First project of the new year. I found this at a local quilt store yesterday....yes my first quilt store purhase of the year. I would have purhased on the 1st if any one had been open. Why stores think we don't want to shop while all those football games are on is beyond me. You will love making these little card holders. Fast and cute!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

FINDING THE SPIRIT

My daughter needs a new stocking, and I wanted to try machine quilting one instead of piecing. I am rather pleased. The stocking part is muslin and the cuff is silk, quilted with sulky and wool batting. I haven't felt "in the spirit" of the season but this project helped.

HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM

I have only made two but I'm already anticipating needing an intervention or a rehab program very soon. I used pieces of my husbands old shirts. Really, the original pattern picture is MUCH better.

RUDOLPH HAD A COUSIN

I know, I know. How can I be taken as a serious quilter when I spend my time making Zipper Critters by Indygo Junction. Well I'm here to tell you ...THESE ARE SO FUN! I think they will make unique tooth fairy pillows( kids still do this don't they?) There is a pocket where the zipper is. Leave a note or poem, a key, some cash, packet of needles. This is just one size. Not into dogs? there are cats rabbits and pigs. Enjoy!!!!

A QUILT NEEDS A PILLOW

I really intended to make a traditional Christmas pillow, but something came over me. It was proabably that unconventional pop art quilt. You must admit it is VERY merry and bright.
