With Fabric and Thread...

Another Finish from With Fabric and Thread using Vintage Modern, Ruby and Bliss from Bonnie and Camille for Moda

The backing fabric is flannel that I picked up from Joann's for $2.96 a yard!  What a bargain!

Cheers!

Finished!

I've finally completed the Bee in my Bonnet Quilt Along.  Yay!

I had a number of issues quilting this and was so disappointed with my machine which was totally uncooperative.  And of course, I didn't notice the huge hiccup on the bee block until it was quilted, bound, and washed.  Seriously, how could I have missed that?  So, I will rip it out and quilt that area again but I did want to post pictures.

Cheers!

Another Finish!

A made this baby quilt for my nephew and his wife.  They are expecting their second child in June and they know it's a girl!  My great-nephew is two already and he is just adorable so it will be fun to have another newborn around!  Although my nephew and his family live on a Marine base down south but he finishes his tour in October so hopefully we'll see more of them.

So I made this quilt using Birdie by Me and My Sister for Moda.  I followed the pattern from this book, Scrap Basket Sensations by Kim Brackett.  I used a layer cake and was able to use the leftover pieces for the binding.  For the backing, I used a flannel print that says, "I love Mommy and Daddy". 

  This was a pretty simple quilt and it went together very quickly.  Now I need to ship it off!

Cheers!

Squeeee!

I just won a fat quarter bundle (8) of  Art Gallery Fabrics from Rachel at ps i quilt! How exciting!  I saw my name and I thought, nope, must be another Julia, but it is me!  I'm so excited, I've got butterflies.  So Rachel, thank you - thank you - thank you!

Still Rowing...

I completed row 12 - little sewing baskets - I love them!  We're nearing the end of this row along and I truly cannot wait to see the finished quilt!

 
In between, I've been participating in Moda's Friendship Quilt Along.  I've completed 12 blocks so far!  I'm using two rolie polies (Verona and Avignon) supplemented by a few half yard cuts of Verona that I purchased along with the rolie polie.  I haven't decided if I'm going to do all of the blocks yet or just pick and choose. 

I've also been doing the Scrappy Trip Around the World!

 Cheers!
