oops

I won a copy of fun size quilts a while ago and finally decided which mini to make. As you can see I made a little mistake. The quilt is designed by Jeni Baker and will be gorgeous when I get it right.

New Book, new project

Best book ever! Not only does it have great projects in different sizes, for each block it has what is needed for 1 block. As someone who always looks for a smaller option on nearly every thing I see I love this.

2 new projects

What do you do when you are busy at work with little time to sew. Start new projects of course! The top photo is a tutorial for a bear paw block made easy from Missouri star quilt co.

No idea what setting I will use.

Last blocks

I have finished my vice versa BOM blocks. Now I need to decide if I will do the setting given or an easier simple one with sashing.

I saw this fabric at spotlight and had to make my daughter a cushion for her birthday ( I made it in December but forgot to blog about it. She loves dream catchers. I put an enclosed zipper in the back using this tutorial from s.o.t.a.k handmade.

And now for something completely different

I made a valentines mini quilt. I don't usually do any valentines day things. I also used pinks and oranges. NOT my usual colours. And I love it. I told my husband I made it for him but it is to go on my sewing room wall. We are racing 18kms in an outrigger canoe on Valentines day. How romantic. We are not even in the same boat! The tutorial is by Ivete from Gotham Quilts. I found it through Amy Friends, During Quiet time blog. Here is the link to the blog post with the link! Note to self- solid is prima homespun, Thistle from spotlight.

Vice Versa BOM

I finished another month of the vice versa BOM at GenXQuilters. Only 2 months to go
