What i dislike? hmm.. once i mentioned that flowers make me sad because eventually they die to my husband, now i dont get flowers any more. I always get sad on valentines day because more than anything i want some flowers!! (i even tell him that, but he doesnt want me sad later)

Congratulations to Angela Nussbaum!  2.5 yds of fabric just for you!  I'll be contacting you very soon.

Thank you so much for participating in my 1st giveaway.  I will be hosting another one next month in celebration of St. Patty's Day.  I want to do something exclusively for just my followers.  Following via Google reader and email totally count!  :)   So stay tuned!

Baby, Baby, Baby.....

Ugh!  Babies are popping up everywhere!  Last year, 4 of my friends had babies.  That means I needed to make 4 quilts, but only made 1!  Ooopps!  I'm still going to make them, but they will just be late.  Yes, I suck...  :(

I found out earlier this year that 4 lovely ladies from my guild are pregnant too....  Gheez!  I'm really going to try to be on the ball with these....  TRY....

The good news is that I managed to finish one last week.  It's for baby Jonathan.  I used some metro living circles and some geeks gone wild by Timesless Treasure.  I didn't want to make it "too babyish" so these prints worked perfectly together. 

These are all HST's arranged in a zig zag patttern.  Finished quilts measures 40" x 40".

I quilted it with staright lines and made more lines on the ends.

I pieced a big space invader on the back, embroidered his name and added a label.  :)

2 down, 6 more baby quilts to go.... GHEEZ!  :P

I've new completed 2 quilts this year.  Feels good!  Thanks so much for letting me share another quilt.

Farmers Wife Sampler Quilt

And so it begins. Some friends and I decided to start our Farmers Wife Sampler Quilt Blocks finally. There's a group that we all joined that's already started last year. So they're on block #60 or something...

We set a goal of 4 blocks a month. There are 111 blocks in all.  Crazy?  I know.  I decided to try this to get back to the basics.  I haven't done many of them and they are definitely out of my comfort zone...I made these last night.  I tried paper piecing for the first time and I love it! It wasn't bad at all.

The fabric I decided to use was my DS Quilts Daisy Mae.  I finished 2 blocks. #1 Attic Windows & #3 Basketweave. I think my layout is backwards on the basketweave block, but that's what I get for sewing at midnight....  I can't wait to show you more.

A Busy 2011

2011 for me was a year full of happy sewing and quilting. 

My goal was to make 6 quilts and I accomplished my mission!  :)

Click here for more details...

My goal for 2012 is to make 12 quilts. 

This is not a stretch considering all my WIPs....  Eeek!

More details here....

Now, that I'm only in 1 quilting bee, this is very realistic. 

Heck, I already have 1 done for the year and it's mid January.  :)

So a dozen quilts it is!

Another New Quilt

So now that I finished my first big quilt.  Taylor said that she wants me to make her a rainbow quilt.  She says that she will use the 'Star one' for now.  Gheez, what a demanding 6 year old....  Does she think that I can just make another queen size quilt in 3 weeks?!?!  Yes, she does....  LOL!  :)

So here I go again...  I just finished pulling her fabrics.

Pattern?  Yes, HST's arranged in a fun way.... 

The master has cracked the whip.  Let the sewing begin....  :)

A Big Quilt

Happy New Year!  I hope everyone's holidays were wonderful. 

I'm so sorry I haven't blogged yet this year.  I have a really good excuse.  I've been working every night on my first big quilt.  I started on December 19th and I hand stitched the last inch of binding on Sunday.  That's exactly 3 weeks!  Oh and get this.... I hand quilted it!!!  That part definitely took the longest!  (This Amish alter ego seems to take over alot.  I think I should name her....Annie!  Annie it is...)

So, here it is!  :)  These are white wonky stars arranged in a interlocking pattern. 

Measurements are 90" x 90" (queen size).  

All Hand Quilted...

Here's the back.   

I did the reverse of what I did in the front. 

The fabric used was DS Quilts Picnic & Fairgrounds and Kona White. 

Both were purchased from Joann Fabrics.

My inspiration was this beautiful mini quilt by Faith. 

I saw it while browsing through Fresh Modern Quilts. 

If you ever need some inspiration, you can find some seriously amazing work there. 

Thanks for letting me share my latest work.  :)

xoxo,

Sunny
