Dear Jane blocks progress ......

I don't know if you noticed it or not but there is 6 more Dear Jane blocks added to my " My Sister's Mirror " Dear Jane wall on my side bar and here they are ! If you do not follow my blog you may not know that Doreen is making these blocks as samples for her Dear Jane classes she is teaching and giving me the samples so that I can have my own Dear Jane quilt. Each DJ block is just so special to me and I just had to share. I just the love the fabrics and these are my first red & green blocks ! The top left block J7 was made with 40 tiny little pieces!

January Calendar Girl block finish

Finished my January Calendar Girl Block ! Doreen and I are making this adorable Calendar girls quilt together and each month we will be posting a picture of the stitchery block and then a picture of the block after we have sewn on our sashing for each one. Doreen is designing a different sashing for each block. We are using a layer cake of Rouenneries Deux by Moda .
Here is my project basket with my fabric and Calendar girl blocks
These are my projects for 2012 ! The basket on the left is JUST TAKES 2 BOM , the next basket is my Dear Jane and then our Calendar girls quilt project.

Autumn Blossom... my second paper pieced quilt

I got this quilt back from the quilter and thought I would share with you my second paper pieced quilt AUTUMN BLOSSOM ..... Thanks to my dear friend Doreen who guided me over the internet with picture tutorials on how to paper piece these amazing quilt blocks. I could have not have made this quilt without her THANK YOU DOREEN ! This quilt was quite a challenge for me but I did it !
Just look at the machine quilting the quilter did on my quilt ! She did this ALL free hand too ! We used black batting and black fabric for the backing.
The fabric I used for this quilt is Jo Morton's CAROLINA! Isn't it just gorgeous fabric ! So fun to work with !

I do not know if you remember my 1st Paper pieced quilt;

GREEN TEA
I am hooked on paper piecing now ;-)

Have a Great weekend everyone !

Starry Eyed Quilt ......Another finish for 2012

Just finished my Starry Eyed Quilt made of all Countdown to Christmas fabric and just had to share it with all of you . As you can see it barely fits on my design wall. I am so glad I made this quilt it was fun fabric and a easy pattern.

This is the fabric I have chosen for my backing and the black with red stripe will be my binding.
Now I will have it ready for Christmas 2012.
