It's been a busy month!

The kids are back in school and while I was hoping to get more free time, that just hasn't happened. I'm doing the yearbook again for Sarah's school and now will be doing the wardrobe for the band for Rachael's school. Why can't I learn to say "No?" I'm also doing more at the shop which definitely keeps me busy and since that is my happy place, at least I'm relatively balanced! Ha Ha. I have managed to finish two quilt. The first "Civil War Birds" is made from my scraps and the second is the "Henrietta Whiskers" which is the finished BOM from Bunnyhill Designs. I have been working on this one as the patterns were published each month and now it's done!

Snowman Square dance

We always get our Christmas fabrics in July and here is another kit sample I put together for the store. This was definitely one of my favorites and it is quilted with cute snowflakes. Enjoy!

Carolina Comforts

I finished this quilt a few weeks ago for the shop and just have been sooooo busy that I forgot to post it on my blog. I hope you like it! It is called Carolina Comforts and features plaids and civil war reproduction fabrics.

Jolly Snowmen

Here is another holiday quilt finished for the shop. It was really easy because it has a center panel and then appliqued holly leaves on the side and pieced top and bottom borders. That will be the last quilt I finish before we leave for vacation. I will try to post updates on my blog from our vacation on the road.

Christmas in July

OK, well end of June anyways...At the shop we always get the bulk of our holiday fabrics in July, thus the title Christmas in July. I went to Michaels this past weekend expecting to see a big Fourth of July display and lo and behold, acorns, fall leaves and lots of other fall decor. I couldn't believe it...simply ridiculous. So I guess it is with equal ridiculousness that I have finished a Christmas quilt filled with jolly snowmen. This is the last Bunny Hill pattern/kit that I have lying around. Now on to other things. Enjoy!

Sunbonnet Sues for Baby

Just finished another darling sample for the store. This whipped up quickly and came out really, really cute. The pattern is called Contradance and the fabric is from Lecien which is a Japanese fabric distributor. The pattern has Sunbonnet Sue's on it with alphabet letters and flowers.

Rachael the Baker!

On Friday my daughter, who is now officially a 7th grader, decided to make a cake allllll byyyyy herself!!!!!!! Here is the result! Isn't it cute and scrumptious looking?
