Well it's funny isn't it, I was quilting like crazy right up until an hour before dinner on the 31st of Dec. January came and well we are almost halfway through it and aside from quilting the quilt for my mini quilt swap today is the first day I have really been back to quilting. Today I started to finish the patchwork quilt I started for my son almost 5 months ago. It's a simple patchwork, I did a smaller version for my etsy shop (baby size) loved it so much and had some left over that I said hey why not make one for my minion. I love patchwork quilts, all quilts are beautiful they don't all have to be insanely difficult and fussy just filled with the love and effort of the maker. So the patchwork quilt top will be finished tomorrow but thinking of adding some borders to it "special it up" a bit. My very first quilt was a patchwork for him, I've come a long way since then but I know he will love it. Plus I'm happy to be using fabric from my stash instead of letting it just sit there and collect. What are your January projects? Continuing with lots from 2014 or moving right into new stuff from 2015?

Oh and in other awesome news my very favourite designers latest line was released today!!! I got this email 
And literally jumped up and down since I have been waiting forever for this line!!!! I 💞 V&co she is amazing so I have placed a large order to be sure. Which designers do you love and need to have? Between Kona (love solids) and V&co I could be happy for a long time.

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...

So I've been very busy trying to keep up with orders as well as Christmas presents for my own family. Since I finished 1 of 3 quilts that are presents the other day I felt it only right to finish a non Christmas present quilt top today. Here is my supersized swoon quilt top  So it's no secret that I love the swoon. I made myself a queen size swoon and my daughter a normal size swoon and a lot of baby swoon's, but this I love and I know I will be making many more. The traditional swoon block finishes at 24" the block here finishes at more than double. All told I am at approx 68.5" a great size to cuddle with. I'm thinking of posting a tutorial on how I did it. Can't wait to get this finished and ready for cuddling

Boy oh boy seems fall just crept up on me. I had a great summer though! Playing with my minions and of course quilting. The minions seem very interested in quilting so I let them sew whenever I can. I am posting some of the quilts I worked on over the summer right up until yesterday lol.  Below is the plus quilt I made as a quilt along the pattern is from Jelli Quilts but I supersized the baby quilt and made it 50x60" every fabric is from my stash. I love how it turned out and can't wait to have it long armed     This baby swoon is my fave. I love how it turned out. I love ombre fabric so much. I can't wait for the backing to come in so I can quilt it  This sweet feminine baby swoon will be the perfect addition to a little girls room. It is just so delicate and pretty I love heart quilts . They are just gorgeous, this one is 45x45 perfect for cuddling with. I jumped on the hedgehog bandwagon. I started with this mini and ha...
