New Pattern--sneak peek!

I've been working on this pattern on and off (mostly off) since February.  I got inspired to finish it up so it is now in the quilting stage....and I'm 75% done writing the pattern....it is a long one.  Check it out!


And Rebecca put together a few wayward Granny Square blocks for another baby quilt.  It will go in my Etsy shop tonight...


I'll post more tomorrow.  Maybe I'll have the new quilt quilted...it will be called Buttercup.  I think... ;-)
Happy Quilting!

Yet another baby quilt....

This one was done from some Amy Butler Soul Blossoms fabric I've been hoarding.  The panto is called Spring Fling, I believe.  Easy peasy....I put the top together in an afternoon of sewing and watching the Vikings last week.  There is a pattern on Etsy....here.  I basically copied the pattern from the picture.  I will buy the pattern though...I promise!



And the more detailed, up-close shot....


I love this fabric paired with a natural Kona beige solid.  The Kona has flecks of brown in it...can't remember the name of it, though...Anyhow, I love how it turned out.  It is destined for Goat Feathers and Etsy...

I'm on another one.  Gotta run...Happy Quilting!

More baby quilts...

I made two more baby quilts for Goat Feathers....the first one was from a bunch of blocks I made testing out the Runaround Sue pattern a year ago.... Good Fortune by Kate Spain.  I used a panto called Chamomile.  Love it!

And a sexy, up-close shot....


I had my longarm serviced in Rancho Cucamonga, CA last week.  Fortunately, there is an APQS dealer and service guy, Dave, located right of the I-15.  It is called Dave Make It Sew and he did great job servicing my Freedom.  It runs so well I don't even mind sewing on it!  LOL....My Mom was going down to my sister's house so she dropped in off one day and then picked it up on her way back to Vegas the next week.  Dave was super and got it done in a rush so that I wouldn't have to make a special trip down during Spring Break to pick it up.  What a great guy!  Thanks, Dave....

I really needed it serviced, but didn't want to pack it up and ship it to Iowa for the Spa Treatment.  Dave gave it his Spa Treatment and it just purrs now.... ;-)

I'm quilting another baby quilt today so I'll have pics tomorrow....Happy Quilting!
