Lots of sewing going on…..

Always sewing if I can…the joy that quilting brings me is wonderful. When I am happy I want to quilt and even when I am worried about something, quilting helps soothe me.

 I have made probably 8 Wee Wander quilts…I love this fabric, especially the softness of it.

 A little secret sewing for a wonderful Cavalier Rescue lady.

 Pumpkin pillow for my daughter.

Quilt top for my daughter, yes, I love sewing for her.

 I got on the Granny Square wagon way late, but love them and can't wait to quilt and use this one.

 Fun pincushion to make.

 A pillow for Cavalier Rescue.

 I adore the Little Red Riding Hood fabric by Tasha Noel and still have a bit left.

 Miss Kate fabric by Bonnie and Camille…I adore making this quilt pattern, so much fun.

I will be back with more pics, hopefully not as long as it took me to upload these.

Happy Quilting,
Cathy

Quilting is my Therapy :-)

As I get older and maybe a little bit wiser, I am finding that very little in life gives me as much joy as quilting does. I have been quilting for about 35 years and have never lost the desire to quilt. I have been a spinner, weaver, knitter, clothes seamstress, temari maker, doll maker  and even tried my hand at a little bobbin lace, but quilting is the one craft that I go back to time and time again.


I haven't posted in forever so this will just be lots of pics of what I have been up to.












Take care,
Cathy

Sewing Machine Love

I may not be a good blogger, no, I am a terrible blogger, but I am always sewing. If a day goes by and I can't sew I feel like something is missing.
 I have been making a few dolls, but a lot of quilts.

I made 2 low volume quilts and actually kept one for myself. Because I got a little carried away cutting 5" squares, I will be able to make several more.


You don't think it is going to work out with all of the different fabrics but I think low volume quilts turn out so nice.
  

Close up…..

My cute photo bomber...

A custom quilt for someone who lives in Germany...


 Another custom quilt….I always get such a warm feeling when someone actually wants to buy one of my quilts. 


A doll and dolly quilt for a very sweet mama….


What are you working on? I would love to see pictures. 

Is anyone interested in doing a "Charmed Whirlygig" quilt along? I have a flickr group that I can revive…I thought it would be fun to do this winter. Please let me know.

Take care and stay warm and safe if you are living where it is snowing and frigid.
