A finish for January

Well, here it is again, time to get ready for Camp Erin (grief counciling camp for kids). Each child gets welcomed to the camp with a brand new quilt on their bed and at the end of camp the quilt goes home with the child as a reminder that someone cares. A very good friend of mine collects the quilts and distributes them to the camp and every year I try to contribute a few quilts to help them meet their goal of 100. The green camping fabric in this quilt was given to me a couple of years ago by that friend as an "ugly" fabric challenge and this will be the 2nd quilt that has sprung from it. Hopefully some little boy will think it is not ugly at all and claim it as his own.

MINE !

This one was started well over a year ago in the cab of my truck . I had purchased the fabric at a Hobby Lobby on the road and started it, then it got shuffled off into the UFO pile when life got hectic. Well a couple of weeks ago I finished the blocks and got them sewn together, finally got it quilted and put the last stitches in the binding just this afternoon. Guess that is pretty fitting timing since I will be back on the road again by the end of the week.

I got a little more creative in my quilting this time and attempted viney leaves. I like the way it turned out!

been busy busy busy this week testing designs for my friend Connie at -New Items :: Dollarstitch.com. They are so much fun to make ! The taggies have a pocket on the back to tuck a card or cash into for gift giving!

Not nearly as cute in real life as in pictures. Little pests.... this one is such a regular at the cat food bowl I have named him Elmer.

Looks like I have been busy LOL...... no more tops ready for quilting after this cute little cardinal top that my friend Wasineke gave me after I fell in love with it. Just finally got around to getting it quilted and bound, and I still love it !

Orange Crush

I finally did it ! Got brave and loaded this bigger quilt on my Handi Quilter frame and me and the Juki went to work! This is the Orange Crush by Bonnie Hunter. I am wild about how this one turned out !
