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?

It's a Small World

That saying was never truer! And to attest to that fact, Rachael was the only 6th grader chosen to perform at the Last Blast Castillero Variety Show. Click to hear what she will be playing!!!

Truely Scrumptious

I'm trying to catch up on my outstanding projects and finally got the binding put on this weekend while my kid was sick with the stomach flu, ick. Here is an embroidered/pieced/appliqued quilt that has darling embroidered panels. I've taken a photo of my favorite one up close!

Spring in Paris

It's late spring and I'm trying to teleport myself to the very romantic Paris for a week of museums, gardens and baguettes....poof....not happening. Oh well, instead I'll enjoy this new quilt that I finished that will be a beginning applique class at the shop. Enjoy!!!
