Lucille...another pattern!

My post-retirement plan is to work in quilting....somehow!  Anything but math teacher....LOL.

So I've been drafting and writing patterns that are easy to do a pre-cut friendly.  When I sew, I like it to be mindless....not too complicated, very little room for error.  With that in mind, I can show a little quilt that is made from fat quarters...Lucille.



I quilted a panto called Rosebush on it....


Anyhow, as soon as it is bound and photographed, the pattern will be available.  ;-)  More are in the queue...

Happy quilting!

New Baby Quilt...

I have been super busy this last month making baby quilts, mug rugs, and trying out a new pattern.  All things considered, I've been quite productive.  This is the finished baby quilt from Lakehouse's Pam Kitty fabric.  Rebecca pieced the blocks and I quilted it.  It is for sale in my Etsy shop...




I've decided that I need to plow through my stash of fabric and make some cutie-pie items for Etsy.  A few of us were going to rent a shop space at a local crafts/antique shop, but they suddenly closed!  Ack....I now have lots of items that need to find homes.  I'll post more on this later this week when I show off some of my mug rugs...LOL.  I made about 80 of them in the last month....Here is just one style...


I love the black and yellow combo.  I don't usually buy anything but Kona at Hobby Lobby, but I loved this floral print.  I added a few of my own black and whites and voila!  I have six of these I'll list in my Etsy shop....

Anyhow, I have to go cook dinner...Mom is coming over tonight.  Happy quilting to you all!
