Bibs

Spring Break is coming to an end.  The house is clean, the egg hunt was a success and much fun was had theses past days!

Sewing, not really!  I know, right?

I did mange to make a few bibs. 

There is a great pattern from  Nana Company. 

HERE

I did make it a little bigger and longer because even if you are 2 1/2 chocolate ice cream comes can drip!

I traced the pattern on to cardboard.  

Puller out some pre quilted white fabric and hit the scrap and orphan block pile.

I love the pre quilted fabric. I just machine quilted the bib on the same lines!

It held up great in the wash.

Check out her tutorial. They are fast, fun and useful!

Have a wonderful weekend and I hope you do something you love.

It's That Time Again!!

I spent way too much time looking at Google Images but, cleaning not sewing, come on!!

First do not forget to put on your lipstick. No need to give up your appearance as you clean!

Wear rubber gloves to keep you hands soft, clean and ready for sewing.

and having pretty supplies makes the job fun!

Get the whole family involved!

Yes, even the tiniest one can help!

Blast that music baby!

Whew, I will be pooped!

But a girl can dream.....

and if she is really good all her dreams can come true!!

Oh joy to a clean house!!

See everyone in a week!!

Another Finish

Slowly the quilts I started in 2013 are getting finished.

Oh for the days when I can take my quilts out for a photo shoot and not in the house!!

My Coral Quilt

The Coral Quilt went from this:

to this flimsy

To this warm and crinkly quilt fresh from the dryer.

Have a wonderful weekend. I hope you get to do something you love.

Happy Birthday

What do you mean my daughter is 30 today!!

Wow, did that time fly.

Happy Birthday Sweetie~

We all love you.

A Finish

It has been very quite on the sewing front the last week or so, many birthdays to celebrate.

Little T turned 5!

Wow how time flies!!

He had a bowling party and then home for a family party. 

Our little man is growing up!

All I manged to do this week was a binding! 

 But I am thrilled it is done.

My Barn Quilt.

This is the first quilt that I have made that I sent to a long-armer.  I had no idea how to quilt this quilt. I am thrilled with how it turned out!

We choose a pretty over all pattern and she even used different color threads on the back to match my fabrics!

I added a scrappy binding to tie it all together

Now it is off to hang in it's new spot.

Happy Sewing!. 

My Reversible Quilt

Before I talk about this quilt I would like to thank everyone for helping me with my Hexie search.  You lead me to many great spots! In helping me I hope others were also helped. I now know what I am going to do with my hexie flowers.

But that will be a different post for another day. Thank you!

Now on to today.

A while ago there was a thought that there might be a Peanuts Blog Hop. Unfortunately that did not materialize. So, I decided to go ahead and use the fabrics I had be saving for the project.

I saw this pattern at a quilt shop and just fell in love with it so I quickly bought the fabrics.

This is my kind of quilt, strips!  Thar's all it was, just strips!

In no time the top was done. But I needed a backing. So, what to you know but on that same day I found the Berenstain Bear Fabric.

This would combine my two loves.

I ador anything Peanuts and I love the Berenstain Bear Books.  They were read over and over to my three girls and now to my grand-babies. So here she is, my reversible quilt!

Fabrics by Quilting Treasures.

I did not have the heart to cut this fabric. Even if I fussy cut some blocks I would have lost the cute print. So it became a great backing.

Fabric by Moda.

Searching?

I am hoping someone out in blog-land may know what I am looking for...

I have made many Red White and Blue Hexies. Now it is time to make them into .....something.

 I saw on a blog a quilt with red white and blue hexies. She took a square of white fabric and put a hexie flower on the square. She then joined the squares into a quilt. I loved this affect and thought I had saved the picture/pattern. I have looked through all my folders, my favorites, google images, pinterest, flickr, My Feedly, My Bloglovin, My reader list. I have searched individual blogs.

But to no avail.

If anyone has an idea of the quilt/pattern would you please help me?

Thank you so much.

Have a wonderful weekend and do something you love.

Little T is turning 5 on Sunday!  So party time.
