Fall-o-veen

I have an event this weekend!

The pictures are both links to the facebook event.  I know I am going to busy this week making some 

Table runners

I don't know how it's been so long since I have posted! Life gets so busy that I don't have time to sew let alone post!

I have some halloween table runners that need some Christmas backs, so I put up the designs on my wall to see which one I liked better.

I kind of like them both, but lean towards the second because of the spacing with the white.

Falloween - first craft fair of the season

I am excited for my first craft fair this weekend! I have been preparing for craft fair season all year!  I did not make my goal of 10 microwave bowl cozies each month, but I did make quite a few.

I also used my cricut to out/make new price tents, that I hope will look good.

I also made a bunch of new pot holders!

Here's to a successful weekend (it's 3 days). I will share pictures once I get my set up done!

Fabric Coasters

I have a lot of 5" squares, so I have been trying to find things to do with them.  I thought I would make coasters!

These are sets of 4.  They're not 100% waterproof, but I like them, and they are so cute!

Spools Quilt

This is not all the blocks just some of my recent ones.  You can kind of see what I have been working on! a lot of pinks!!

This puts me at about 200 blocks!!

Earbud pouches

I went a little crazy cutting out earbud pouches. .

So I had to sew them all up!!

Here are some of the beauty and the beast ones I made.

These are the Mulan ones I made.

These are the doctor who ones.

And I am not sure if you can tell these are the larger size.

I just need to put keychain rings or clips in these for my craft fairs!

Shower gifts

My brother in law is getting married in October. And I decided to make a lot more of the gifts I give.

For the shower for his fiancée, I made her some potholders.  (the whisks one is just one for my craft fairs).

I hope she liked them!  I did not make the potholders.  I bought them!

I also made her this shirt.

College set

I had two students that I have known since they were freshman (and they are twins) that invited me to their graduation party.  I didn't want to show up empty handed!  I could have just gotten gift cards, but I wanted something unique! 

So I made ear bud zip pouches (from dogundermydesk) and a larger sized one also.

Then I made them each two microwave bowl cozies.

They both enjoyed them!  I wish I would have though to take a picture of the inside.  For the Zip pouches I used fabric that had Eiffel towers on them.

Tee-shirt Quilts

Tee-shirt Quilt

A friend lost her dad a few years ago.  Her mom gave me some tee shirts that has been her dads.  And I made them into a quilt.

Here are some pictures of the quilting I did

I also pieced the back (but not from my stash)

Border

This is what I got done at the Thursday group I have joined at the library. 

Here is a sampling of the border on my design wall.  I don't normally like to do borders, because when I get a quilt top done, I just want to finish it! But the quilt this is going on, needed to be a little bit bigger.

Scrappy trips

 I finished my two scrappy trips quilts in April.  I needed to use up two bobbins that had purple thread on them (I also need to buy more bobbins!)  So these were perfect.  I used up whatever I had at home to make the back.

The quilting actually didn't take long.  I think it's because I usually make bigger quilts.  But I got this one quilted in under and hour.  (That does not include loading it)

I did wavy lines going the same direction as each block.  Something different than a meander!

Baby Blue quilt

Here is the finished Baby blue quilt.  I am very happy with it!

Here is the little boy it was for and his family!

Teal bow ties

This is how I know I have been sewing up a storm, the bow tie blocks are multiplying!  I currently have 60!

Sewing up a storm

Minnie and I have come to an arrangement while I am cutting fabric.  She lays next to me and "helps".

While I am sewing it is a different story.  Her and Earl both want to help me.

I finished a quilt top, but wanted to make it a little bit bigger, so I am making a border that needs a lot of HSTs (half square triangles).  So I spent a lot of time cutting and sewing.

Minnie has taken a lot of my time also, she just wants to cuddle!

Quilting

I put this on the long arm on Tuesday, even though it was a warm out, but the garage is definitely cooler than outside!

I used blue variegated thread.  The quilt took almost 4 bobbins.  I really need to get some more bobbins, but I think thread needs to come before that! I am definitely going through a lot more thread with the long arm!

I chose to do a meander design.

Backing

Here's the back for the blue log cabin quilt.  I added the row and since I couldn't find a piece big enough for the back I added a little.

Blue log cabin

I started this log cabin in 2015! I had many of the parts done, but putting it together was difficult because of how large it is.

I tried to lay it out to see how much backing I would need.  Earl decided to help.

Baby blue quilt. . .still quilting

This has been sitting on the long arm for far too long :/ Since I have always rented space on a long arm, I finish quilts shortly after putting them on.  But I was not able to do that for this one.

Then my machine got piled up with stuff.  Even though it was a little warm (my machine is in the garage) I got the quilt finished! Now to get it squared up and put the binding on.

Kitties are multiplying!

I decided to make some cats that face the left and some that face the right.

Here's how they look around the middle block.
