Behind on Posting Due to a House Full of Illness...Catching Up!

This house has been full of illness, Flu and Upper Respiratory Illness and Sinus Infection. ARGH. I still have gotten a few things done and I am going to make one large post regarding them. I just want to catch up so I can keep going...LOL

First of all, I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas!! Boy it got here fast and then was gone even quicker, Yah?

Here are some of the last minute items I was able to finish for gifts for Christmas, and some items I received as gifts from swaps and such. Enjoy!!

Finished the pillow to go along with this little doll quilt for a cousin.

Wall quilt for my  mother for Christmas! Looks to me like a winter forest..LOL. she loves it. I also made a couple of mug rugs using the trees (forgot to get a picture of them.).

This is all the wonderful items I got in a Secret Santa Stocking Swap. I especially love the pincushion with the bag hanging off it for scraps. The pins and safety pins will come in handy especially since I needed more of them...LOL. Thank you Barbara Smythe for my wonderful gifts.

Sweet Skating Sue Mini Wall Quilt Swap. Inst it wonderful!! These were traded on the Quilting Gallery. 

 I was ill when mine got sent out and we forgot to get a picture. Unfortunately, my partner didn't receive hers so I'm currently whipping out another one to send off to her. I hate when things go missing, don't you?

Thanks for looking, Ill have to get a post up on my progress with Easy Street!

UFO Sunday

I have had my Dad's quilt top for almost a year. I want to have this one finished. Yesterday I completed the backing for it and have it laid out on the dining room table to get it pinned so I can FMQ it.This is my project for today. I must get this UFO finished so Dad can use his quilt this year.

Linkin up with:

On another note, this little doll quilt that I showed a few days ago is Done, Done, Done. Isn't it cute? I am thinking this will go to my little cousin for Christmas.

Off to work on Dad's quilt, have a great afternoon!

Christmas Gift almost finished...Doll Quilt

Made this cute little doll quilt today. Took me about 2 hours from making the half-square triangles to getting the quilting done. I still need to pick a fabric to use for binding. I am thinking a light blue would be perfect to finish this off. 

Funny thing about this little quilt is I received a package of 2.5 in squares in the mail. These squares were in the package. They were calling to me to make something, and I did just that. This is 22x18 inches.  I just think this is adorable. 

This picture doesn't do the color justice. They are much brighter than this.

Tomorrow I will be getting the a back pieced for my fathers Crabapple Quilt (Bonnie Hunter). Don't know what happened, but the piece we purchased ended up being about a foot too short. I just cant imagine why it happened but it did, so now need to piece something into it to make it the right size.  Can't wait  to get that finished for Dad, especially since it is starting to get cold. 

Until tomorrow, dream quilty dreams.!
