What I did Last Night!

 

The first picture is at 6:15 pm

The second picture is at 9:17 pm

 

This was made using Charm Squares from Moda's Modern Roses Collection.

 

You can find the FREE pattern on Craftsy

 

I am going to use it to practice my FMQ techniques.

 

Hugs to all.

Almost Done

The binding is on! This has taken awhile but thanks to a great friend who quilted this, it is almost ready to take a trip to my Grand-daughter Ivy.

This was a really fun pattern to make and while the fabric collection "Glamour, Inc" by Benartex
may be hard to find (I started this last year). but the border on the pattern looks like ribbons - it would be great to use on something else too.

Be sure to stay tuned, I have a couple other projects almost complete to post.

Hugs to all and Happy Sewing

Sharon

Looks like blogger won't load my photos - I will try again tomorrow - but go look at all the other cute bags!

Christmas Sewing

It was a quiet Christmas day. After opening gifts with my Gandson, I went home and spent the day sewing.

This is a picture of my Row Quilt, that was an exchange at quilt guild. I started with the row of liberated Ladies and then 7 VERY talented ladies made thwr other rows. Aren't they beautiful.

We are are completing them and will display them at Quilters Day Out in March.

What I have been doing

Here are some photos of my story quilt. Working on the faces has been an experience. Next time I will do the embroidery BEFORE I applique. Just too much fabric to work with.

Test

This is a test

Shhh - It's a SECRET

This is the project I am working on - it is a quilt for the DH for our anniversary.
I made it with Quiltsmart Printed Interfacing - took a class at my LQS.
It is the exploded Lone Star. I am thinking about using the BLUE for the boarder.
What do you think?

My Day - It's All About ME!

Today is MY DAY!

This is my creation - About ME!

I am a transplanted UK (University of Kentucky) Fan! Transplanted for the corn fields of Illinois where my Illini were AWSOME. I still love them, but Basketball here in Lexington has stole my heart.

SEW here it is - I am now a  BIASED UK fan! I need to work some more on the top of the wall hanging - it is too hard to read :(

Look at the cute basketball fabric and the little polka dot buttons. Actually they are the BACK of the buttons - couldn't resist. Here it is closer

AND I found some really cute "swirly" fabric for the back and the binding!

NOW - Go follow the other talented Ladies and Cheer them on!
