Brook's Quilt - or finally a quilt

Brook has wanted a quilt since she moved in with us, but I tried explaining that it took me 15 years to make my dad a quilt, I probably wasn't going to be able to just whip her one out.

Well I found a design someone had posted on facebook to be real inspiring, so I found a way to use up some blocks I had, plus cut into some cute fabric.

 Here is Mochi while I was putting the binding on.  She would NOT get off of the quit!

And here is the quilt finished.  The darker blue fabric has French bread and macaroons on it.  I called this Quilt "finally" a quilt since has been asking for one for almost 3 years.

I used 2.5" blocks, and then the solid blue & macaroon blue were 8.5" x 4.5".  I think this pattern could be fun to do with certain colors too.

My heart Quilt

One of, if not the first quilt I finished was for my grandma.

 I think I have shared it here before, but here it is again.

It has the only thing I have ever finished cross stitch on.   (and I think when I did it I winged it).  But it was in 2000.

Well it's been a few years, and been washed a few times, and wasn't sewn the best, so it's started to fray quilt a bit in some spots.  So my grandma had asked me if I could patch it up.  I am not sure how I will, but I am going to try.

BUT she doesn't want to be without her quilt, she loves it so much.  Well I didn't want her to be without one either, so I made her a second one.

I used blue because I used blue in her first quilt, and purple because that's my favorite color.  So I told her she always has my heart with her.

It wasn't a difficult quilt to make, but definitely outside of my norm, because of all the white, even though it's all scrappy, there is a LOT of white.  But I really wanted the heart to pop.

This was finish 4 of 4 for the year.

Kitchen set

For my swap from LAST YEAR (2016), December, she didn't want a mini quilt, but had some other these types of things pinned on pinterest.  So I made her coasters, a microwave cozy and a cup cozy.

You can't see it in the picture, but the cup cozy has elastic so she can use it on a bigger cup if she needs to.  

Productive day

The scrapbooking store does the craft nights & days, but we haven't been able to come since October because of our busy schedule.  But I was able to finally, and I got A LOT done!  12 hours of uninterrupted sewing, you bet I got a lot done!

Christmas ornaments, I just need to add buttons to the middle

Christmas themed Coasters.  I had a fat quarter of christmas prints, and decided this would be a good use for them.

And a bunch more microwave cozies.  I found I can make 6 microwave cozies with one bobbin on my featherweight.

And this wasn't even everything.  These are just the things I can share ;)

Nightmare before Christmas

I made one of my good friends a quilt about 7 years ago. But her husband stole it from her (how dare he!) she even made him a quilt, but she was still quilt-less.  She likes nightmare before Christmas, so I made her this quilt.  

Scraptacular

I have been working on this quilt for so long I completely forgot I had named it scraptacular.  I was going through blog posts to see when I had posted about it and such.  

The last time was April 2014! I finally got to the point recently where I wanted it finished.  I decided to send it to one of my good friends because I was making her another quilt, and I didn't want her family to steal her quilt.  So this became a family quilt.  And one of the neat things, is that I think there is fabric from each of her kids quilts in this.
