Next Pumpkin Seeds .......

Stars and Stripes Pineapple quilt and 4th of July !!!

                                                       Happy 4th of July Everyone !!!

Just finished sewing my STARS AND STRIPES PINEAPPLE QUILT  together.
It is a free pattern from Jedi Craft Girl   and Gigi's Thimble   and is another wonderful five fat quarter fun quilt pattern . I made mine smaller then the pattern called for.  Mine measures 55 1/2" x 36 1/2".
I just wanted a small quilt this time to hang on my quilt ladder

I fell in love with Gigi's Thimble's quilt and shamefully used the same background and found most of the fabrics online she used. The background is Robert Kaufman ESSEX Yarn dyed linen cotton blend and the color is Chambray

                            Such a beautiful day for the 4th of July Parade in our small town of Grass Valley !

                                                 

Dogs in Sweaters Gift received

Very Happy Recipients  !! 

You can see by the pictures why I made this baby quilt  for this Sweet family expecting their second child next month.  Their 2 Doxies gave it their stamp of approval

Now isn't it what is really all about when we make quilts for others .  

It is the joy of giving to others.

Now we have to wait for baby #2 to arrive !

Happy Sewing !

GARDEN SNAILS QUILT

Hi everyone !

Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day !!

I have been working on my GARDEN SNAILS QUILT  a Pen paper pattern  this last week when I get a chance and just the perfect time of year to make this quilt.

I just finished making all of my snail blocks mostly made of Tula Pink  and Kaffe Fassett fabrics.
Such a fun quilt to make with these fabrics :-D

Here is a closeup of some for the Snails I made

Hoping to finish this quilt top this week and move on to another project soon   ....

I had a wonderful Mothers Day spending time with family and of course Nico. It is hard to believe that he will be 2 in July already. They grow to fast !

For Mother's Day Nico walked up to me and handed  me a gift bag and gave me a kiss. My heart just melted.. In the bag was this painting he painted for me on canvas. I am going to look for a special frame for it so I can display it.  Hoping this is a start of much more art work :-D
