My Tulip is Quilted

My scrappy tulip block is quilted! Doesn't it look cute? And ya gotta luv a striped binding!




I heavily quilted the red background with a hot pink thread for texture and a little bit of contrast.



I hope my friend likes it! She is getting it tonight!
Happy quilting!

Ichy Sewing Fingers

Hello! I am alive and well out in my real life and I have had some itchy sewing fingers! What's a girl to do? Start sewing that's what! I zipped this little thing together last night.
The truth is I've been wanting to make one of these Scrappy Tulip quilts for a long time. I have seen several of these out in blogland. LeeAnn at Nifty quilts has made a cute one! Girlfriend used a red polka dot, isn't she sassy? This little block is being made as a gift for a friend but I do intend to make a lot more of these blocks so I can make a quilt for my bed.






And guess what I'll be doing tonight! Happy sewing!

Oh Yeah, My Quilt is Here Too!

I almost forgot! My red quilt is here too!

We're Here!

Victoria and Shelly and I are here in Houston at the "Big Show". If you see us, come say "hi"! We've already talked to quite a few quilters and it has been fun! Hey Roseanne, you rocked! Happy quilt showing!

A Pretty Pink Quilt

Finally a finish! To say I have under gone some life changes is an absolute understatement! And as a result I have not had much time to sew. However, I did finally get this cute little pink quilt finished. (And not a minute too soon. I the tiny recipient was born in Dallas, Texas a week ago.) Yipee!




And of course, I pieced the back!
It felt really good to be sewing again. After taking an unintended breather, (Your life falling apart usually makes that happen)I'm back to sewing my brains out whenever possible.




And more exciting news? My girlfriend, Miss V,Is coming to Austin on Wednesday. We are going to Houston for the BIG SHOW on Friday. (Yes, that's right 5 days of quilt stuff together! Yipee!!!) So if you see two tall women (I'm 5'8 and she is 6 ft) with short hair at the quilt show in Houston, it could very well be us. So, come say "HI"! We'd luv to visit ya!
Happy sewing!!!

Another Wednesday

The top is finished. Yeah! Crazy busy with not time to quilt. Rats! Going to try to steal a few moments here and there. Yeah! I've got a plan!
Happy quilting however you can manage!

Happy Labor Day

Happy Labor Day! Can you believe it is September already? My kids have been in school for two weeks already and I still am amazed at how time flies. It has been crazy busy here (both good and bad crazy) and I can't believe how long it has been since I have posted. I may not have been posting but I have found the time to squeeze a little sewing in. Hallaleulia!!
I started out with a few strips.




Put them together.




Then put an inner border on it. It's getting cuter isn't it! I'll border it today (something pieced of course.) And then it will be ready to be quilted.
What a great way to spend a Monday! Happy quilting!
