February went fast!!!!!

I can't believe that today is the last day of February. This month went by super fast for me.

Remember last month I told you that my mom and I are doing a challenge with stripe fabric.  The Quartered Stripes Quilt from Missouri Star Quilt Co.

Here is a picture of my progress. Still want to put some boards on it and make it a little bit bigger.

 Back last year in March after my procedure, my husband took me Liberty Missouri.  Most quilters will know who is in Liberty Missouri. Yes I went to "Quilting is my Therapy" and I actually got to meet Angela Walters.  I was so excited to meet her, such a wonder person.

While I was there I got one of her kits with some Tula Pink backing.  I wasn't able to start to put it together until this month, with everything that was going on.

But here is the pattern that I bought and started working on it.

 

A lot of clipping.

There are a total of 81 blocks I have done 65 so far.  

There is a couple other projects that I was working on this month.

Canning Season Quilt-Along  

and 

I made a baby quilt for my new grandson that is going to be born any day now.

I will add a picture of the completed quilt soon.  I have already packed it before I got a picture of it. 

Canning Season Quilt-Along  There are a lot of half square triangles in this Quilt-Along  I have completed about 200 of the 1000 triangles. I'm not sure if I can actually count those toward my 350 blocks project or not, because they will going into blocks them selfs.

I am using Tula Pink fabric for this Quilt-Along and making my half square triangles 1.5" using the Thangles that I had.

 For now I am going to finish packing my bags and head down to GA tomorrow morning to see my first grandson when he's born.

Happy Quilting!!!

January coming to a close

I can't believe that January is already coming to a close.  For the first part of the month I was very sick with the flu so I didn't get to quilt very much.
I only did 12 blocks done for this month for The 350 Blocks Project that Prairie Moon Quilts puts on ever year.  Below are the blocks that I did this month.


My mom and I are doing a challenge with each other with stripe fabric.  There was a video from Missouri Star Quilt Co.  Called The Quartered Stripes Quilt that we are making it with

Here is the stripe fabric that I am using:

Here are some of the blocks from the fabric.  Which I did these in one day.  I still have 1 1/4 yard of fabric to cut out. We both bought double the amount of fabric so we could make a bigger quilt.

There is 10 blocks of my for the month.

I am also doing the Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2017, I have a lot of scraps that I need to use up.  This month was Purple (which you all know is my fav color).  I am doing row of scrappy fabric.  See below the start of my row.

For the month of February will be See Green.

With being so sick for a while, I decided I needed to change my sewing room around.

Here is a short tour of my sewing room, I still have some more organizing to do.

First time using the iMovie software.

So for the month of January wasn't to bad, even though I was sick.  

Happy Quilting!

Skill Builder BOM 2014 - Quilting

  Skill Builder BOM 2014 – Pile O' Fabric

The first of February I showed piecing the ruler and the threads. Here is the quilting that I did for the ruler and threads.

 

 I have also done the stitches I really like doing these.

The cross stitch was really easy to size with the HST Ruler.

Now here is the quilting of the stitches.

 I am now going to start working on the Chevron Star and Churn Dash Block .   If you haven't been doing this BOM, you should give it a try. You will learn some new skills and have fun doing them.  I just want to thank Pile O' Fabric  for putting this all together.

Keep Quilting!

Springfield Modern Quilt Guild Challenge for May

Can you believe it, it's not the end of the month and I am posting....

For our Guild Challenge it was to take 8 - 2 1/2 strips of modern fabric and make something, anything....  so here is what I did with those 8 strips and some white fabric.

I took the strips and cut them 7 1/2 in. each and added white strips around them. Then with the extra pieces I made some circles on the back.  With having the straight lines on the front, I decide to quilt some swirls to break up all the straight lines.

This was a fun challenge, no pattern, just started piecing fabric together...
