Tinkerbell D9P


Here's this weekend's work on a very special quilt for a very special girl who adores Tinkerbell.

In the bright sun, I was not able to capture the vibrant colors of the quilt.


Here's a shot of the sun-lit backside:


And...
Thanks to the handiwork of my Aunt Mary,

We have a personalized touch -


I hope Jasmine loves it!

It's not quite done as of this posting.
Here's the quilt on the table freshly basted:
My nifty new scissors I picked up in Paducah this year, made by Kai, cut thru this big roll of flannel & cotton batting:
Here, you can see the scissors, too:
The binding will match the small green squares!

9Patch for my Aunt...Oh-my-god-it's-PINK

I think that this is the pinkest I've ever sewn.
It's bright and oh-my-god-it's-pink pink.
She's going to love it!
The flannel on the back has stars - very warm and cozy.
I hope this quilt will see many naps....

A four pack of quilts back from the quilter!

Just back from the quilter today are my four latest creations:
"the orange project," bubbles and patches, 9patch cowboys, and another plainspoken. I think the plainspoken is a design that will be with me for a while.
These were, again, quilted by Melear Fabrics. Great job, again!
All four have flannel on the back to make them warm and luxurious.


There is orange flannel on the backside of this one. It's a Denyse Schmidt design.
Each piece is crooked! It made me cry a little bit.


There is light-green flannel on the back side of this one! It was a quilt-kit from Connecting Threads, made with 2.5 jelly rolls.

The 9-patches were given to me from a friend... you can't see it too well on this photo, but some of the fabric prints have cowboys on it! Yeha! I put forest green flannel on the back.


This last one has chocolate flannel on the back. This plainspoken is starting to be a fav! It's all in the palatte!
These four will be christmas gifts!!!!!
Last year, I took the handmade pledge and failed miserably! I was able to do about 10% of the gifts by hand.
This year, I've taken it again, and have pledged for 100%.
I hope I make it to 60%!

Christmas, I'm ready for you!
