Nine Patch doll quilt: completed

This cute pattern is by Kathleen Tracy of: Country Lane Quilts, titled Nine Patch Doll Quilt from April 2012. This is actually the 2nd little quilt that I have made from this pattern. I've seen some really cute antique doll cradles displaying reproduction or antique doll quilts. They are so cute! Hoping someday to own one myself. Please continue reading for this doll quilt's stats, and for comments.

Happy 14th Blogoversary!

Wow, today is this blog's 14th blogoversary. Heartfelt thanks and appreciation to all of you followers. I've connected with so many quilters, stitchers and crafters. There is always something new to enjoy. You all amaze me with all of your creativity and kindness. I have also learned a lot about quilting, an adventure that I did not begin until around 2013-2014. Thank you so much! This post makes a total of 991 for my blog. The future looks nothing but bright for the coming years of blogging.

Something Wicked Blog Hop: Gourdon

Meet Gourdon. He is all ready for Halloween and Autumn with his gourd head and cute attire. He is my project for the Something Wicked Blog Hop, hosted by Carol of Just Let Me Quilt. Do you think that he is OK to sit out in the room any time of the year? His face is hand-painted {a skill that I am still trying to improve at}. The entire doll is coffee-stained. Gourdon is actually the 6th doll that I have made from a Sanker Studios pattern. Do you ever make any dolls? This is my 990th blog post- getting close to that 1,000 mark! Thank you all who visit/comment and/or follow. You truly make me smile. Please continue reading for comments, and for a full list of all of the blog hoppers.

Square in a Square Star doll quilt

This is a doll quilt that I recently made for a Facebook group project. The pattern is called Square in a Square Star, and it is designed by Kathleen Tracy. With the exception of the border fabric, the rest was all from my stash. Please continue reading for comments, and this doll quilt's stats.

Ombré: completed quilt

Here is the completed Ombré quilt for my local church program. It will be gifted to a new mother. The fabrics are nearly all from my stash, and are varying shades and tones of the color blue. To see the back of this quilt, and for comments, please continue reading.

Modern Crows: update

Here are the completed two Modern Crow blocks, designed by:Sasha's Quilts on Etsy. I have added wide borders, since this is going to be a table runner. There will be a third {center} block that is in the works. There are three Crows included in the pattern, and these are numbers 2 and 3. They are foundation paper pieced, which is a skill that I am still learning. There is just something about these patterns that is eye-catching. Modern and kind of simple, and very pretty design. Most of the fabrics used are from my stash as well, so yay for that. Are you currently working on any quilt blocks?

Contrary Wife small quilt

This little quilt is the Summer Challenge from: Kathleen Tracy of Country Lane Quilts. The name of the pattern is The Contrary Wife. Mine finished at 19" square, and is made of my Civil War era stash, so yay for stash busting! Due to some health reasons, I have not sewn or quilted much lately. Feeling better and getting back to finishing a larger quilt very soon. Please continue reading for comments, and more info about this quilt.

For the Birds Blog Hop!

Welcome to another day on the For the Birds Blog Hop. My project features Modern Crows, a three options pattern designed by: Sasha's Quilts on Etsy. Don't you just love the pattern's design? The designs on their backs look like little quilts. We have lots of crows here in the South. You know, they really are quite large birds! Interesting fact, a gathering of crows is called a murder. Here is one finished and most of another block. Planning on making them into a table runner. Life got in the way again, so stay tuned for the finished top and quilt. As always, thank you for visiting my space in the blogging world. I love your comments. Be sure to visit all of the other bloggers to see their fun projects.
