Spoolie and Yellow Brick Road

I'm working on several projects at the same time and I actually don't like to do that. I'm sorta compulsive about starting and finishing one project at a time, however, my crazy schedule does not allow me to always do that. I got this wonderful pattern from one of our friends and teachers at PQ, Beth Upstill, to make this spoolie bird. I loved it sooo much. I bought a vintage spool from Bunny Hill and made this sweet project. Thanks to Beth for the wonderful wool.

For the store I finished a sweet Yellow Brick Road from a line of fabric called Hopscotch. I finished the binding today and it will be hanging in the store. The fabric has sweet little birdies on it. Hum, do I see a trend????

Ladies of the Sea is a winner!

Well everyone, I'm proud to say that the quilt Ladies of the Sea took third place in the category of Large-Applique! I'm really very happy and can't wait to give it to my father. My parents will be visiting in a few weeks and the big unveiling will occur.

Boo!!!

I took a little break from quilting this week after the surge to get samples done for the store and worked on a little Halloween project that I'm going to make several of. It is Halloween cards with little bubbles in them filled with M&Ms. Isn't it cute?

Look what my Daddy made!!!!!!

My father makes wonderful items out of wood and I wanted a stickle holder. Stickles are glitter paints that come in little plastic bottles. I asked my father to make one for me and of course he went way overboard and made the most amazing item. It has three drawers that slide out and handles on the sides for carrying. Isn't it great?

Is it Fall Yet???

I keep looking out the window at the tree in front of my house for any signs of the leaves turning color, but alas no and with our close to 100 degree heat, I'm guessing fall is a ways away. We did have some rain last night, but even that was a warm rain. Well I guess I'll just have to wait. In the meantime, I did finish a darling quilt for the shop called Pumpkins and Spice and it is certainly help get me in the mood for fall.

I'm ramping up again....

Well I have two more quilts finished. One is quilted and ready to be hung at the store. It is Over Easy with yellows, oranges and greens. The second one is called Sweet Days and features a monthly embroidery block that I started while on our vacation this past July.
