TUMBLER QUILT

My little tumbler quilt is all done. This took 3 charm packs of Lucy's Crab Shack to make a crib size quilt.

I absolutely love this line of fabric. This little quilty measures 34 x 50.

I debated whether to cut the edges straight or leave them angled. Just to give it that little bit of something extra, I left them angled. Binding it took a lot longer than normal! I am happy with the finished result though.

Because I liked this quilt so much, I made another one.

This one measures 4 1/2" x 5 1/8"

There is a spot for this one on my nursery quilt. More on that later   : )

Have a great long week-end. I am really hoping for sun!

FRIDAY PHOTOS

We have had some nasty weather here so I have been waiting it out in my sewing room. This week I worked on several different projects. Nothing got finished, but I made progress on several things.

I started a quilt with Lucy's Crab Shack.

I worked on the nursery quilt. I have some quilts and birds on the clothesline now.

While digging through a bin of kids fabrics, I found this half pieced top. All the fabrics were with it, so I added a few more random width strips and finished it up. I started this quilt over a year ago after seeing one on film in the fridge. I think I will use it to practise my free motion quilting. Perhaps a different fill in each row?

and lastly, I have had this little lamp for about 10 years. I wouldn't part with it because I loved the shape. It's solid wood. The shade was rotten but I kept it, thinking one day I would paint the base, and buy a new shade. Well, a piece of "good fortune" by Kate Spain and a little paint, and voila. I think this just upped the cuteness factor of the nursery by a bit : )

I do have something else to show you, but that will have to wait for Sunday.
Have a great week-end.

ITSY BITS

Today I have a few smallish things to show you. Progress on the nursery quilt is being made. I have a couple of little "quiltlets" underway.

Hexagons are always a favourite. These ones are 1/2"

Of course there has to be a nine patch quilt

I'm not sure yet how I will attach these to the main quilt-----whether to fuse or turn the edges under and appliqué them down

A few birdies and socks ready to go on the clothesline. (these will be fused)

Still plugging away on my hexagons. #22

and this is a sneak peak of Annika's block I did for her. It will be on it's way to Sweden this afternoon : )

That's it for today. My daughter graduates this week-end so things may be a bit quiet here.

Have a fabulous wednesday.
