Finished UFO Quilt!!

Yiipee! Got 1 finished and XXXX to go!!
This star quilt was started 2 years ago
when I was teaching my daughter-in-law
how to quilt. She got her's finished!!!

This is a closeup of the rose quilting design.
It was hand quilted which is why I paused
to do other things!!!

An the back is a nine patch. Now I need to
get one more finished so I can paint a
round end table.

Happy Stitching!!

Some Finishes!

This is my small scrap pumpkin quilt.

This is a fall bag I made and use as a small
craft project bag.

I made this out of upholstery samples
using a pattern from a tutorial on
a blog that I can't seem to find at
the moment!

And this is little Emma with her 'Dorothy'
Raggedy Ann!


Have a great day....Carlie

Aunt Ellie's Quilt

My husband's Aunt in Connecticut
turned 90 this year and most of the family
went there to celebrate with her.

She collects blue and white china
so I wanted to do a quilt with blue
and white china on yellow fabric that
I had. Sorry the color of the photos
are not good.

This is the back of the quilt.

A closeup of the flowers and butterfly applique.
It was hand quilted also.
I really liked the way it turned out. Aunt Ellie
like it too!

Christmas Quilts

I had a great time this weekend making this tree quilt.
It is a great tutorial on Gundrun's World Blog.
It was for the Cross Country Christmas Designer
Blog Hop. They feature a different designer
each day with a free pattern.

Here is a closeup. It is a quilt as you go.
It was so easy and fast...after you sew
the pieces together on the batting and
backing it is done but for the binding!

I made this snowmen quilt a few years ago but
still enjoy putting it out each year. It goes in
the room with my snowman collection.
I'm getting excited to start decorating this
year. So I will be getting it all out in the next
day or two.

Finally Finished Quilt and Belated Thank You

I have been so busy finishing my quilt that
I can hardly believe I let two weeks go by!
I did this quilt for a contest with Better Homes
and Gardens.

I scattered circles on the blue and green squares
and blanket stitched around them. I tried big
stitch quilting with floss in circles to match the
size of the circles. It was harder than I thought
to control the larger stitch length. But I
liked the way the back looks with all the circles.

I had left over circles and made two pillows
to match....

Now for an apology...I never got around
around to showing my cute Halloween gourd
that I won from Lynda at
Haunted Swamp Designs... Isn't it too cute!?

Thanks so much!
