Sew Happy.Me Sewalong

I participated in a sewalong on a quilting blog this week. You can do it too! Just go to sewhappy.me

I made mine a little larger by adding strips to each side of the front panel, the a smaller strip to the top and bottom. It was a really fun and CUTE project. If you hop over to sewhappy.me you'll see a boy bunny version too!!

2013

I can not believe that I can not manage to get to my blog on a regular basis! Might have something do with ADD! I flit around from one thing to another 18 hours a day. Seems I hardly finish anything these days. I am currently working on no less that 4 projects! ALL need to be done within the month ( if not sooner). We will be welcoming a grandson to the family REAL SOON! SOOOOOOOOO excited!!Thus, the many projects in the works. Car seat cover, nearly done; diaper bag, not cut out yet; baby carrier (sling), thinking about; baby carrier (back pack) , thinking about. Then there's the Giving Quilt Challenge, due March 9th, most of the blocks complete...still need to put it together and QUILT it!!! Thankfully we have this little thing called Mardi Gras down here and the kids are out of school for 3 days. That adds up to a 5 day stretch of days "off". That starts this Saturday. I should be able get all that done, Lord willing. I will do my best to get picture posted and may even manage a tutorial.

Stay tuned!

International Quilt Festival!!!!

I'm going to Houston for the International Quilt Festival! SOOOO excited!!! This will be my first time! I signed up to volunteer at the AAQI booth on Thursday ( come visit me from 8:45am-11:30am). Row S. I am about to make a pile of ATC's to bring. If you have not yet made ATC's (Artist Trading Cards) they are a fun way to use up all those glorious scraps that seem to take over our sewing space. I will take photos as I go and upload them here for you :)

Blog Hop Party!

There is a Blog Hop Party going on!

I wish I ha known about this before it started, but that's what I get for neglecting my blog! I say that I am going to keep up with my blog every day, but I don't have an action plan to do so.  I have friends who are faithful blogers. How do you do it? Help me!

Anyway, if you want to join in on the fun just go here

Heart Potholder

This was a super easy project! It is a lage pot holder (starts with 12" square). Your fingers and thumb slip into the "cake" pockets!!

This was our Christmas Tree this year!

This is a section of the 1st Christmas Stocking I made using the traditional crazy quilt method. It's does by hand from start to finish. It takes many many hours to make one of these. To date I have completed three large stocking and one mini stocking. Considering they take on an average of 100 hours each to complete, I reserve them for VERY Special people. So far each one is unique. This one has a prominent Christmas Tree. Others had a Santa face with full beard and a Madonna and Child. I currently have one in the works, but I'm not to the embroidery stage yet.
