Six Chair Cushions Done, and a Fun New Quilt Kit
Well, I got six cushion covers made and stuffed with foam. I am waiting on more foam squares before I make any more. If the thickness is different from the ones I have made so far, I will have to recalculate my measurements. I figured it was better to wait rather than make more covers…

Bats and Boos- All But Border
My Bats and Boos quilt is all but finished. I just need to add an outer border and send it off to be quilted. I will love using this next Halloween. I am really happy with how it turned out and how fun it was to make. The pattern is free on Fatquartershop.com. This center…

Bats and Boos
A year or so ago the Fatquarter Shop did a Halloween Mystery Quilt sew-along they called Bats and Boos. The pattern is completely free on their website. I didn't get a chance to make it at the time the sew-along took place, but I have kept it in the back of my mind as a…

Haunted Halloween, a Finish!
Wooooooooo, it's a great feeling to get this spooky little wall hanging done! The project was sponsored by Fat Quarter Company, and the block patterns are completely free. It was an easy and fun project to work on. I hope I can get it out to be quilted (and back!) in time to use it…

4th of July Home Decor
I have been having fun pulling out my 4th of July decor. This little quilt is one of my favorites, a pattern called Endearments by Betsy Chutchian. I looked for a link to the pattern, but could not find one. It may be out of print. Betsy has a unique Civil War Reproduction style that…

Spirals Quilting Design Pattern
Sometimes being a blogger has some real advantages. I posted a photo last week of my most recently finished table topper, a pattern by Carried Away called Summer Breeze. The pattern is wonderful, but the design my quilter chose for the quilting really set off the design and was so in keeping with the breezy…

Can we just take a minute and admire the quilting on this little 26" square piece? The quilt is Summer Breeze by Carried Away. I do not know the name of the swirly quilting design, but it could not be a more perfect choice. My plan is to use this in my kitchen during spring…

I Needed Another Christmas Table Runner….Not
Sometimes the creative urge cannot be denied. I have had this sweet pattern for a Buffalo Check Christmas table runner for a year or two, and have been meaning to make it. I used scraps from my stash and yardage of a white, taupe, and darker tan. The pattern is by Carried Away Quilting and was…

Squirrelly Girl Table Runner Quilted
This is the second table runner I recently received back from my quilter. I used a fabric line by Bunny Hill for Moda. It is so gosh darn cute! For the runner itself, I think I just had a honey bun of 1 1/2" strips. Sure wish I had bought more of that fabric collection.…

Buffalo Check Table Topper
This little Halloween table topper is "Buffalo Check Table Topper", by Carried Away. It comes in a Christmas design as well, included in the same pattern. The Christmas version has little wrapped presents rather than pumpkins. It is always fun to put out new seasonal decor, even though my table runner cupboard is starting to…
