WIP Wed - finish

I finished this little "Streak of Sunshine" quilt for our local chapter of Lincoln Quilts for Kids charity that gives quilts to kids in local hospitals.  I usually do bright but I had these soft cute peace sign prints in pink and green so went for it.

Not great photos but I had to snap these before I gave it away. Hopefully it is on its way to help comfort a sick child. 

Linking up to WIP Wed with Lee @Freshly Pieced and Let's Bee social with Lorna @ SewFreshQuilts

This is very pretty - and I love the way the circles in the print seem to float there, almost like a secondary design.

My turn on the New Blogger Blog Hop

Image
It is my turn this week on the  New Blogger Blog Hop   sponsored by Beth at Plum and June.  Since joining this Blog Hop I have learned so much and am still in the process of making everything better. I have added an About me page HERE  (quilty pics) and a couple bits about why I started my blog. More quilty pics Quilt Gallery .  In a nutshell, it is a tribute to my Mom and all the quilty-ness and crafty-ness I grew up with. My Mother was very creative in so many ways.  I am one of 10 children and so she 'had' to be creative and know how to make things from not much.  1. resin on photo keychain 2. reading a yard of books 3.magnet note holder 4. building a shed 5. rag rug 6,7,8. earring making 9,10. bracelet making 11. quilted letters tote 12. doll making 13. hand puppets 14. shower table of food 15. quilted zipper bags 16. frame purse Crafty things I love: Above are a few things I have dabbled with in the last couple of year...

2019 Online Quilters Meet and Greet

Image
I am so excited to be taking part in the 2019 Online Quilters Meet and Greet organized by Victoriana Quilt Designs! Welcome Welcome Welcome ~~~~~~~~~ My name is Kris and I have been quilting for quite a few years. I started pretty young, learning from my mom.  When she passed away I was not sure I wanted to continue to quilt and then......I did.  I made a portrait quilt of her and you can read about it  HERE Over the past few years since, I have jumped into trying and finding my way. One of favorite trys was this scrap quilt called Triumphal Arches.  It was made of random scraps fitted with arch shapes. I used all sort of colors and then light to dark background scraps. It was so much fun to make. You can read about it  HERE Please take some times to visit the others on the Quilters Meet and Greet by clicking on the Logo up top  and click on the logo below to enter the giveaway.  Thanks for stopping by! Good luck to yo...

in Green Pastures

Image
A while ago I started a mini scrap quilt of some of my favorite (all time)pieces of black and white fabrics. I wanted to use an ombre fabric to go from lightest yellow to dark green along with the lightest black and whites down to darker. I did this with a recent challenge piece for an art exhibition that is up now. (more on that in another post) When I started laying the scrap squares out I knew I needed a bit of extra pooch to the yellow/greens. I cut small squares of batting so in those squares there is extra thick batting. With the quilting in each square it makes the solids pop up a bit.   I was trying to take a photo with the sunlight not cooperating but I think you get the idea. It's subtle. I like the idea of extra poof in areas.  I am just happy I finally got it out and finished the facing on it so that I could take some quick pics.  Again the sunlight was not with me but it is sort of fitting anyway.  This one I called "in green pastures"  24"x 24...

Scrappy Corner bits and a Pieced Heart

Image
First up, my scrappy corner bits quilt is done. I love how the different color solid square background adds interest to all the scrappy rainbow bits.  Up close of my happy ...um design element! can you tell what I did?  My pics today were either too sunny or too dark. Oh well, this quilt makes me happy.  All the colored triangle bits are left over (throw-away) binding cut offs.  40 x 46 inches approx.  diagonal straight line quilting through each block ...and one of my stash backings I have had for a while. Colors in it are perfect! So fun! Next up is a quilt I made for a graduating h.s. great niece. I have no idea what she will think. This is the "Piece and Love" quilt by The Cloth Parcel 70" x 81" I ordered the kit for this a while ago from Craftsy..when they 'were' Craftsy. I think the colors are fun and modern. I am hoping that will appeal to my g.Niece. Also she is planning to go into some kind of healthcare so I think she might like this.  The heart p...
