All Because 2 People Fell in Love

The family tree quilt is complete and I have finally taken pictures of it.  I will be giving it to my husband's grandparents this weekend at their 60th Anniversary party.

There are six children and their spouses, twelve grandchildren and their spouses, and four great-grandchildren.

I free motion quilted with a varigated blue thread around the trunk and leaves.  I also reverse appliqued the heart with their names and the year they were married.

I used dark green leaves as a filler and the light green leaves were hand embroidered with the names of all the children.

The quilt is appropriately titled, "All because two people fell in love"

This is my entry into the quilt category in the Ellison Lane Quilts Summer Sewing Contest.

Little Tote

I was getting ready for my first day of school and decided I needed a little bag to carry my snacks in.  You see, I am starting my Master's and getting my License in Professional Counseling this summer. My first class is a four and a half hour class on Saturday mornings.  I am going to need my snacks.

I love Good Fortune by Kate Spain and I especially adore the purple floral print and the dragonflies. This was a quick bag I fashioned from 3 fat quarters. It made the perfect little bag to carry a water bottle, trail mix, and some grapes.

Chevron Stand Mixer Cover

I am proud to announce that my first pattern, the Chevron Stand Mixer Cover is available in several locations.

It is June and that means it is time for the Craftsy Block of the Month!  This month we created two different nine patch blocks.

Block 1 Greek Cross Block:

Block 2 Octagon Block:

All 12 of the blocks together!  It is starting to be big enough for a quilt!
