Raffle quilt & Chili cook off

 I finally finished these blocks that I won in the Dallas Modern Quilt Guild raffle a couple of years back. We were all to use inaugural QuiltCon colors, and all the blocks were raffled to four or five winners. This is my finished. Quilt as you go was not as easy as I thought it was. I find it hard to align and make the sashes meet. But then again these are one inch sashes! I feel confident in my color choices and quilting. I love how it turned out and gave it to my mother in law for her 70th birthday in January. These blocks were made by different DMQG members, whom I will never know who's which, but they are all loved!

Guess who won the church chili cook off? Me! I was very surprised with the win and received so many compliments! This stick to your ribs recipe is a keeper!


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!

Eli's baby quilt

 I made a quilt in time for my niece's baby shower. I started Tuesday night, skipped Wednesday due to thunderstorms and a tornado watch, did a bit Thursday night, stayed up to 4am Saturday (sweet tea) and finished Saturday in time for a 1:00 party.

The left border is quilted in rows,the top row in chevrons, the right side in a diamonds pattern, and the bottom is quilted in loops. The center block is meandered wildly, and the name in felt. The backing is pieced in  strips and big blocks from the Pooches and Pickups line/
