Think Big cushion

I bought a copy of the Think Big book by Amy Ellis, who blogs at Amy's Creative Side, a while ago and finally finished this cushion. The book is great. I love that it has a table with what you need for 1 block so you can make any size project. I have also made a table runner from the book which is waiting to be quilted. The fabric in the cushion is the same as my zebra!

Modern Maples place mat

I couldn't resist making more modern maples blocks. I made one place mat but will make more  to match it and this runner occasionally when I feel like making this block.

I have already cut into some of the fabric, not to make on of the things in the box but to make something dog gone cute!

Dog Gone Cute Quilt Along

Lorna from sew fresh quilts is having a quilt along which is the cutest ever. I cant resist. I have to be involved in this quiltalong. I know there will be 2 weeks in September when I wont be sewing but I think I can still get something done by October. I just love this little block! Click on the button at the side to look!

???Zebra

I decided to go a little wild with the Zebra. I love him but general consensus is that he looks more like a donkey. I think I will add thin borders and turn him into a mini, The block is a freebie from sew fresh quilts. She is doing a quiltalong next month of dog gone quilt which looks great. I wont be able to do it but might make the quilt or maybe a pillow for my nieces.

Linking to sew fresh quilts

Pandamonium quilted

I wasn't sure how to quilt this so I looked at quilts made by Lorna of Sew Fresh Quilts. I love her quilts and she does a lot of wavy line quilting so that's what I did. I love how it turned out. I am now making a Zebra block. You should see the fabric I am using!

A pillow case

I made this pillow case for a friends daughter. I love how easy and quick this is. I have made one before but used the tutorial by the crafty gemini as I couldn't remember exactly what to do. I love how this pattern isn't directional so the pillowcase looks good on its side. I made a really cute wombat one which I love but the wombats are sideways when the pillow is the right way
