More Totes

Okay this is my last batch of totes for a long while!

I made these for someone to give as gifts and although I had a 

great time picking fabrics I would rather make quilts.

The close-up shows the different linings in each one.

The chevron bag is actually an upholstery material. I wasn't sure 

how it would hold up so although I wash and dry all the material

 for the totes I did this material twice, it held up very well.

I hope the giftees like theirs!

Liam's Charm Squares Quilt Redux

I needed to make a fast baby quilt and found a great pattern by

Elizabeth Hartman , Charm Squares Quilt Redux. 

I did some simple straight line quilting and it is on the way to baby Liam.

This was a quick easy pattern and I will definitely use it again.

Cruzin' is going to Finland

This quilt has finally found a boy to keep warm! 

It is now on the way to Finland for sweet little Aaro.

As soon as I heard Riia and Veli were having another boy 

I new I was going to send this quilt.

Hope this keeps you warm Aaro!

Trip Around the World with Chicopee

  
 

Juli Ann from the STLMQG made a quilt very similar to this and 

after getting her okay to copy hers this is what mine looks like. 

This quilt is a  Scrappy Trip Around the World 

using Denyse Schmidt's Chicopee Fabric. 

I put in a few rows of left over blocks to make a color splash on the back.

The binding is two sided.

Pips Quilt for Chenoa

Finally used some of my pips fabric, we have a new baby in the family.

Riley Blake Challenge Quilt

Update: This quilt made the Top Ten in the Riley Blake Challenge! Very excited!

My Riley Blake Challenge Quilt.

I used a blue chevron for back.

I added a little color to the white binding.

Pillow Bomb 4th Installment

My last contribution to the Siteman Pillow Bomb, the final count for me  is 118.

The guild made 707 total!

These will be delivered to the Siteman Cancer Center on February 14th.

I enjoyed making these and hope they comfort the patients.

Macie and Brenda's Tote

My cousin Brenda wanted me to make her and her granddaughter tote bags.

I think they turned out nice!

Pillow Bomb 3rd Installment

27 more pillows for the Siteman Cancer Center.

There is only a little more than a month left until we give them to the center.

My total is now 66!

Alice

 My daughter's friend is having a baby girl and is decorating her 

room with an Alice in Wonderland theme, so that was my inspiration.

We decided to put a satin heart on the back for the" Queen of Hearts".

I love the way the backing fabric is sculpted like vines.

The binding is a bright pink satin.

Declan's Car Seat Cover

I made this car seat cover for Declan using the same material I used for his quilt.

It has a flannel back with batting sandwiched in between so it will be nice and warm.

Pillow Bomb 2nd Installment

My second round of Siteman Cancer Center pillow covers.

I made 20 this time.

We have our big sew-in tomorrow, I will let you know how many we get done.

Declan's

This is the blanket I made for my new grandson. 

My daughter wanted one similar to the one below 

that I made three years ago for my second grandson.

I used cottons, flannels and ultra cuddle fabric for both of them with a satin binding.

I found this wonderful chevron ultra cuddle fabric for the back. 

It is so soft!

Reunion Quilt

I made this quilt to raffle off for our family reunion fund. 

We will be picking the winner at our reunion next summer.

I used the "Around the World" pattern because our

 family has spread out but we are all still centered to each other. 

My Mom did the hand quilting.

Almost all the material was from my mothers fabric closet, 

I used a small amount of my material to fill in some color gaps.

There are some great vintage pieces in the quilt!

I love the teal binding, I think it really makes the quilt pop.

It finished at 60 x 60.

I hope I win! Ha

Flower and Feather

I made this Shriners quilt earlier in the year. It was machine 

quilted by one of our guild members, Joy Cannon. 

She did a wonderful job on the quilting.

She loved the black spaces on this quilt and new 

right away she wanted to make some feathers,

and flowers. Joy does all the machine quilting on our 

Shriners quilts and when she is finished a few 

of the guild members sew the binding on.

 I happened to get my own quilt to finish, this was a good 

thing because I had forgotten to take a picture of this quilt.

Most of the material I used in this quilt came from the guilds scrap closet.

Some beautiful things can be made from scrap!

Red and Black

This is my October Shriner's quilt. 

I have forgot to take pictures of a few of my Shriner's but this is the 10th one for this year.
