The 12 days of Christmas Part 5

Everyone needs washcloths. I was able to get these at Wally for a reasonable price for a set of 4. So far I have customized 3.
What about my dear friends, anything going on in terms of creating good useful but affordable Christmas gifts?

New Rug

Finally finished a rug for my daughter. Now we all have one plus the donated  one. I am going to take a break from these for awhile. I so love making them but they consume alot of my time.

Paper Piecing

I am still practicing paper piecing with my scraps. I am determined to get this technique right! I will use these blocks for scrap quilts.
Anyone else trying to perfect a technique?

Mini Wall

My Mini Wall has a new addition.
Anyone else have any new mini's in their life?

Happy Scrappy Spring

My first Row from Kaaren's BOM is complete. Lots of fun making this row. Is anyone else working on this BOM?

A Spring Runner

A different type of runner that I made for my daughter.
Used lots of scraps and the Go cutter and dark thread for the applique.
She likes it so mission accomplished.
Has anyone else created something a little bit different from the usual?

The 12 days of Christmas Part 4

I wanted to add a little something to these gloves so they do not seem so plain.

I am only making the 12 days of Christmas for my nieces this year.
They are getting older and honestly, it is a bit time consuming to come up with good useable but cost effective gifts.
What about my dear blog friends, have you whipped up anything for the holidays yet?

Birthday Quilt update

I blogged about a birthday quilt I was making for my niece on March 10th.
Well this quilt is a yuck yuck!
I did not paper piece it enough on the seam line and many of the stitches came out as I was quilting it. It is not suitable for a child so I am just going to finish it up as an exercise mat for those days when I do exercise. LOL
Lesson learned: Use more fabric at the seams when paper piecing.
Anyone else make boo boos out there?

A spring topper

I have only used my wedge ruler 2 or 3 times and in need of a round topper I decided to make a wedge topper for my round coffee table.
Oh my , how I love this! I can see myself making tons of things with this concept. Has anyone else made anything with their wedge ruler?

Baltimore Liberty

Finally after months of detailed applique work, I have completed the first Baltimore block from P3designs..
I am not making the whole quilt, just certain blocks. I enlarged this block so that it is a wall hanging size.
I do have a dilemna. I am at a loss as to whether I should quilt the appliqued parts?

I already quilted this wall hanging but I do not like how the applique parts look. Could they still be quilted or should I leave them as is?
