1st finish for 2014 - ARMY Quilt

 

This is my first finish for 2014.  I actually finished this quilt several weeks ago but I wanted to make sure that Amber had the chance to see it first before I did a post.  She picked fabrics from the Stonehenge line by Linda Ludovico & Deborah Edwards for Northcott.  The fabric she picked was perfect!

Irene - Month 2

This is the 2nd month for the sew-along and we just had to make another 5 blocks.  Since I had the time, I went ahead and made a few more blocks.  It's not to late to join in this sew-along.  If you click on the picture to the right it will take you to Terry's blog & you can see what the other ladies are doing.  The sun is shining today...YAY!  Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

1st 5 blocks done.

I've been sick the last 5-7 days.  Today is the first day I feel normal.  Thank goodness because the AFC & NFC Championship football games are today.  Since I'm here - GO BRONCOS!  GO SEAHAWKS!  While I was sick I was not able to do any sewing.  So I had to put Amber's quilt on hold.  But last night, even though I was still a little out of it, I went ahead and whipped up my 5 blocks.  I think I'm going to like the yellow.  I hope everyone is enjoying this sew-along.  I love the nice, slow pace!  If you'd like to check it out, just click on the Goodnight Irene picture on the right side.  Have a great week!

EDIT AFTER POSTING...maybe I should have waited to feel better before sewing?  Instead of an 'X' block, I sewed 'O' blocks...lol!  I'll fix them later.

Good Night Irene Sew-Along

The fun has started!  Terry of Terry's Treasures is hosting a sew-along and we are going to be making a quilt called Good Night Irene.  It should measure about 48x48 plus an outer border.  My background fabric came in the other day but I'm going to have to hold off on starting because I am in the middle of finishing up a quilt.  So I decided to use Spring House by Stephanie Ryan.  I picked this line because of the pinks, blues, greens & yellows.  After thinking about the background fabric, I knew I didn't want to use white.  I decided on yellow.  I feel like it will work but I'll know as soon as I start putting it together.  We only have to make 5 blocks this month and it's going to be fun to see the different fabric choices.  If you feel like you want to join in, just click here for more information.  Hope everyone has a good week...stay safe and warm!

Arkansas Razorback T-Shirt Quilt

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!  I finished this quilt last week.  It was a Christmas present for Joyce's husband.  I really like the red and black color combination.  I used the University of Arkansas print by Sykel Ent. and Robert Kaufman Kona cotton black.  Not sure if I'm going to have any other finishes this year but I am looking forward to picking out the fabric for Terry's sew-along.  If you think you might be interested in joining, you can go here and check out Terry's blog to find out more information.
