My Scrappy Christmas Blocks

with sew much going on, I neglected to post the blocks I made for the Scrappy Christmas block exchange hosted by Beth.
Now to try to combine them so I can make some goodies for my daughter.

Christmas fabric and paper

For mother's day my daughter gifted me with some Sheri Berry Christmas fabric. Well, I found the matching scrapbooking paper! I could not believe it. It was too good a coincidence to pass up. I even saw some Amy Butler paper. Though I no longer make scrap books, I picked it up to use with my Cricut machine. Michaels carries all these kinds of specialty paper.

A Woman's Work is Never done

Update on my Lori Holt quilt.

Alex Anderson Quilt

Needle turn applique all done and ready to be sandwiched.
I love this quilt but I don't know, I think it needs something in the middle???

Kelly's Block

I blogged about this block here.
I wanted to add some applique to it so I used my beautiful William Morris book..
Well everything in the book is made using the machine blanket stitch method and it did not occur to me until I was almost done with this block to enlarge it for needle turn applique.
I am in the process of making the quilt sandwich and I hope that with some free motion quilting and maybe a bit of embellishment here and there, this will acquire the spunk I think is missing.

4 Seasons Holiday Quilt Swap

Another Christmas gift completed. I always wanted to make a themed cathedral windows so I decided to make a Christmas one for my 4 seasons holiday swap partner.
I enjoyed making this so much that I am off to make myself a cathedral windows tote bag.
Here is the tutorial for cathedral windows that require a backing. The tutorial with the backing already made as you go is on my side bar. I like making the one which requires a backing because it is much easier for me. That is the one I made here.

Prairie Moon Quilts -1st step

I blogged about this runner on August 8Th and so far I have the foundation pieced. I used Moda fabric by Blackbird Designs. I did not save the card the fabric came in so I do not know the actual name of the design. Right now I am auditioning fabrics for the applique.
