Some Springtime Fun!

I love Springtime, who doesn't? I keep trying to come up with things to use for holidays which brings us to the month of March and St. Patrick's Day. I know I saw something like this somewhere on the net. (How many times have we said to ourselves, I know I saw that somewhere?) Anyway, I came up with this table-runner. It was very easy to make and then I used a green thread to do a FMQ stipple pattern. I really like how this one came out.

 

 I am currently working on making the pattern to offer in my Craftsy store.

I already have a pattern up for a this Spring Butterfly and Flowers Mug Rug. This mug rug actually was made for a swap. I had a blast making this. I hope you will check me out.

My next post I plan on sharing with you the mug rugs I received from the mug rug swap...Happy Sewing!

What I Have Been Up to for the Past Week

First up is a Winter Tree Wall hanging. I have this top put together, but it went straight to the UFO pile. I love this and will get it finished soon.

Next up is this beautiful label that Janet Yatska. This label will go on the beautiful Crabapple quilt that was made for my dad. You can see that quilt here. Thank you so, so much Janet. We love it!!

Made these pinwheels for a swap in the Facebook group Quilt Block Swap Group.

Out of the left overs came this mug rug. I try to use everything up!! I try!!

Pulled this quilt out of the UFO pile and it is currently getting quilted...finally. This is "crumbs in the grass".

Lastly, I finally put together the extra Orca Bay blocks into pillows to go with the quilt. As you see I have stuffed on of them and tonight I will stuff the other. I just love them!

As you see it has been a busy, busy weekend actually cause I was down with some major pain in my hips last week. All in all, I think not too bad!!

Hope you are getting lots done in  your little part of quiltland!

Bow-tie top, Sewing Machine Cover, Halloween Mug Rug

Here are several items I have been able to finish over the last few days. 

Here is a pic of the Bow-tie top I finished. This was inspired by Bonnie Hunters Cheddar Bow-Tie Quilt.

Here is a sewing machine cover, much need. Now I need to make another one for the new sewing machine I just acquired...more on that in another post. 

Mug rug made with the scraps left over from a Halloween quilt I'm working on. I try to use up as many bits and pieces left over from all my projects. Always in need of mug rugs...LOL.

 Here is the back of the mug rug, or it could be vice versa.
