Valentines Day or Xmas?

Finished 2 Xmas Tree skirts this weekend! I know, not very valentinesish. Holly has 2 wedding showers coming up and thought these would make great shower gifts since she loved hers so much from me. So I got these 2 tops done. All ready now for quilting. (Oh and can you see I had some help!)

Also finished this birthday block for a friend. Our group of friends decided to make blocks for everyones birthday. So this was the first birthday. I hope she likes it!

Holiday Time!

Some holiday gifts I've finished. No - it isn't a winter coat for Chloe! Silly Girl! But a tree skirt for Holly's wedding shower today! Got it finished in the nick of time.


And did some more playing with border fabrics. This time - Halloween! All these came from the same piece of fabric. Isn't it cool how different they all look!

OK, off to finish cakes for today, and then to get some sleep!

A top finish!

I got a top done today! This will be a Christmas Tree Skirt for Holly! I just have to get it quilted and bound by Aug 1st. And yes you recognize it - it is Tazzie's wonderful design! I got this fabric in Delaware while visiting mom!

Christmas Quilt

I never got a chance to show you the xmas quilt I made this year. I had guild last night so got some friends to hold my quilts up! I made this top at camp this fall and got it quilted and bound in time for xmas this year! (The center portion of squares was a panel).


And from the scraps I made these 2 mini quilts for our silent auction at our guild quilt show next fall.
And remember the Hugs and Kisses from the Cat quilt I made my friend for xmas? I made this mini quilt for the auction also!

The Cat

Look at what I got finished! I was browsing through a Christmas Quilt Book a few months ago and saw this pattern for a stuffed cat. Now don't you think the Hugs and Kisses quilt from The Cat needs a cat?! So this is going with the quilt and pillowcases!

Snowmen and Pigs

I'm still working on Christmas presents. I got 2 more snowmen done - 4 more to go!

And I made a stuffed pig for a friend from some 30's crumbs! I love how it turned out! I still have more to go. It is a busy, busy year for gifts!

A few more xmas gifts - 6 to go!

I"m making these for xmas gifts. I've got these 2 done, 6 more to go! It is slow going these days still - working long hours and then I'm just too tired to care and work on them at night. Otherwise just nothing new to share. Life is kind of boring here!

What will it be?

I continue on with the xmas theme. I"m working on 8 more very small wall hangings for xmas gifts - but those aren't far enough to share yet. So I thought I would give you a peak at my latest start for xmas. But this one will be for me. I won't tell yet what it will be, but my mom bought me the pattern for xmas last year, and I got this fabric for it this summer. It is going to be soooo cool! I got all the pieces cut out, so this is all I have to share at this point - just stay tuned!

One xmas gift done

I made a small bit of progress! I got a xmas gift done (and one for me)! I found if I make something I like for a gift, it is better to make 2 right away. Otherwise I never go back and make one for me. Aren't they cute!

Work has kept me quiet lately. My boss has been joking I"ve been putting in 22 hour days - but he knows that isn't too far off! So whenever a new dept comes asking for my time he says as long as it fits in the 2 unused hours of my day! So that gives you a bit of an idea on why I"ve been so "quiet" lately!
