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!

Beautiful Laminate from Sis Boom

I've always wanted to try out laminate fabrics, but just never got around to getting any. Then Jennifer Paganelli of Sis Boom sent me some beautiful laminate fabric from her Honey Child fabric line. How awesome! I am so nervous about cutting into it because it's just so pretty! I have a bunch of ideas flying around in my head on what to use it for. It's so hard to choose which one I will do first!

Have you worked with laminates before? Do you have any tips? Favorite patterns?


Jennifer also has a super cute book out (that is on my wish list). Since I have 2 lil girls this would be awesome. It has 21 sewing projects for lil girls. Click on the book image to get a sneak peek of the projects.
