of 2 labs out of my gardens.

That's how sweet they are.

Snow days are nice because I get to sew a lot!!!


This is what I am going to do with my 2 "Woodland Bloom" charm packs.
I should have 4 sections like this for a nice size quilt.


I've been practicing my machine stippling and I'm feeling a little better about it.

I'm using 2 Mary E. charm packs for this beach quilt, that my husband named "Dots" and was inspired by an Idea I saw on Monica's blog, thank you Monica.

I'm using 2 "Sweet" charm packs and hand stitching hexagons backed with flannel for a baby quilt.

I am cross stitching the seams on the back, if I like the way this turns out I may make a full size quilt like this. It's a great take along project.

Ragged Red Squares

Inspired by Crazy Mom Quilts. I found the inspiration for this quilt on Amanda's blog one evening and woke up the next morning thinking about creating one for myself. It was lots of fun and I would make another.

I have never made a quilt like this before, raw edges exposed.....

I didn't worry about placement of any of the squares on the back ~ didn't even look until it was all sewn together *randomness* and I like it.

I named this quilt Happy Valentine's Day, but ran out of time on Valentine's Day to post about it.

I machine pieced and hand quilted all my blocks before I sewed them together.

Then placed them on my temporary design wall.

Sewed binding strips to cover all the seams on the back.

Good thing I love hand sewing ; )

I was so afraid when I washed and dried, it would all fall apart, it stayed together fine.
