A Little Different

So this is defiantly something different for me. The wild patterns and the bright colors are not usually my style, but saying that I actually am pretty happy with the outcome. What is life if we don't step out of our element and try new things, we might never find out who we really are.

one step closer!

Well lets start with some great news! I'm engaged to the most amazing man and I could not be happier. So I have included a photo below of us:

This past week I also finished a lap quilt for Trev and I. Well I know we have so many quilts but I just do not know what to do with them but snuggle. I love this one because for the first time I used flannel for the back of an adult quilt. Adults need softness too.

                                                                     Back of Quilt

Now for Melissa's quilt......I am one step closer to finishing this 2 year project. Well it really should not have taken this long but at least it should be done for there 2 year wedding anniversary. I hope they agree it is worth the wait. I just love it and although it is not perfect and I ran into a lot of hiccups it is beautiful and full of love. The picture below is the top and is not complete I still have to put the border on.

                                                               Hope you love it Melis!

Little Quilts

So last week I was lucky enough to have the chance to work at the farmers market and meet a new quilter friend. Well she is pretty fun and we can sure talk about quilting for hours. So she gave me a new pattern to try, called.....the 9 patch. I just could not wait to get home and try it. So I did and I was able to make 2 quilts from it. So here they are....

                                                                  I love Peter Rabbit!

This one is for my niece Maddie. She has been patiently waiting for this for 10 months. Wow I sure do get sidetracked. But I hope she loves it. 

This is almost the same but it does not have the border, the back is blue fleece and the binding is brown, so maybe for a little boy

What a good sport Trevor is, he is always getting called to duty....aka "Quilt Holder". This is a simple blanket. Both sides are really soft and I thought it could be used for either a changing mat of a little blanket for a small child. 

This is the first Quilt that I have ever made that Trevor has said that he REALLY likes it and that it is his favorite. Wow I was surprised for those of you who know Trevor, this means a lot to me. So I am keeping this for when we have a little one. It is nursery rhyme twall. But I will make Trevor a similar quilt more manly. 

This weekend was also very exciting for a couple other reasons. My mother in law let me raid her material stash and let me have anything I wanted. Did she know what she was offering. Wow it felt like Christmas for me, I was in heaven. And with All the cool materials I found I am going to make her a quilt. She is a quilter too but for those of you that think that we only want the quilts that we made you are wrong.... a quilt from someone else is just as special. Also I made myself/Trevor a fall lap quilt for out living room, I just have to put on the binding and then I will post a picture. And I helped my mother in law finish a quilt that she had been working on for a loooooong time and needed that extra push.

And looking back at this post someone has baby on there mind:)
