1st day of Butterfly Garden!

I have started Butterfly Garden! Here is this months block. It is really 9 mini blocks. I am really excited about this. However I am not too excited about the fabric used in mini block six below.Here is block two, I really like my zig zag here. I decided to go with pink on all the applique with exception of maybe the butterflies. We will see. Here is block one. I really like the scrappy ness of this quilt. I can not wait to see what Julies looks like...

Block of the month...

OK so here is the quilt block that I completed as part of the Block of the Month program I am doing with the lady at work. I get the next one on the 15th, so it will be a couple of more weeks before I post the next BOM. I am still thinking about doing the other BOM for Lauren, Maybe, just Maybe Julie will do it with me. :)

Iit has been areally long while...

Ok so it has been a really long long while since I have blogged. I have been quilting but not nearly as much. I have started a block of the month with a lady at work. I will have to upload my pictures later. I am thinking about starting another block of the month... pictured here...

I think this one would be cute for Lauren. I know she has one already but we all could use more quilts... right?
I have found a great quilt shop not that far from our house, well in comparison to where the old shop was in Heidelberg.(sp?)

I will upload pics later....

IT has been a while

Ok, so it has been some time since I have posted on this blog, and with good reason. We had another baby and we are getting ready for a move. I have finished the VHC quilt, but I still need to take pictures. I have started another quilt, a pinwheel one, however I am not sure I will be done with the top before my sewing machine gets picked up next week. I am going to try to have the top done so that I can (TRY) hand quilting it. We will see how that goes!!!

coming close to being finished with another one....

Here is a picture of the VHC (Very Hungry Caterpillar) pieced together and hanging on my wall while I am basting it together. THE THING IS HUGE!!! It is bigger than a throw for sure. I had a good amount of excess backing so i may try to make a pillow case to go with it.
Here is a picture of the design I am quilting into the quilt this go around. pretty simple, but with such a busy and colorful quilt I did not want anything to add to it or take away from all the colors, so I kept it simple with white thread and meandering stars. :)

The Very Hungry Caterpiller, almost patched together

So I finished the top minus boarders, at the stitch and gab last night. I also started it at the stitch and gab last night. I took it out this morning to take a picture and add it to the blog but someone saw it before I could take the picture and decided it was his. (Which it is, when it is done.) SO I could not get a complete picture, or one with out Jayden on it, so here ya go... The real challenge was getting it away from him to put away.

It's Done!!!

OK, I am done with Laurens Quilt!!! I finished it up yesterday when Jayden was sleeping. Here are some pictures of it complete. Now today during his nap time I am going to iron and cut the fabrics for the VHC (very hungry caterpillar) quilt.

Here is a picture of the backing and the quilt label I made for the quilt. This is the first quilt label I have ever made.
Here is a picture of Sun Bonnet Sue, here you can see some of the quilting.
Here is a close up of some of the nine patches.

Here is a picture I took outside, so that it would not look too yellow due to the indoor lighting.
