Catching Up...

I've a few photos to show you. 

This is the blanket I made for Manley (sister Julie's Golden)...measures about 28 x 40...same on both sides.

 See what I did on his blanket?  I free-motion wrote his name.   Can you see it?

Here's the blanket for Kisa (sister Julie's cat)

I don't think I ever posted a photo of this quilt...maybe just a sneak peek before?  Well, here it is...pretty in pink.  For Joyce to give her granddaughter, Alyssa.

Finished this one, too.   Fabric is Coco Express by Jo Morton. 

I received these photos this weekend...

Conlan - Mr. All Around Flag Football player.

 

 Jasmine & Conlan.

Conlan - I love black & white photos!

Jasmine - stunning.

I feel much better after doing nothing all day.  I am now ready to take on the work week.  (well, sort of)

I hope you all have a great week!

What Kept Me From Going Crazy!

I am so thankful that I have

something that keeps me busy!

Here are a few sneak peeks

of what I did over my 4 day

weekend with no computer.

Not yet time to write a proper post.

Perhaps tomorrow.

Last Night...

I think this is the best Friday Night Sew-in I have had!  I actually accomplished a lot!  (Helped that the one show I wanted to watch on tv was not on!)  Here is the 'diggers & dozers' quilt top that I finished piecing.  It still needs borders...measures about 50x52" right now.

Also.  I got these borders put together last night, though I didn't sew them on until this morning. 

The tiny border (1/4") is a pale blue with pink rosebuds.  (Thanks, Janer!)  Which, by the way, is what I am using for the backing fabric.  So, I thought I would add a special touch to the front with it.  Only so much pink one can handle.  Not sure if you can tell, but the inside edge is not sewn down.  I took 1" strips of fabric, sewed them together (end to end), folded/ironed in half, then sewed to the outside edges of the quilt top all the way around.  Like one would do a regular border.  Then, I sewed  the wider pink border on top of it.  Just gives it a little something...and breaks up all that pink!  I like it.  

Hope you're having a great Saturday!

Pink Square in Square...

Here's what I did with the pink fabrics.
I put this together last night and today.

Erin, over at Why Not Sew? had 

organized a small charm swap.

 We swapped pink charms (5"). 

I thought and pondered and deliberated...

wanted to get the most out of my charms.

I finally decided on this design...

simple square in square blocks.

I used 36 charms with

Kona solids in carnation,

bright pink, and pink.

I mostly used the solids as 
contrasting values with the charms.

I may add a small border.

Measures about 51" square right now.

Easy peasy.

Pretty in Pink, indeed!
