Big City Quilt

I am finally making a quilt for our bed, yep-this one is staying on my bed! I'm so excited. I am using this great pattern and using Denyse Schmidt's Flea Market Fancy (My favorite line). It's been hanging on my wall for about a week and I keep peeking in on it every day and pieces are moved frequently-I just need to find the time to actually piece it!

Look at that awesome quilt wall-That was my early Christmas present from my Hubs-he kinda likes me! It is super helpful, especially with a quilt this big (96x96 finished).


Grandma Wiley was a amazing quilter, and I got my little hands on one of her quilt tops that never had a chance to become a quilt-until now. Roberta and I went shopping for backing and batting when she visited, so all that i have to do now is tie the quilt and bind it up! I basted it this afternoon, and hopefully I can get it all hand tied by the end of the month.

A Walk in the Woods Quilt

I'm back in blog land!

Lately I have been sewing for friends, family and my local quilt shop! It's been so much fun.

My most favorite recent quilt I made was back in November for a friend who is having a baby girl any day now :)

I made it using this pattern and this adorable fabric by Aneela Hoey.

My local quilt shop has asked me to make models for their shop, which is super exciting-I am getting ton's of experience and and learning so much. I am thankful for a great shop so close to home! One of the tops I've made is currently displayed in the front window of the shop!

This quit was way out of my comfort zone for me (color wise), but I LOVE IT! The browns and pinks work so well with the red's.

I hope to start blogging regularly once again, I really do like it-it's just finding the time! Here's to hoping...right?!

Thanks for stopping by
