Last Post for 2013

Here are a few things that I've been working on this last week and something that needs finishing.

Late Christmas present for my mother in law.

(The points will have little bells on them when it's finished.)

Schnitzel and Boo Mini Quilt Swap.

Stitching by the fire. :-)

Backing

Finished.

Late Christmas present for my mother.

I was going to make her a Dorthy doll, but my felt has gotten lost in the mail.

Candy Dish pattern by Jaybird Quilts

Fabric: In From the Cold by Kate Spain by Moda

So happy with how my points met up!

Both pillow tops.

I finally made my first Frosted Pumpkin Travel Hoop bag.

Fabric: Crafty Chloe by Heather Ross and Kona Solid Sprout.

Giant Dresden of Awesomeness!

I am making this dresden for Patchwork for Paws. It is a charity scrap quilt that will go to keeping wounded veterans warm while they train with their service dogs at K9s for Warriors.

What a year it's been! Here's hoping that 2014 is much better!

I Won the Happiness Key Feb Challenge!!!!!!

Oh my gosh (as my 2 yr old, Tora, says). I am so excited! My day has definately been made! My Liberty Sweetie Pie grab bag won!

Happy Dance Video.

Join us for Marches Challenge. It is a Needle Case.

I thought it was about time I updated my blog. I am able to type decently again. My finger is healing and I'm getting more movement in it. No more stitches or steri-strips. Just waiting for the dermabond to fall off, which is aggrivating. I never realized that my stupid mistake would cost me going to occupatinal therapy to "teach me how to care for the scar and keep movement in my finger." Ugh...oh well. Off to better news, my latest quilty adventures.

I am following along with Pat Sloan and Emilie Richards in a quilt mystery and novelini. I am excited, but need to get caught up. Things have been a lil slow in the sewing room lately.

To find out more about Pat Sloan's quilty mystery just go to her blog.

I just finished my Feburary Challenge: Create a tote bag with a pie on it. I made the front panel using scrap fabric I had laying around and used stitches for the sun's rays and a few kanzashi flowers. The other fabric is from St Jude fabric collections.

I had also completed my Liberty Sweetie Pie grab bag because I wasn't sure if I would be able to complete my Mud Pie tote before the deadline. I used "Sweet Liberty" fabric by Pat Sloan. I am going to use this to keep spare clothes, diapers, and wipes in my truck for my youngest two kiddos. It is a reversible bag.
