Cherry,Cherry (Quilt #2)

(I secretly LOVE Neil Diamond...shhh, don't tell)
So as a tribute to Neil coming to concert, I made this lap quilt out of Lori Holt's Sew Cherry fabric line.
I even tried a little free motion quilting!!

My first baby (quilt-as-you-go) Quilt

I've named this quilt "Leo";)
Fabric is Riley Blake Alphabet Soup Boy.  I used one jelly roll.
This quilt was SO much fun and easy.  I finished it in one day!! Hooray!

Spring Cleaning

Yay!
I'm doing a ton of craft room spring cleaning.

I decided my craft room needed a MAJOR overhaul.  What does this mean? It means that the majority of my scrap booking and card making supplies will be sold.  Along with fabric scraps and ribbon. You might be wondering: What would I do with fabric scraps? A lot of these scraps are strips from a quilt i've made, which are perfect for making rosettes for hair and clothing accessories  Right now I am filling 10x15 inch bags full of supplies.  Each bag will be different but each bag will have over $50 worth of supplies from manufacturers such as Making Memories, SEI, Stampin Up!, K&Co.  All My Memories, My Minds Eye, and Basic Grey.  I will be adding them to my Etsy shop for $10 (plus 5.00 for shipping)  If you live local, call me or email me if you want one.

Packed and ready to go!

Unusual?

It's not unusual for me to have two (or sometimes three) projects in the works at the same time.  I'm not sure why I do this.  I think it's ADD.  The thought just came to me tonight while working on two projects at once.  I wondered if other people do this or it's just me...

Here's a glimpse:

Take a "Hop"

Have you been over to Toad's Treasures lately? She has a free tutorial for her dish drying towel.  I downloaded the pattern instructions and I can't wait to get started.

Hello There...

Yes, its been a while.  Don't worry I'm okay--(for the 2 people who actually read this blog)
So much going on these last few months.
You probably noticed the link to the Skin Cancer Foundation on the right hand side.  I had Stage one Melanoma. The doctor found it on my calf.  Thankfully, it hadn't spread.  I still can't believe I had cancer.  I now have to get screened every four months for two years.
Early detection saved my life!

On top of that, my mom is getting married! Today.  It has been a whirlwind of planning, caterers, invitations, etc.  I'm so happy for her.

I have many projects in the works.  I hope to have pictures and tutorials soon

New kits added to my Etsy Shoppe

I've added cosmetic bag kits to my shoppe.














The kit comes with everything you will need to make two matching cosmetic bags and one sunglass case.  With step-by-step instructions too.  Fabric is 100% cotton.  The kit includes iron-on vinyl for the inside of the bags for easy clean up.
Don't be intimidated with sewing zippers--(they really are easy) and once you've sewn one, it's life changing!

I will post a tutorial soon on how I make cosmetic bags.
