I Love Fall

My favorite season. Fall in NC is so beautiful.

Its finished!!

I've worked on this quilt off and on for several months now. I've made small art quilts in the past just figuring out what to do as I went along. A very good friend of mine moved away last spring and I worked on this with another friend as a going away gift. I thought I would have completed it a lot sooner, but it became obvious that I didn't really know what the heck I was doing when it came to making a big quilt. I enjoyed working on it and did learn a lot in the process. I definitely learned not the use the quilt batting that's 2 inches thick. It drew the quilt right up. Eek! The quilt started out huge, going off the edges of my dining room table. Once completed, it was about a third of the size. The handprints are all the right size as I sewed around them.

This quilt is hand sewed and has handprints of all the kiddos in our playgroup.

May the Force Be with You

I haven't updated in a while and thought it would be fun to share some of my latest projects.

My son turned 5 this past October and wanted a Star Wars themed birthday. I made him this Yoda tshirt to wear to his party. I have lots of fat quarters and was wanting to use some of my fabric stash. I thought it turned out pretty cute and I received a thumbs up for my effort.
