~Schnibble Fun~

I have been really bad this year about keeping up with the 'Another Year of Schnibbles' sew alongs!

This month is the exception! LOL

When Sherri and Sinta said to pick any mini pattern

by Camille Roskelley of Thimble Blossoms

I immediately knew my choice! :-)

I have had the round & round pattern in my hot little hands for a

bit, and want to make the large quilt. BUT~ it also has the mini

in the pattern. Yay!

I did mine in scrappy reds. I just adore red & white quilts!

I hope to get it quilted later this week, but it

seems since Spring has sprung here~ I am out digging in the dirt

more than sewing. :-o

Be sure to check out the parade tomorrow at Sherri and Sinta's blogs!

Happy Stitchin'!!

My favorite Schnibble... Schnibbles?

This month Sinta and Sherri asked us to blog about our favorite Schnibble pattern from the past 'Another Year of Schnibbles' parades.  How can anyone pick just one?

As I look through my photo album I am struck by how many I have made! And I love them all!  Although I haven't been able to get 'Bounce' quilted yet, it is one of my favorites. 

I really need for the weather to warm up some so I can go quilting!
Another favorite is 'Bibelot'...

I made it into a pillow which we use every day. (binding wasn't sewn down when the photo was taken)

And then there is..

'Drop' ~ I loved playing with the tiny pieces! This one is quilted, but I guess I didn't take a photo because I can't find it! :-/

Ok, I could go on and on~ there was Speck, and Summer Day, and Doc~ oh my!  :-)  And the houses~ another large pillow we use a lot. :-)

I'll stop. You get the idea. :-) I am really looking forward for more challenges is 2013. Thanks so much Sherri and Sinta and of course, Carrie~ the wonderful designer of the patterns we love~ Schnibbles!!

Until next time~
Happy stitching!

Little Bites...

When you hear that phrase, what do you think of? Little bites of food? Time? How about fabric? :-)
This month for the Another Year of Schnibbles project Sinta and Sherri chose a 'Little Bites' pattern from Miss Rosies Quilt Co called 'Drop'.  Little Bites are made using the 2.5 inch 'candy' squares.  They are like really little charm packs. LOL

There are three variations on the pattern and I chose the one with the most teeny pieces! I must be crazy!!  LOL Well, you already know that about me. ;-)  I cannot remember which candy packs I used. :-o Maybe something with 'chocolat' in it, because I'm drawn to that... both by the colors and the treat! :-)  LOL

I used my biggest design board to keep myself organized...

You can find the tutorial for these at Lori Holt's blog~ Bee in My Bonnet~ under her tutorials tab. I made some big ones at 20 inches square and it worked out perfectly for this project. :-) I love it when things work out!

So here is my Bite of a Drop. :-)  I put the ruler beside it so you can see how small it is... the sashings and corner stones finish at ½ inch. :-o  The whole thing will be 20 inches square. Yup, its true, I am certifiable! ~ and loving it!!! :-)

You can see a whole parade of these Little Bites on Sinta and Sherri's blogs on the first of December. Enjoy!

Until next time~
Happy Quilting!

Bounce! And CTTY

It's the end of the month already! Is anyone else wondering~ How did that happen?! ;-)

For Another Year of Schnibbles we had the choice of making Hubble or Bounce from Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. Of course, we were told in September so everyone would have plenty of time since these are bigger quilts.  Well........ :-/   I was gone in September and when I got home in October I needed a little rest.  And the next thing I knew, the month was half over and I hadn't even started! :-o Yikes!  So with the pedal to the metal, I got busy!  I made Bounce~

 Oh my stars! I love stars!! :-) It looks a little washed out in my photo~ sorry. :-/
Tomorrow Sherri and Sinta will have the parade. I don't think you will want to miss it! ;-)

I've also been stitching by night~ but not on my machine. For Christmas Through the Year, I've been making scarves.  This one will be for DD. Shhh! 

I also made myself a few. ;-) They are fast and easy. :-)

If you are still with me, you are a very loyal follower! Thank you!! This is my 700th post!  So in honor of my being such a chatterbox LOL   ;-)  Ok, really, in honor of you being such a wonderful blog friend! I am having a little giveaway...

 Leave me a comment if you'd like to win this little zipper pouch and 120 inch tape measure. I recently got one of these tape measures for myself and had no idea what I have been missing all these years! It is wonderful!  You don't have to be a follower to enter, but if you are :-) leave me a second comment telling me you are and you will get a second chance!  I will draw next week. Make sure your email is hooked to your comment so I can contact you!  Good luck!

Have a wonderful weekend~
and a very Happy Halloween! (did you think I forgot?) LOL ;-)

A Schnibbling Along~

Sinta and Sherri allowed us to choose what ever Schnibbles pattern we wanted to make for the July 'Another Year of Schnibbles' sew along. I've had 2 charm packs of Prairie Paisley 2 for quite a while, waiting for a chance to make Lincoln~ from the book 'Another  Bite of Schnibbles' ~

I love this one! Pretty easy, yet so patriotic!  Be sure to visit Sinta and Sherri's blogs on Wednesday for loads of inspiration! I can't wait for the parade!

Have a happy weekend!

What's Up Doc?

When I saw the Schnibbles pattern for May ~Doc~  I knew it would be perfect for my collection of striped shirt fabrics. What I didn't know was how hooked I would get! :-o  I just couldn't stop at nine blocks! I kept cutting, and sewing... and.... viola!

I have a quilt top for one of my DS's! :-) It was really hard to get good photo's~ the stripes look so much nicer in person.  I tried taking a photo outside too~

Now I need to get back to some of my other projects~ I seem to be behind in all of them! LOL

Hope you are having a great day!
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!

Happy Tuesday!

Tomorrow is February 1st already!  Are you ready?
It will also be the day for the 'Another Year of Schnibbles' parade! I love a parade!  :-)
The pattern for January was 'Full House 'by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co.

I made a 'Full House' pillow~

I need to get a bigger form, or make one for it. ;-)

To see the parade go to Sinta's or Sherri's blogs tomorrow~
Enjoy!!
