I'm a Travelin' Gal!

Two posts in one day!

I hope it brings rain! ;-) We are in need.

I also hope you have been visiting the blogs in the blog hop in my previous post. Some very cute ideas and you might find a giveaway too!  Also be sure to come back Thursday on my day because you WILL find a giveaway here. ;-) ;-)  

This month I have been on the road a lot!

I got back from another retreat and wanted to share some of the projects with you. They were all so fun!  I will share more of my projects after the hop. 

One of the gals worked on this quilt. She based it off of an Eleanor Burns pattern~ she also made some cute pillow shams to go with it but I didn't get that pic.

 

My friend Toni, no blog, worked on 3 Yard Quilts from the books with that title. I am not sure which book this came from but I loved it. It made ideas spin in my head! I have a couple really cute border prints~ wouldn't a border print be awesome where she has the red poinsettias?  I am not sure if I would do pinwheels, or maybe take something from the border print. :-)


This is the design wall filled with American Hero tops! I overlapped the red borders to get three on. All together the girls made 5 tops! Four of the retreaters belong to the same guild and the guild made the corner star blocks. Once finished the quilts go to our local military hospital for servicemen/women who are there recovering from injuries they received while deployed.

And finally, one of my projects. :-)

This is a Sew Sweetness pattern called 'The Chickadee Backpack'.

I made it in Batman fabric for my DGS. I embroidered the logo with my embroidery machine. I think I found the design on Etsy. :-)  I had everything cut out before I went and it was a pretty quick sew! The inside has a couple zipper pockets and there is also a mesh pocket in the outer pocket. 

I am hoping he will love it! :-)

Ok, that's all for now, I will have more show and tell after the Queen of Gadgets Hop.  

Are you following it? I am loving all the projects and ideas! 

Until then~

Happy quiltin'!!

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
