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...

Patriotic Patchwork Pig

Image
Last guild meeting I won a raffle prize and part of the prize was this pattern by Gingerbear called Patchwork Pig.  I just happened to have some donation fabric from my sewing group at church that has patriotic pigs on it.  So...why not piece this together. The blocks are big and easy to piece. I used losts of the donation fabrics including a red and blue vintage print. It was pretty breezy out trying to take pictures.  I could not stop thinking ...when pigs fly....I digress The blocks are quarter square triangles and hst mostly.    I skipped the outside border because it was already pretty large.  I think it turned out pretty cute. It will be donated soon.

Project Quilting Time: 15:1 Bird house

Image
Because I did a lot from my stash last year, and patterns, and even my scrap pile I decided to do the same again this year. I made a plan to finish UFO's and sew what I could from what I had. Most were given to charities and other outreach organizations in need. It made me feel that my skills in quilting were not wasted.  So here we go again............ P.Q. 15.1   hosted by Kim over at Persimon Dreams and prompt creator Trish we are ready to set sail into the new year. First up: Bird House This one is called "Birds on the Berm" 40" x 49" stash scrappy fabrics, straight line quilting domestic  Pattern "Birdsong" by SKW using mini curve ruler adapted size for crib A couple of years ago we put in a berm and some birdhouses in our backyard. This has been endless source of amusement to us. Especially the birds swooping down into the plants and bathing with the moisture on the sedum.  The bird patterns are a bit tricky but they magically come together to ma...

Finish it up Friday and S'more Love Giveaway

Image
  Today I have a quilt top done from my "Goodnight Irene" QAL over at Terry's Treasures HERE .  This was a pretty fast and fun put together. Few issues along the way but now going to piece a back and get this baby quilted. Today...or tomorrow...or soon!!!!   I decided to go 5 x 7 rows and then add the border. I think it will be a pretty good size. I am going to use more fat quarters for the back I think. The mix of prints and colors worked pretty well overall. Indoor pic..sorry! We have had nothing but high winds the last couple of days.  Lovely looking scorched ironing board in the corner and all for your viewing pleasure.:) I will be linking up with  Crazy Mom Quilts Finish it up Friday Now I am going to let you know that yesterday was my 100th post ! whoop whoopie!!!  AND....
