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 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...

Wow! It's the last day of May! Where did the month go??? I know I was crazy busy with projects. I managed to bind 5 quilts that had been just chilling out on the sidelines, and I also quilted and bound a quilt that is for sale in my etsy shop. I made a pouch for my mom and my mother in law, finished a quilt top for my son, finished 8 of 9 swoon blocks, and finished the giant starburst that was commissioned. I also managed to finish destroying my iPhone. 😥 2 months ago my son accidentally dropped my phone in the just right way as to smash the screen. It still worked but little pieces would randomly fall off. Well on Tuesday I dropped it, that was it's death knell, the lcd screen....dunzo. I lasted till yesterday (friday) with no phone, yesterday at 1:30 when I myself cracked and called my provider and ordered a new phone which thankfully will be here Monday. Whew, normalcy will return. Between my family, and quilting my phone is just something I can't live without. I do hav...

So I'm taking part in the sewmystash2015 as you can see from my widget over there. That will take you to the awesome  blog of Project Leasa  she thought up this awesome challenge and myself and many fellow quilters have decided to take it on. While I admit to being more than slightly terrified at not being able to randomly purchase fabric I know this exercise in using my gorgeous stash is worthwhile. I have also been advised that I can purchase fabric in order to complete or back a quilt however at least 50% of said quilt should come from my stash. Now I only started quilting 2 years ago but let me assure you I have never been a shrinking violet when it came to shopping and buying beautiful fabrics, well now, that was never difficult. So yes I admit I have a fair stash and not a small amount of projects that need to be completed (like my  schnitzel and boo mini quilt  which needs to be hand bound ASAP). I still feel a little daunted but I am ready to get started thou...
