Boy oh boy December hit me hard with finishing projects!!! I have managed to finish piecing my placemats, and just today finished my mom's quilt top for her birthday on Dec 24th. I won't finish it because it is getting long armed. I still need to finish her pillow for Christmas (mom doesn't read my blog at least not yet lol so I'm safe to spill the beans) plus I have 2 baby quilts to quilt and bind oh and start the mini quilt for my mini swap with the awesome Schnitzel and Boo. My mom's gorgeous quilt is the moda love pattern which was designed for a layer cake which is obviously not what I used lol. My mom's favourite colour is red and she loves this Nancy Crow red so I said ok let's go dramatic  so here it is. I love it. Like all my quilts hard to say good bye to but she deserves it.
And here is a completed placemat top I used Jan Shade Beach because well I love her Christmas line pretty much every year. See my little utensil pocket? I love these can't wait to start using them, but first to quilt them

Anyone else working on any last minute projects?

Well here it is 😃 the last day of 2014. Still trying to finish some outstanding projects before the new year begins. Ok ok yeah I did decide on like Dec 27th to make a baby quilt I really didn't need to make just wanted to. I have one more quilt top to finish piecing and some backing to prep but that's it for 2014 then :) This first one is the baby quilt I just had to make. I love it! It features the gorgeous Miss Kate line from Thimble Blossoms by Bonnie and Camille. It's just so happy 😃  This 2nd one I started oh my goodness back in March 2014 I think. It was only missing the borders so I added them and now this quilt top is done 😃 it's for my son I love it! It features the Vintage Verona line  from Riley Blake. So today I finish one more quilt top and then piece the backing for my mom's quilt and then, well, that's a wrap. Everything else will have to wait for 2015. Can you believe I already have a to do list for January lol. Anyone else trying t...

Well today, is a quiet day, ok well quiet moment. Mr Minion had one surgery today, one minion is at school the other with her Nonna. I thought I would pop on to share some of the quilts I made earlier this year. I am working on a bunch of projects right now, finishing a commissioned baby quilt and teachers gifts. I will post pics of those as they are done. lately I have been working on my WIP's. As quilters we have way too many of these as we often start a new project long before the last one is even close to completion. I have managed though to finish 2 very large projects that I started months ago. This is my supernova quilt (and my puggle) I had to stand way up my stairs to get this pic as this is a huge queen size quilt. I was first inspired to make this one I saw a pic on Instagram in these colours, it was a block made for a charity quilt and I fell in love. I do love a big block quilt though they do still take time. The pattern is from  Freshly Pieced  and I have mad...

Ok here is the beauty I made for the  Schnitzel and boo  mini quilt swap round 3 I love it will be sad to see it go. I really hope my partner loves it. Here it is ready for hand binding. Ignore any blue lines you see. I can sew a straight line to save my life so I draw them and once I wash it they disappear and gorgeous straight lines appear. Really though what I love in this pic are my new Clover Wonder clips I am so in love with them. I think I may have to make them their very own pouch. So here is the quilt :)
