CGQC January Tag

Well, Kelly has tagged us and it's a good one!  We are to show how we decorate our quilts/sewing things...I found this quilt rack about 2 weeks ago, it holds 3 quilts.  For now, I just have one quilt to put on it.

I found this Star thread cabinet about a year ago.  And let me tell you, I was EXCITED!  I found it during my lunch hour, on my way back to work I called the girl's at the office to meet me outside to see my wonderful prize.

I finally found a use for the crystal fruit bowl & cake plate my aunt gave me 10 years ago.  I know...as soon as I can I will be making a runner for this cabinet.

I have been having fun looking at everyone's decorations and have been inspired to decorate even more.  Hope everyone is having a good week...and I'm looking forward to the party on Saturday!

Valentine's quilt

I just can't get the energy to start working on my Simplicity quilt.  But I had enough to start a small/mini quilt for Valentine's day (hehehe!).  See, I had some red fabric I won in an awesome giveaway this past summer from Kelly.  And all I needed was something to go with it.  I found a great deal on 'Love Is In The Air' layer cake over at JoJo's Gift Shoppe.  Anyhoo, after making the 'baby' size version of the 'Baby Cakes' pattern, I had to find/order more fabric (imagine that!) to add a border to it.  I guess while I'm waiting for the fabric I could work on my Simplicity quilt...or not.  Hope all of you are having a good (& warm) week!

Up

It's a kid's movie that is out on dvd.  We watched it last night and it was a nice movie for the whole family to watch.  And wouldn't you know, in the first half of the movie there is a bedroom scene with a quilt in it!  As soon as it was on the screen, my little one says 'Hey Momma, there's a quilt.' and me and my DH busted out laughing.  It was a sweet moment.  So, if any of you were thinking about renting this movie - you should, it's a good one. Hope everyone has a warm & fun weekend!

CGQC January Project

Like I was telling Kelly & Joan, I'm having a problem with left over UFO's.  I think I have about 6 (no rolling of the eyes -please) UFO's and would like to get them completed.  So, I am only making one commitment this month.  It's to complete the Simplicity quilt.  It was one of the first quilts I quilted on Bessie. There are several spots that need to be fixed - tension problems and it needs binding.  If I happen to work on other items, so be it.

Completed Quilts in 2009

Before I start to figure out what I would like to make/try in 2010, I'd like to recap what I did in 2009.  I'm doing something like Stef (aka The Quilt Buddy) did.  Which is really a good idea - 'In order to see the future you must look at the past!' - I'm quoting her from her blog.  So here it goes...

My first completed quilt, Log-A-Load 2009 (hand pieced & quilted) (entered my first quilt show):

Then came Swanky (my first quilt along):

Then came Friendship for Recipe (quilt for my Mom):

Then Crazy Jack (my first wall hanging):

Then there was my first mini swap, I used Gobble Gobble:

 

Another CGQC quilt along:

And last - my most bestest quilt...for my little guy:

Whew! I think that's all of them. What a year! Let the new year & fun begin...I'm happy to be sharing the ride/joy with all of you!
