A new year of projects...

Well I actually finished this at the quilt retreat but it was a gift for Dawn and Crystal they both had girls. I didn't want to show the picture until they got it so here it is. It was fun and crazy all at the same time I think when I make one again that I will do things a little different and it will go smother but I really do like making bags it was really fun to see how they turn out and a little addictive!!!
Here is my Christmas tree skirt that I made it different on both side I just haven't finished the binding all the way. Its fun because it matches our stockings I made last year and the table runner. I was excited that this year's moda Christmas line was the same color as last!!! I got the idea from crazy mom quilts blog but I pretty much made up the pattern!!!

This year I am determined to use my stash since its quite large, so I am trying to make things with what I have. I have a couple projects already started, this one is for Alex its called a stack & wack quilt and is quite interesting how you cut it. At quilt guild they showed us how to make it. But I need alittle help so thats on the back burner for now.

This Quilt I am so excited about I saw it on Crazy mom quilts HERE
there is a link for the pattern and this is completely from scraps. Shes got alot more done then I do but I'm just getting started and this is one of those on going projects so I'm not in any hurry.

I also have started another project I'm working on but I dont have a pic yet but I'll post it later!!Anyways I hope everyone has a great new year of creativity and inspiration.
Happy New Year

More finished projects.....

So I finally finished Alex's wall hanging can you believe it... I know it only took me a year oh well I've actually had it quilted and finished for a while I just hadn't bound it yet and so on the way to Utah I finished it... I'm slowly finishing my projects one at a time but the problem is that I keep adding more projects to the list!!

This is the rag quilt that I made for my cousin Cassandra she's having a little girl, were so excited. I got this kit at one of the quilt shops in town except there wasn't enough amterial for 3 of the big squares so I used some chennel I had left over instead and I think it turned out okay.... This is a baby boy recieving blanket I made I loved the material and had to get it. Katie and I learned how to do the corners perfect at the quilt retreat and we are going to put a little tutorial on how to do it, its so much eaisier then the way I was doing it and they turn out awesome!!!!
I made this reversable apron for our quilt guild apron challenge it was alot of fun to make.
These quilts are the ones my mom made for my cousin they turned out so cute and the quilting Janet did was so cute. We picked out the red fabric for my cousin becasue she really likes red I think they turned out so awesome and she loved them!!

Almost Forgot...

I've been reorganizing my fabric and I put it in this long tub so I could see it all really good! I'm sure you cant believe that I have more fabric than just this tub..... =)..... =) .....hehehe
I have my flannel in a different tub. Alex loved climbing on the tub he thought that I did it just for him!!!!



Quilt Retreat

This is the place that we had the quilt retreat, it's a back view but it was huge. The place was completely remodel and their was three floors. I had such a great time I was so glad Katie came it just made it so much more fun. I really miss our fun sewing days we had. Below our a couple projects that we finished. I'll let Katie talk about her's mine is the witch on the left. It's a buggy barn pattern and it was quite interesting technic in cutting and piecing. You stack all fat quarters on top of each other and cut out the witch with a pattern on top and then you move different pieces to the bottom so all of the witches are different. It took me a little bit to figure out but it turned out cute.... Its hard to tell but the witches legs are dangling. I would defenitly do a pattern like this again at least next time will know what to do.
I had other projects but they are gifts so I cant show them until I give them away so I will show them in a little bit. I also made an apron that I just finished but I haven't taken pic's of it so I'll get those on later...
This was the view I dont know if you can tell but in the background the Teton Mountians are there!!
We had the whole first floor setup with table's and sewing machines and cutting boards. It was so cool to see everyones projects they were working on there are alot of talented ladies in the guild.
