Back to school!!!

Sale, Sale, Sale!!! Don't miss this opportunity. My Etsy shop is having a "Back to School" sale. Starts today and ends on Sept 11. Now that kids are in school, we have a little more time to sew, yippee! School has started and the homework has begun. I hope ya'll have survived. It's been pretty crazy here getting ready. But I love this time of year when it starts to get cooler. It's more fun to be outside when your not melting. Oh, by the way Fat Quarter Shop now has two of my current patterns, Bloomin' and Chatterbox. Jessi, Chatterbox is 64" x 78".

Chatterbox

What do ya'll think?? This was such a fun quilt to make and I love the colors. I was up at 6:30 in the morning to go buy this fabric. Corn Wagon Quilt Co, had a PJ day sale, so of course I was there with a whole lot of other crazy quilters. It was great. I just love quilting!!! This quilt was a little out of the box for me. It was fun to design and more fun when it was done. It finishes 64"x78", so it's great for a huge throw.

Bloomin'

Here is the newest!!! I fell in love with this fabric when I saw it. I knew I had to make this quilt and couldn't stop dreaming about it. I finished my other quilts and started this one. I just love it! Brandie, my quilter did another amazing job. Stay tuned, Chatterbox is up next.

Times Up!

And the winner is..... Lisa!!! She gets Seasonal Skinnies 1. Lisa, please email me your address so I can ship your pattern to you. Oh what fun it was to read all the comments about my quilts.

I'm going to be adding more patterns on my Etsy shop, so if you didn't win, you can always buy. Thanks for following and have a great day!!

It's time to have our very first contest. Are ya'll ready??? Good! This is going to be easy. We are starting right now.

The winner will then receive the quilt pattern, absolutely FREE, that they chose as their favorite. OK? So start thinking and get your vote in now. Just respond with a comment. Thanks and have fun!

Fruitcake anyone???

Very Merry again.... Here it is in the Fruitcake line. The picture of course doesn't do it justice. I have to say that any line works for this quilt.. I hope ya'll have had a good week and are keeping cool. The summer is slipping by so quickly. My kids start school in 3 weeks, I can't believe it! I think I'm ready for it. I know that I will have 2 1/2 hours everyday all to myself, and you better believe it, I will be sewing!!!. My baby is starting kindergarten. I have some fun ideas in the works and am anxious to sew more. Until next time, still sewing and happy

Utah Valley Quilt Guild Fair

Here's my booth at the Vendor Mall yesterday. I have to say I can't wait to do it again! My husband calls this my padded cell. Well if this is crazy, I'll take it. Everyone that came through loved what they saw. I had a few ladies call my quilts, "Just too stinkin' cute!" After it was all said and done, I was happy, but bone tired. Thanks to all who stopped by to say Hi!

Thanksgiving Skinnies... Hooray!!!!

Do you love them or what???!!! I have to tell ya'll when I first started drawing my turkey I went to my husband and asked, "What do ya think?" he said, "What's it supposed to be?" I said, "A turkey" he said, "Well it looks like a peacock." So I went back to the drawing board. It took me a little while before I came up with the turkey you see here. I love them and just laughed when I put on his rick rack legs. The Skinnies were a hit at the show.

Add a little spice to your life...

Pumpkin Spice that is. Finally you can see what I've been raving about all this time. This was also shown for the first time at the fair. I taught a class yesterday and showed the quilters there how I did my foundation piecing on "Pumpkin Spice". They were interested and liked what they saw. I have to say this is one of my favorites. I have always loved fall time and the colors that we are blessed to see. I made this whole quilt, back included with fabric from my stash. So go pull out all your yummy fall fabrics and make yours today. Corn Wagon Quilt Co. has this on display also.

Park Avenue

Now showing in all quilt shops! OK, maybe someday. Here it is "Park Avenue"!!!! It debuted yesterday at the Utah Valley Quilt Guild fair. Oh it was fun being there and meeting all the great quilters, designers and shop owners!! My daugther was there with me and we had a wonderful time. I was really good and only bought one piece of fabric. To see it in person stop on by Corn Wagon Quilt Company in Springville UT.
