Quilt Labels?

 Do you label all your quilts?

table runners?

wall hangings?

I have been rather lax in that department. :-) When I finish a quilt, I am ready to move on to the next, and that often means I don't label it. I had been folding the square to make a triangle in the corner so I could sew it on when adding binding~ but that only works if you add a binding. ;-) What about those projects where you take the back and fold it around to be the binding?

I have finally hit upon a solution that works for me.

Using my ~

Crafter's Edge Crossover II and the Whimsical Hearts Die set,

I fused Heat n' Bond to the back of my fabric and cut out hearts!


                                                        Lots of hearts!

Tonight I will take my pens and personalize them, and then they will be ready to go on the back of some projects. :-)

I love it when a plan comes together! LOL

Until next time~

Go sew something!!

Squirrel?

Ever have those days when you plan to do one thing,

and then~ squirrel!!! :-)

I have my Christmas sewing list made and should be working on that, but then I saw these towel designs and had to try them. :-)

The stripe is straight above the chicken tail, my folding is not so much. LOL

On the left is a design from Designs by Juju 

On the right is also a DBJJ 

Both designs come in sets and I fear there are more squirrels in my future! :-)

I did get my November BOM finished and have been sporadically working on getting my top together.

It is a traditional block called Rolling Stone, but normally it was done in 2 colors. Why do two when you can do 11?! ;-)

Ok, back to 'the plan'. LOL

Until then~ Happy Stitchin'!!

Happy Mail!!

Hi!

It is a dreary, rainy day here and I love it!!

We so need the rain!! :-)

Have you joined beaquilter's  new FQ club?

The fabrics are so cute for the winter bundle~

(photo borrowed from beaquilter~ remember, dark & dreary day here ;-) )

I just love the bunny print!  What should I make?  I am waffling between a couple cute placemats to chase away the winter blues after Christmas, or small size pillowcases for those little 'airplane' size pillows.... and leaning more to the placemats. LOL 

What would you make with this fun bundle?  Let me know in the comments, ok?

Until next time~

Happy stitchin'!!

Happy Haunting!!

Ghosts! Gremlins! Goblins! Ghouls!

Oh my!!! 

(Did you see how I had to sneak ghosts in there?  ;-) )

It is the 4th day of the blog hop, and my day to share a little spooky fun. Yay!

                     I found this machine embroidery design at the Embroidery Library, 

and knew I wanted to play with glow in the dark thread. :-)

It turned into a fun pillow cover.

                                 Some of the orange fabrics are also glow in the dark~

how fun is this!!??

            The little cards in front are postcards I will send out to my grandkiddoes.

I think they will have fun with the glowing fabrics too. ;-) 


 


            I want to send a special thanks to Joan @ Moose Stash Quilting for hosting

this fun blog hop! And be sure to check out my fellow bloggers today!~

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...
