Suggestions for a Baby Quilt

I have this really cute fabric and a few more FQs and want to make a baby quilt with it. I want to showcase the apples and owls so I wouldn't want too small of pieces. Doe anyone have any suggestions on a pattern to use? I have ironed the FQs and are ready to roll, but this one has me stumped. I have extra green fabric like the brown. Thank you and take care,

Coin Quilt Addiction

I think that I may have a problem......I am totally in love with making coin quilts. This is my 4th one in just a few weeks. I used more white in this one, because I wasn't sure if I had enough fabric. Turns out I have enough to make another quilt. I apologize for the picture quality, but DH isn't home and my quilt holder was being sort of whiney! LOL I can't take good pictures anyway and it doesn't help when the holder is rushing you! ;-) Close up, simple meander quilting.

I finished piecing this one today. I fell in love with this fabric because I love wild birds.

Cute little birdy!

Allergies are kicking my b*tt, so I am going to snuggle with Oliver and handstitch binding down tonight.

Take care all,

Cathy

New handbag

We are home and I spent last evening in my sewing room. I made this tote with fabric from Michael Miller. Here is the inside......I just put one pocket in it rather than wrap around pockets. I have found that one can have too many pockets in a purse. LOL

So, what are your plans this upcoming weekend? I plan to quilt the 2 quilt tops waiting in line and then make a quilt like the ones at the Old Red Barn Quilt Along.

Take care all,

Cathy

Camping and Quilting!

Off to do some camping!

I actually do get out of my quilting room once in a while. We are camping right outside of Charlottesville, Va. The campground is at the base of the mountains so it is a little cooler than at home. We do a lot of outside sitting, but I can't stay away from quilting for too long. ;-)

My sewing table.....sort of small but it does the trick.

My ironing board....a lot of patience is required to get those blocks pressed.

Take care,

Cathy

Quilting makes the quilt

It is always amazing to me how much quilting makes a quilt come alive! I haven't washed this one yet and that will further make it finished. I got all the binding sewn on at a family picnic yesterday. My little cavalier wasn't too happy that he couldn't sit in my lap though.

My Mom has a Cavalier also, and we have decided that they are dysfunctional......Her dog because he is antisocial when company comes and Oliver because he has horrible seperation anxiety. We don't really mind because they are our babies! LOL

Hope everyone is doing well, we are having a nice soaking rain,

More Coin Love

I made another Coin Quilt......this time using "Wonderland" by MoMo for Moda. They are so much fun to make especially with charm squares. I added a border to make it a little bigger.....love the border fabric.

I quilted the "Oh, Cherry Oh" one and need to quilt this one and the "Basket of Flowers" one. I do try to not let my quilts pile up. LOL

I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend. Please be careful if you are traveling anywhere.

Coin Quilt Love!

I haven't posted lately, but I have been sewing a lot lately. I love the look of coin quilts so I made 2! I used charm squares which makes for pretty fast piecing. This is Oh, Cherry Oh by Moda. This one is Baskets of Flowers by Moda.

I finally quilted this one from a couple months ago. Again, fabric by Moda......see a trend

here. ;-)

Quilting up close.....I sort of struggled with quilting this one....had a hard time getting into a rhythm.

I am not setting any etsy records selling quilts, but I have been making coffee sleeves to sell on consignment for a local independent coffee shop. They do sell pretty well so I made a bunch of them this weekend.

I hope that everyone is well and had a great weekend. Jenna Z. please email me your address so I can get the string quilt blocks out to you. Thank you.
