Another Quilt Finished

I have finished yet another quilt. This time it was commissioned by a friend of mine for a friend of hers. She ordered it in November, but said she was not in a hurry for it, it's a good thing since it took me until yesterday to finish it. But it turned out beautifully.


All it is, is just scraps of fabrics sewn together and then quilted. The back is finished with a sage green chenille. I then bound it with a sage green and cream polka dot fabric.



Since it was a gift, I decided to gift wrap it for her and made a coordinating gift card for it, using the binding fabric and a cute pink button. She is taking it to her friend this weekend. I hope she likes it.

Valentine Hearts Quilt Finished...

FINALLY!! I pieced this quilt together last January(2008) thinking that I would have it finished for Valentine's of 2008. And it has sat pieced since then. It would have been done last week except that when I washed it some of the hearts frayed past the stitching..grrr!

So I had to go around all the hearts again! I think this is a fun quilt but not sure how much I love the frayed look. But my little 5 1/2 year old valentine LOVES it. So I guess that it all that matters. Plus the entire quilt including the back was from my stash.

I also get to count this as a completed WISP for February.

Memory Game is...


Finished!! I can't believe that it took me so long to finish this fun little game. I started when Rachael was 3 1/2(she's now 5 1/2). I got this ideas from Amy at Happythings and thoght it was a great way to use up some of my novelty fabric stash. Yes this is all from my stash.

I am really please how it turned out. The "cards" are approximately 4x5 and I sandwhiched batting in between to make them soft. I also made a cute drawstring bag to hold the little darlings. Now my 7 month old and my daughter can both play with this. Instead of it collecting dust in my sewing room. And I get to add this to my WISPS for 2009 completed list.

Have a happy day!

January WISP Completed


I finally finished this quilt. I think I started it back in the beginning of summer. This was inspired by Amanda's house of girls quilt. I used only fabric from my stash with the exception of the back which is pink chenille. The quilt measures 42x45. I really enjoyed this method of quilt making. All I did was take pieces of fabric and sew them together, until I had a quilt. I will definitely be making this type of quilt again.
