Crochet and yarn

I made Lacy a few pony tail holders. These are so easy. This is the tutorial.

I always wanted to learn to make center pull balls with my yarn and I finally learned, thanks to this tutorial.

Happy stitching!

2012 Goals

For several weeks I've been thinking about what I want to accomplish in 2012. I really want to get the quilt tops in my closet quilted and I want to finish the projects that are just laying around. I'm not saying I won't start any new projects because I know I will. In no particular order:

I want to add a red border to this panel and scallop the edges. I have never did scalloped edges but I think it will be slow sewing.

I also want to do something with this panel.

I want to finish my hexagon quilt but first I have to take it apart.

Be Attitudes - finish Oct, Nov and Dec blocks.

Boot Bash - finish Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov and Dec blocks on mine and Lacy's quilts.

Quilt the following quilts

• Aqua 10 Minute block quilt
• Kites
• Pretty 'n Pink
• Sunbonnet Sue
• Lazy Hearts 
• Ribbit

Things That I Love - need about 100 more blocks
Trains - I have no idea how many more blocks I need but I think about 30

As slow as I am that should keep me busy next year.

Happy New Year!

I Believe

I finished my I Believe quilt and this is my last finish for 2011. I wish I had finished more but it is what it is. I couldn't decide how to quilt this or what color thread to use, so I just kept it simple.

Happy quilting!

Remember this.

I will start taking my hexagon quilt top apart and turning into a quilt similar to this one.

Have a great week!

Christmas Eve

Be Attitude September BOM

Yes, I know it is December which means I am many months behind on my BOMs.

This is one of my favorite blocks and I think it is because of the vibrant colors and the way I used the same fabric on the left side and across the bottom.

Here it is so far.

I hope to get more blocks finished before the end of the year. I think Lacy will be happy with this quilt. Then I will finish the Boot Bash quilts.

Happy stitching!

Lazy Heart BOM December

I finally had a chance to applique' the Lazy Heart block for Dec.

The more I worked on these blocks the more excited I got. This has been a fun BOM.

Here is Lacy's top.

And mine.

I can't wait to go get backing for the quilts. They finished at 29 1/2" x 37 3/4". I think I will add an outer border.

Thanks, Rhonda, for a great BOM.

Happy quilting!
