Stop The Presses!

Oh no! Stop the presses! I have had to do a total "360" on my BFF's wedding quilt! Now I am going to use these:

I'll explain more later because I got to get sewing. The wedding is this weekend!

Until Next Time....Happy Quilting!

My Greatest Accomplishment

Three years ago today, I achieved my greatest accomplishment in life! After a 10 years struggle, I gave birth to the sweetest little angel. This was the day that changed our lives forever.

So this weekend, with the love of our family and friends, we celebrated my greatest accomplishment and my greatest gift to the world.

No matter where I go or what I achieve, he will always be my greatest accomplishment!

Happy Birthday to my Little Person! Mommy loves you!

Until Next Time....Happy Quilting!

Do You See The Problem?

Time is just flying by! How is it already August 6th? This is where my problems begin.

1. I need to decide on my Girls' Club Project for August.
2. I need to make a wedding gift for my BFF who has moved up her wedding date! They have decided to get married before her fiance deploys again to Iraq. The problem is that the new wedding date is August 13, 2009!

3. What do I make for her in a short amount of time? She is very traditional and doesn't like bold colors. Well that just eliminates half of my fabric stash! Do you see the problem?

So after digging around, here is what I am going to use.

The colors in this fabric line will match everything in her house. Of course, I will thrown in a couple of fabrics that will match MY house just to be on the safe side!

So here is my August Charming Girls' Quilt Club project: a wedding quilt for my BFF that is traditional in nature but suits my style.

I am not sure what I am going to do, but check back soon (before the 13th) to see how it turns out.

Until Next Time....Happy Quilting!

A Closer Look

Just as in life, the sun did come out and shine this weekend. We took advantage of the beautiful (although very humid) weather by playing outside. I was also able to take some better photos of my Pinwheel Pirouette Quilt.

Here is a closer look at my quilt:

I hope that the sun is shining in your corner of the world!

Until Next Time....Happy Quilting!

My Little Helper

The other day while I was binding my quilt, I got some unexpected help from my Little Person.

After a little bit of practice, my Little Person was able to put on all of the binding clips for me.

Now if I could just teach my Little Person how to sew on the binding, we would be in business! Then I would be able to spend all of my time in front of the sewing machine.

Until Next Time...Happy Quilting!

Pinwheel Pirouette

I have just finished my July project for the Charming Girls' Quilt Club. This month I was able to make the complete quilt. The pattern is called Pinwheel Pirouette by Cozy Quilt Designs. The fabrics that I used include Moda's Roman Holiday, American Jane, Winter, and Oak Leaf and Reels.

(Sorry for the terrible photos, but is has been raining ALL day long!)

If you look closely, you can see the yo-yo's that I appliqued to the center of the pinwheels.

I am determined to use up my stash. I have several large pieces of fabric that are just waiting to be used. What better way to use them than on the back of a quilt? If you look closely, you will see that I have even put the label on my quilt!

Here is my completed quilt just waiting to be used. Like I said before, I started this quilt last November and it has been waiting patiently for me to complete it. It was worth the wait!

If the weather is better tomorrow, I will take a picture of the center of the pinwheels with the yo-yo center.

I can't wait to see what the other quilt club members' create! I will be checking on them.

Until Next Time.....Happy Quilting!
