.........and the winner is...........

what do you do when you have just a little time?

I make something small!  There is a lot of satisfaction in being able to do something from start to finish in a weekend.

I digitized the stitching and used my embroidery machine for the stitch out.  I am quite pleased with how it turned out.

I have been wanting to make one of these pin chushions for a while. 

I hope you have some time for something creative soon!

Quilting detail - gorgeous dresden plate

Our guild made this gorgeous queen-size quilt which we donated to the our local "friends of the library" to raffle.......our library has had some major budget cuts, and since we get to meet there free of charge, we wanted to do something to help. I have tickets, if you would like a chance to win it, e-mail me.

If you win it - I will ship it to you, if you aren't close enough for me to bring it to you. $1 for one chance $5 for 6 chances.

A finish

I finished this yesterday.....

I think I like the back better than the front!  I used some blocks I had left over.

So we had a beautiful snow - more than I have seen at once here.

what do you do with ugly fabric?

So this one started out as an ugly fabric design.  Notice the very dated brown calico was my ugly fabric.  It  was transformed by the addition of just a few colors.  The deep red is what makes the most difference in my opinion. It pulls all of the others together.

What do you think?  Have any ugly fabric in your stash? Send it to me and I will see what I can do with it.

New top finished

I just returned from my annual quilting retreat and I am very happy to show you what I accomplished..........

I intend to add some borders to it, so technically it is just the center of a very large quilt. Right now it measures 96 x 144.......
