Crazy Quilt Friday

This block is as done as it is going to get until I'm through quilting it. Then I want to add pearls. Don't you think it needs some pearls?

Happy stitching!

My Flower

Another beautiful flower bloomed this week.

Happy stitching!

I'm sure it was a man. . . .

. . . that thought of this.

If I had designed this I would have put a closet. Granted it would be a small closet but a small closet is better than a shelf. I hated looking at that.

Well, it isn't perfect but I like it better than without the curtain and I think it will look even better with the ladder back in the garage.

Happy stitching!

Crazy Quilt Friday on Saturday

I love the lace over the dark brown fabric.

The silver trim don't look so silvery in the picture.

Happy stitching!

My Flower

Another flower bloomed in my batik garden this week. I love working with the batiks.

Happy stitching!

My Flower

Started on the batik flowers. Yummy!

I can't stop

I keep seeing all these wonderful hexagon quilts and I want to make them all. I need to sew faster. lol I have all the flowers for the Grandma's Garden I'm working on now.

I want to make one using all my batiks.

I'm sure I will add a few more batiks.

Then I started cutting for the I Spy hex. I don't know if these will be centers to flowers or I will just have hex quilt.

Then Linda just had to start a Christmas Grandma's Garden so as I'm coming across Christmas fabrics that would work I'm pulling those.

Will this ever end? I hope not. :)

Happy stitching!!

Bad designs

Everyone has listened to me whine about these embroidery designs since I started on them. This one was the worse one. 

I backed the machine up several times and every time it just would not stitch that area. I wanted to cry. After I finished the design I kept looking at it and finally decided I might could save the block.

This is the block after I worked on it with my regular machine. I know it isn't perfect but at least I made the block usable. I don't think anyone else will notice but I will always know about the mistake in the block

I will not be purchasing anymore designs from this company.

Happy stitching!

Crazy Quilt Friday

I made this block this week then moved on to embellishing my other blocks. Now all they need is the embroidery and beads. The velvet was very slippery to sew. I don't know how seamstress do it. I'm never sure if my fabrics are suppose to match or not. This whole crazy quilt thing confuses me.

Have a great weekend!

Cute Crocs

Remember these blocks. I did not enjoy making them as they were not digitized very well.

I added 3 more blocks and I will add sashing so that Aiden will have a little quilt.

With the sashing.

Somehow I managed to not cut the blocks all the same size. I could have took the top apart and cut the blocks all the same but I decided I wouldn't. This quilt top has been such a pain in the neck since the beginning I decided to leave it. I can only imagine what is going to happen when I start quilting it.

Happy stitching!

One Flower Wednesday

These are the last 3 flowers for this quilt. In fact, I've been playing with laying them out on the background and I think I have too many.

I will start making the batik flowers next. I am so excited to start cutting. lol

Lil Peanut

Aiden is just a lil peanut and he needed a onesie to reflect that.

Happy Stitching!

I won!!!

Laurel at Lively Stitches had a batik giveaway. Eight 1/4 yard cuts and I WON!!! Thank you, Laurel.

I know exactly what I am going to do with these fabrics. I see a batik grandma's garden blooming.

Happy stitching!
