Winter Night

This is a little art quilt that came about unintentionally. One day I was sick and slept all day. I tried to sleep that night but couldn't and so I decided to  make some fabric out of my small scraps. I had seen the technique done on a quilt show and it looked like something I might want to do. I sewed and I sewed for hours putting together each small scrap and adding it to others and cutting it and sewing again... I wound up with a piece about 17 inches square after about 6 hours of work.

I hung it up on my quilt board and looked at it for a day and it kept reminding me of a cold windy night so I added a tree and made wind in free motion and it became Winter Night. If you look close you can see how the moon is in a piece of fabric that just happened to be in the right place, and it is the only scrap like it in the whole quilt! Who says things don't happen by accident :)

Fall Applique Sampler

Don and I need another  car so badly and I am trying to help so I decided to make a quilt and sell it. I did my best to make sure my work was good and consistent and I hope this one finds a good home!

Quilts for Kids

I just finished another one :)

Quilts for Kids

Here is the kit I got from the Quilts for Kids organization. I finished the one they gave me and added one from my stash. To get the kit all I had to do was go to their website and send them a note. www.quiltsforkids.org
I enjoyed making them and asked for more :)

Hah!Can you see my mistake? I never noticed until I posted the picture!

Well, too late now. I guess it adds character....lol

In My Basket

In my quiting basket are a lot of projects I am trying to keep up with.

There are the two quilts I am doing for the " Quilts for Kids"project.

The queen basket sampler I am making to sell in my Etsy site.

And then, there is the block for the "Bloggers BOM" I am doing.

So I need to get sewing.....

Four Patch Ladder now has a home

I made the Four Patch Ladder quilt with my sister in law, Dawn in mind. But I didn't want to commit to it until it was complete and I knew that it was going to be right for her.
I think it came out good and I love the colors (which match my house as well). I free hand quilted in my favorite verse on the border, "Search me o'God and know my heart, try me and know my thoughts and see if there be any wicked way in me" from the book of Psalm.

I gave it to her on Sunday and she loves it! She sent me a picture of where she hung it the next day...
