Farmers Market Basket top is a finish
This was the EASIEST quilt to make and SO much fun .
Just look at these adorable fabrics ! The only fabric I used to make this quilt was 1 layer cake of Farmers Market by Brannock & Patek . What I really liked about this pattern was that there was very little waste of fabric . I purchased my backing fabric yesterday so once I have that prepared it is ready to send to the quilter.
GOOD NEWS.............. My FQ of the red polka dot fabric arrived yesterday so I am hoping to finish sewing my Peppermint Place quilt together today !

Farmer's Market Basket quilt
Hi
What did everyone do this weekend ?
Well............... I started a New quilt that has been on my " To DO " list for sometime
This quilt is called HIGH FASHION but I call my quilt " FARMERS MARKET BASKETS "
I started this quilt Saturday morning only using 1 layer cake of Farmer's Market by Brannock & Patek and I am almost ready to sew it together .
I got this pattern from this book More Layer Cake , Jelly Rolls & Charm Quilts. I was ready for a quick and easy quilt after Peppermint place.
Now you are probably thinking HMMM What happen to Peppermint place ? Did she finish it ?
That is a big nope :-( I was starting to sew my borders on this quilt & call it a finish but I made a BOO BOO !
Can you see the red polka dot triangle to the far left near the birdhouse. Well I cut it wrong DARN IT ! SO I called the quilt shop and ordered a FQ of that fabric ( so glad they still had the fabric ) & once it gets here I can sew this quilt together :-D
So my plans are to have 2 finished quilts this week . What a great feeling :-D
Of course I have my sewing supervisor to keep me company !

PEPPERMINT PLACE CLOSER TO BEING DONE
Hi
You have probably been wondering where I have been so I thought I would share my progress on Peppermint Place
I finished all of the applique and have sewn the center all together
For the last 2 days I have been working on the peppermint borders
And this is what I have to show for the last 2 days. There are 8 strips here and I finished sewing the green & beige borders on 4 of them . These blocks were like putting a puzzle together but I did it Yeahhhh!
As you can see by the pattern cover I am very close to finishing . 4 little peppermint candies still need to be pieced , one for each corner , the 3 red triangles for the border and the last green border. I was hoping to have this quilt done this week but we will see. I am getting so close I can taste it ;-)
Thanks for stopping by !

Hi
Thought I might show you my progress on my Peppermint Place quilt.
I am working on the applique for the 4 large background blocks right now , 2 down 2 to go ! Then the only applique I have left to make is the birds on the branch with stockings in each corner . The plan is to then to invisible machine applique everything at one time , do any embroidery that needs to be finished and then sew it together :-D
HAVE A GREAT WEDNESDAY !

Peppermint Place Quilt project Christmas in July
Hi
Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July !
After finishing my Willow Weave quilt I decided it was time to look for my next quilt project and there it was ................ PEPPERMINT PLACE 6 month BOM !! PERFECT!
For you that follow my blog you may remember this was a gift that was given to me by Doreen for my B-day / Christmas present . When I received my first block in January I made it right away and then other projects came up and it just sat. Meanwhile every month I would receive another block to make. I plan on finishing this UFO this month so that I can enjoy it for Christmas .
ISN'T THIS JUST THE CUTEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January I made Block #1 " St. Nick's Nest "
Tuesday I made Block #2 " Snowbirds Welcome "
Wednesday I made Block # 3 " All Decked out "
I still need to finish the machine applique & embroidery on
Thursday I cut out all of my pieces for block # 4 " Sweet Treats "
and found that I was short on the fabric for the perch. I contacted the
shop & they are mailing me that fabric :-D
