Spirograph

One of the major culprits of my piecing addiction.

This is my version of Julie Pickle's Spirograph quilt.  

I used Moda's Winter's Lane by Kate & Birdie.  I love this fabric.  

Better yet?  Mr. Boss loves it too and said how much he loved it and the pattern.  He does not always love all my quilts as much as I do!

I cannot stress enough how fun this quilt was.  It is an intermediate level pattern, but if I had a day where my boys weren't distracting me, I am positive it can be done in a day.  It only took two short afternoons.

She is debuting it on her blog at Distant Pickles TODAY!  All of the links are there for you to go purchase the pattern so you can make your very own.

I highly recommend you check out her blog to see the other versions also!  Some of us used yardage, a few of us used fat quarters with yardage, and Bree, her blogmate, made one entirely scrappy with a fat quarter bundle!!

Now to decide on my backing and quilting!!!

WIP: Oy Vey

I was about to post that I didn't do much since last week's WIP post, until I did a rundown on Instagram. Oy vey...I've been busy.

Pattern Testing

I finished my quilt top for Bree at Distant Pickles.  I started it just a little over a week ago.

I seriously can't wait for her to release this pattern so I can share this quilt!
  Off to buy backing material this week!

Stars and Stripes

I pulled out my hexagons on Memorial Day.

I have machine appliqued the hexagon rows to the stripes and pieced the stripes for the upper portion of the flag.  Still have to do the much longer rows next!

Group Quilt Block

A special top secret group block.  The kind of quilt that will be awesome.  

Don't worry, you will see more of it because I get to quilt it!

End of the Year Teacher Gifts.

I started these last year, but I finally finished three for the preschool teachers by last Thursday! 

Not a finish though...still have eight or so to go for the middle schoolers.  And I can't take credit for the little Mug Rug saying. A Facebook friend designed them and was sweet enough to share them!

Hex on the Beach

I ran out of hexagon templates.

  I am at 357/1008 hexagons!

This was taken at 196 this week.

 Loooong way to go.  And it's definitely official.  I hate glue.

Mini Vac Attachment Bag

I love my mini vac attachments to clean my sewing machines so much, that I had to make a drawstring bag for them!

My First Pattern??

In January, I designed a quilt for Button.  I have finally decided to get working on the quilt and the pattern this month.

I have crib, lap, twin and queen sizes worked out.
The king is alluding me a bit because I didn't realize they were wider than they are longer?

Second Client Quilt

I was waiting on my latest pantograph order!

Can't wait to use the larger scale Maple Syrup.
 The one I did awhile back was too small for the quilt I'm about to do!

Blogger's Quilt Festival

The voting has begun.

 I have two quilts over there.  Tumbleweed in Home Machine quilting at #2.  and Imagination for Group Quilt at #1.  If your bored and want to vote for someone, I won't stop you!  My secret confession? I didn't vote for any of mine!  Shhhhh....


Now I just need to figure out how to catch up on all the sweet comments and also my blog reading. Something always has to give, doesn't it?
