blogger's quilt festival

This is my entry into the quilt festival. I love this quilt because it's the first I've ever completed from start to finish. It was also one of the only quilts I didn't use any precuts on! I also stippled this quilt, which wasn't as horrible as everyone makes it out to be, it's now my go to style for quilting.

It's a small quilt, a bit larger than a crib size and it's backed in one of my favorite fabrics ever, apples & pears by alexander henry. It may not match but it's certainly fun!

star sampler quilt along

It's here! The star sampler quilt along! We're going to be making 16 different star blocks, with no repeats!

Materials
We will be making 12 inch (finished) blocks.
We will be using a layer cake and 3 yards solid but feel free to use whatever fabric you like.
One block per week, posted on Sunday.
There is flickr group here.

At this point I'm not 100% sure of backing and binding yardage but estimating 4 yards backing and 1/2 yard binding.

First block (& all others) will be posted here June 6th!

100th post

And what better way than to celebrate with another finish! This is the quilt I started for my son at the beginning of the blog and was intended for Christmas! And he has no interest in it :p My daughter on the other hand has hers with her whenever I'm not home. This is made with Arcadia, and the back is pieced that way b/c I didn't order enough of the brown so I borrowed from the binding. In the end it all worked out! And if you haven't noticed, I like LOVE Moda and I hate straying from lines. That will change eventually, I'm building up scraps! This is a disappearing 9 patch, easy peasy lemon squeezy!!

Giveaway!

crafty non quilty post

I've seen these a few times here and there and decided to make them. They're bowls made out of records! The little one is my favorite, I may have to put a magnet in the bottom somehow to turn it into a pin magnet. My sister is going to get a set for her wedding later this month (and no, she's not a blog reader!).
