Quilting during the day, dollmaking at night

is how I spend my days. I keep my fingers busy working all the time and love every minute of it.

Cheers,
Cathy

Quilting Love

I have been quilting so much  lately. I think part of the reason is that is still chilly outside and also that I find sewing on  my sewing machine so soothing. We had to send our beautiful Brodie to the Rainbow Bridge on February1st and quilting has helped keep my mind occupied. Not that there has not been a river of tears shed.

Mainly I have been using Bonnie and Camille fabrics....I have purchased every single line that they have designed. But, I had this top that I used MoMo charm packs for and love the way it turned out.

A little wonderland......

And of course "Marmalade"by Bonnie and Camille....

Take care,
Cathy

Another quilt finish

This quilt had the top finished a couple months ago and was just waiting to be quilted. I am having a really tough time with pretty sick dogs and found that the  quilting  was very soothing.  The fabric  is the adorable Sherbet Pips by Aneela Hoey. I believe that her fabric lines  and Bonnie and Camille are my very favorite quilt fabrics.

More quilt ideas are floating around in my head, so I will be busy.
 Hope everyone has been having lots of quilting fun,
Cathy

Quilting Blog....Oh how I have missed you...

I can not believe how neglected this poor blog is. I have been so busy making Waldorf dolls, that I have not had much time for quilting. But, with cooler weather, I always get the itch to quilt and snuggle under quilts so I have been busily stitching away.

This one is one of my go to patterns "Boxed Squares" made with Flea Market Fancy fabric. I had a lap quilt giveaway on my facebook page and this is one of them I made for it.

A little doll quilt, not yet quilted made with the yummy fabric Marmalade by Bonnie and Camille for Moda and a little doll dress made with wonderful Liberty of London fabric.

Next up will be a baby quilt for my great nephew who was born in August, I am a little late but I am making it sort of large so he can use it for quite a while.

So happy to be back...take care everyone,
Cathy

Can it really be February 14th?

• Am I showing my age by saying that? LOL  I am really saying it because of what a slack blogger I am. I have been making quilts, mainly doll sized ones but did make one for myself on my birthday. Once it was washed and dried I proceeded to snuggle under it.  Just a simple boxed squares patterns, the best to show off the yummy goodness of "Ruby" by Camille and Bonnie for Moda.

One of the little doll quilts I made....I love this fabric, it is so soft and just plain cute

 Sort of hard to tell....but the fabric is the wonderful "Walk in the Woods" by Aneela Hoey for Moda. I have every one of her fabric lines.

 And one more ...this is  fabric by Heather Ross...I finally cut into it. :-)

I hope everyone is doing well.  I am going to try really hard to post more often. I plan on making the "Swoon" quilt like so many others are doing. I swoon every time I see people's blocks.

Take care,
Cathy

Quilts of 2011

I actually made more quilts this year than I realized...there are a few more that I never took photos of. 
I hope every one is doing well and has a wonderful holiday!


Warm cheers,
Cathy

Quilt tops are piling up.....

I have been piecing quilt tops and the number of unquilted tops is now 6 with 2 more tops almost finished. Thank  goodness, 2 of them are small doll quilts. 

 Love this fabric....I am making a quilt with her Little Apples Line and and am very excited about her third line coming out.

Must have at least one whirlygig in the line up. I have to say that I think this pattern is my very favorite.

 And of course, always working on new dolls......

Now that fall is here it is so fun to snuggle under quilts at night.
Have a great weekend,
Cathy
P.S. I hope everyone is doing well!!!
