Silly Mama Quilts

Well it is finished – Ashley’s wedding quilt top that is!  Whew!  I really love it!!  I am still working on the border options and then I can send it off to the quilter.  I just thought I would share the finished top.  The feeling of finishing a project is rewarding!

Okay here is the unveiling of the new blocks I am working on with the Make Life fabric from Sweetwater.  I am using the block pattern my Mom brought with her.  I am thinking I will sew three blocks together.  Any comments?  Any ideas?

While my Mom was here we made the rounds to several local quilt stores – our own version of a Shop Hop!  I bought some of Hunky Dory by Chez Moi and Oz by Sanae along with some additional pieces to make some fall color runners.  I couldn’t resist American Jane’s new line in a […]

Awhile back I bought these fabrics from Sanae’s Twiggy line.  I have made two lap quilts – Nature All Around that are listed in my Etsy shop.  Well I still had more fabric and couldn’t decide on a pattern.  I came across Sweet Baby Jamie’s site and her new pattern through Fabritopia’s blog.  So here […]

I hope that you all enjoyed your Easter weekend with family and friends.  My family has enjoyed a visit from Gramma.  She is a quilter too and so we have squeezed in some sewing time, quilt shopping time between the games my kids play with her.  She brought this beautiful table runner as a gift […]

Be watching for the Hungry Caterpillar quilt to show up in my Etsy shop.  I made this quilt and actually several of these last year.  One I gave to my niece and one I am keeping for a very future grandchild!  I thought you enjoying seeing a preview.  Happy Easter!  Enjoy the weekend!

I thought you would enjoy this latest project.  I had used some of this fabric for a large table runner.  I had plenty to use for another project.  I saw this pattern at my local quilt store and decided this fabric would be perfect.  I laid it out on the living room floor over the […]

I couldn’t resist!  I have been following Sweetwater’s blog with their new fabric line called Make Life and I became convinced that I NEEDED to have some.  Then when Fabritopia put the fabric line on sale – I took the bait!  It came in the mail today!  So be watching to see what I come […]

This afternoon I pieced Ashley’s quilt up to this point and then got stuck.  We are trying to decide about fabric choices for a border.  Care to cast a vote?  I first bought the blue fabric for a border, but now that the quilt is just about together I am not sure.  So I went […]

I thought you might enjoy seeing this cute project I am working on for friends of my family.  I was asked to complete this project, so here is my progress so far.  I really think this is a cute quilt.  My dear friend helped me out with the applique and the eyes on the turtles.  […]
