baby season

 New babies mean new quilts. This boy  quilt with bow ties was so quick to make. I started before going on a dinner date (Wednesday Enchilada special at El Fenix of course!) and completed it by 1 a.m. Yes I am at work and barely working. So sleepy. I cut 4 10.5 inch squares (2 print 2 solid) Made HSTs and rearranged to make hour glass blocks. I added 2 one inch ties to complete. Having four different prints would have been nice but who had time for that?! I sandwiched it with a scrappy backing, mainly baby blue solid with some green gingham.  This one is for my freshman's teacher. It is her first baby and her last week in Texas.

 I stipple quilted it and added binding, WHALES! So cute.

My daughter has had her BF since sixth grade. They are both in their early twenties now, and mommies of boys who are besties! I was so excited to hear she was having a baby girl. I have always been one to not want to know the gender but those mint green and yellow gifts gotta go! This one is part modern part vintage. The jelly roll stripes are from Moda- Aneela Hoey Hello Petal.I paired four blocks with a vintage scrappy border.

Baby quilt

I decided to give garage sale on Facebook one try, and I sold one quilt. I have yet to make enough quilts to sell on Etsy so this was a fast way to make some cash. I made the second one to save for a future sell.

50 quilt

I surprised my SIL with a quilt for her 50th. As you can see, it is meant just for her!

I finished up quilting and binding on some quilts for a friend, Extra Christmas money!I love the striped binding!

Moda Candy Stars

Are you in love with Moda Candy too? Does your mouth water as you peel off the wrapper!? I love these pretty littles. I have been known to grab one or two as I check out of quilt stores, as they are usually at the counter, otherwise known as in the sucker isle, like when you're at the store and see the sweets as you're paying and you grab one as you are about to pay. Kind of like that but better!

2.5 inches of fun!

A LITTLE CAN GO A LONG WAY!

Adding a second border for a snuggle size.

Challenges

Does your quilt guild give you challenges? Mine does and it inspires me to accomplish a project in full since deadlines loom. Here are a couple of mine, surely no prize winners but none the less, sewing makes me happy.

Abuelita

A couple of weeks ago I finished my Granny Squares quilt. Kate Spain's Fandango was my first jelly roll. Now I am rolling in rolls.  This was an easy pattern to follow but not always do I sew a perfect .25 inch seam. But no doubt, I love the layout of Granny Squares so I think I will make another soon.
