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.  :)

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all got to spend some wonderful time with loved ones. We did! :)

I finished all my gifts on time this year. :)  I even made a couple more last minute gifts. I made a couple scarves for my friend's daughters in Germany. I added some embroidery and backed it with some warm fuzzy fleece.

They will definitely come in handy.

I made one for Taylor too and she loves it. 

 Here she is modeling hers. 

Now, I want one for me.  Must add that to my long list of stuff to make....

Happy Holidays,

Sunny

My Kids

I have 2 of them and they are a handful....

 but they're suppose to be, right?!?

Taylor

She is a very sassy 6 year old.

Michael (Mikey)

A very affectionate 3.5 year old.

So lucky to be blessed with them.  Where's my hubby?  Another post on him later.  He's been doing some really cool stuff with work lately so that's worthy of a post all its own.

OXOX,

Sunny
