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 made sev

So I have been very busy doing something most of us creative folk have a hard time with. Finishing the things we start lol. It's hard because well, we have so much going on in our heads that quite often we start a new project before others are complete. These 2 quilts are exactly that, started a while ago, but finally complete! The first is the gorgeous Fresh quilt, this quilt is huge 98' I love it so much!!! It was supposed to be for me but then I decided my mom would love it, so I ended up giving it to her this past mothers day. I used Kona white and 2 layer cakes of Kate Spain Canyon (I am in love with this line) backed in Tula pink Free Fall fabric (which I also love!). it was long armed and turned out spectacular! This beautiful quilt is the Swiss quilt. I have actually made *well started* 2 of these, a yellow and a blue version but here is the blue all finished and ready for cuddling. All the blue is from my scraps, Kona white for the crosses. It is backed in

Good morning everyone! Today is a PD day for the kids so we are all at home having fun together. Only 9 days left in school this year. Hard to believe how fast it has all gone. I can't believe I haven't posted some of the quilts I finished earlier this year so here they are This mini sewing machine was made for a good friend I actually have never met. Conni and I met on Instagram and have become great friends. Hopefully one day we will get the chance to meet in person. The pattern for this mini quilt is from  Fat Quarter shop . I just love how it turned out This quilt was made for my Son's 5th birthday. I make them 2 quilts a year, one each for Christmas and one for their birthday. He requested these colours and I knew exactly what pattern. This quilt would not have come together without the help of the Instagram community. A bunch of lovely quilters from Canada and the US helped me by sending me blocks so that I could get this finished in time. I love it, I bac
