Happy St Pat's Day

 I noticed that I forgot to post the finished orange House Quilt. I really like how it came out. 

I pieced the back to make it big enough, and luckily it looks pretty straight!

Then I used an idea I saw on the Googler, to make the quilting stitching look like wood grain. 

I think it was pretty successful. And not as hard as I thought it might be. You just have to be one with the design! LOL!

This one is just a throw size, about 48'x60" so not bad at all to quilt on my lyric.

I'm not too sure that it actually looks like wood, but it looks good to me! Here's the photo I saw on pinterest that made me think to use my tree fabric from my stash. 

And here's mine. 

Another great finish! And here's what's next. 

February Round Up

I've been working on this little cutie.

I saw a pattern on Pinterest that used a tree fabric with houses, and thought it was a great idea, especially since I've had this bit of Michael Miller tree fabric for a really long time.

I like the way it's comignm along.

There was the I-80 One Stop Shop a week ago, so DD and I loaded up and went out there.

She really liked these hero fabrics.

And such a cute quilt too!

And such a cutie holding the quilt too!

Lots to see at the sale.

I really liked this fabric line.

And of course the Nolting folks were there.  Not quite ready to pull the trigger on that big of a purchase just yet. But it's fun to look and test drive new cars...ereeerr, I mean long arm machines.
