Table Runner swap

I participated in a table runner swap on QN and here is what I made. This was my first attempt at a braided runner, as well as the first time I've ever done anything "quilt-as-you-go". I rather enjoyed that aspect of it. I have another kit to do it in Americana fabrics so I'll probably work that up sometime in the near future.

Liberty!

I started this about 3 years ago and life sorta got in the way. I pulled it back out a week or two ago and decided to finish it up!

Hotter Than THAT! Summer Mystery at QN

We the People....

I finished this Preamble to the Constitution a couple of months ago, and someone offered me alot of money for it, so I'm sending this one to a new home and I'll be making a new one for me!

Quilt & Needle Round Robins

I've been participating in a round robin swap on QN for the last couple of months. I'm on my 4th of 5 rounds. I posted my center block earlier. Here are my contributions to the others in the swap so far:

I had this one first so everything added is my addition. I think I'm inspired now to do something in 30s fabrics. This one is going to be really cute!













I added the gold, green, orange, and brown striped border with HST corners












I added the pink floral and white border

The Diaper Bag is complete!!!

Thank GOD! This took way longer than I had planned. (What else is new) but it is done and overall I am pleased with the outcome. I could have probably saved myself time and headache had I used a pattern, but I couldn't find what I liked so I just made it up myself. This was a learning experience for me, so next time I'll change how I do a couple of things. The bag features two front pockets made to specs of the Air Force ABU blouse, with proper patches and nametapes as they should be (only change is that I moved up the nametapes 1/2 inch from where they should be, just to give pockets more access), elastic topped pockets on either end with rank stripes, and a long pocket along the back side with a flap cover secured by 2 buckles. Inside is large and roomy with 3 pockets along the back side. It is closed at the top with a double zipper, and has an adjustable shoulder strap.

I finally got a chance to get the group quilt top pieced for one of the ladies in my online group's new baby grandson, due to arrive in a couple more months. We had blocks from all over the country, as well as England and Australia in this group project :)

March Mystery

I'm a tester for Jess's new march mysery quilt, and my fabrics arrived today, so I'll be cutting this today and beginning on the first 2 installments. I LOVE these fabrics, Mark Lipinski's Krakow and Califon.

My first Round Robin

I'm participating in my first round robin quilt swap. This is my center medallion, and my first ever attempt at paper piecing. I must say I really love the accuracy aspect of it.

Pooh quilt for baby Aiden Goering

I finished all but the backside of the binding a few weeks ago and forgot to post it! It is all complete now and will be delivered next Sunday to his mommy :) Aiden arrived on Valentines Day!

Cross-stitch bib for Jacob

I love these bibs so much better than regular "tie" ones. They slip on so easily, and since they are a bit larger, they protect clothes better. I have a tough time finding them though. I finished the caterpillar on this one tonight.

Star in the Storm Mystery Quilt

This is the quilt made from the Quilt & Needle Winter Mystery weekend we did 3 weeks ago. I still need to assemble the blocks and add the borders but here is mine:

Bumper pads for Jacob's crib

Jacob has discovered how to wiggle his way to the end of his crib so I got his bumper pads finished so he didn't keep bumping his head against the rails.

My Wedding Bouquet

I know these are "out of date order" but I was just browsing back posts and realized I never posted some stuff....

I made my wedding bouquet:

Updated Mystery Quilt

I didn't realize I had failed to update on the mystery quilt post of the progress I have made on this one...

Afghan for Marissa Ramirez

I finally got baby Marissa's afghan finished this morning. I nearly had it completed when Jacob made his early arrival so I had to put it on the backburner for a little while.

Jacob's Quilt-Noah's Ark

I finished the top for Jacob's quilt-Noah's Ark. This is from Red Rooster fabrics-Jim Shore's line. I simply love his designs. Perhaps one of these days I'll have a few of his statuettes to go along with the quilt. I got it sandwiched for quilting as well, now I just have to decide how I'm going to quilt it.
