Has It Really Been A Week?!

Time just doesn't stand still, does it? :-)  I did finish some things while I was absent~

This is about my dozenth or more flannel/denim raggy quilt. The pattern I started with came from an old issue of Traditional Quilts magazine, but I have altered it a bit over the years.  I don't have the magazine anymore, but the pattern is stuck in my head forever. LOL  This is for a friend's DD for graduation.  Aubrey loves brights, so I hope I hit the nail on the head. :-)

The front~

The back~

And I always embroider a square with the date. Her older brothers got the same quilts for their graduations and her Mom told me she has been hoping I would make one for her too. LOL

I also worked on some potholders for my Christmas Through the Year box~

First I made the green one using this tutorial~ Quilted Mitt Pot Holder

 I put an extra layer of Warm and Natural in with the Insulated batting to give it a little more 'cush'. :-)  Then I got to thinking about the denim pieces I had left from the quilt and thought the pocket would work great for a pot holder. So I came up with the other one.

Now I am thinking the denim one would also make a great Father's Day gift with some new tools for the grill... so that one may not make it until Christmas! LOL

Please go  HERE to see some more wonderful CTTY projects and be inspired! ;-)


I hope you are finding time to sew too.
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!

Happy Friday!

I know! The month is nearly over already and I haven't been back since the 7th!  If there was an icon to make a face that said 'eek', I would put it right here! ;-)

I haven't been slacking off~  :-)

I got the backs made for a couple tops I want to get quilted.  (sorry no pics yet)

I got my February BOM done for the quilter's on HGTV's quilting board and all posted. It is called 'Morning Stars' and you can find the pattern on Quilters Cache. ~

I made a pair of potholders for a friend's birthday~

I finished my first panel on my Over the River and Through the Woods quilt (by Crabapple Hill).~

 Sorry it is so dark~ it is a grey and rainy day here.

I made a few thread catchers for Christmas Through the Year ((pattern from Red Hen fabrics)~
I made a few more but forgot to take photo's before I mailed them off for birthday gifties. ;-)

 The one is really not wonky~ I just didn't pull it all the way up. ;-/

I worked on my pincushions for a swap (pattern found at Flamingo Toes)~

I also got my blocks finished for the Country Threads BOM, but guess I forgot to take photo's. :-/

And tonight I am joining Heidi for Friday Night Sew In and working on a UFO. :-)

Hope you've been having a busy, but productive month too!
Until next time~
Happy Stitching!!
