Good to be home, good to be sewing

I have really enjoyed being home and back in my sewing room creating; playing with fabric. Since blogger rearranged my pictures ........ here are two of Tinker Belle ... she is growing SO FAST.




I bought a accuquilt and have been cutting lots of fabric. Here is the big thimble top. Like the other cats Tinker Belle has to explore and be in the picture.



I really liked how the drunkards path top turned out. Randum scrappiness (is that a word?). I think I will be making more of these. The blocks are supposed to finish at 7 inches but I squared them up at 6.5. I have a recipient in mind for this top...




Lots of sewing this weekend.

Prague Holiday


This is a wonderful picturesque city. We stayed at the Courtyard Marriott in Flora. Wonderful hotel with a full breakfast included. We traveled everywhere by the Metro (Subway). Lots of walking.

If you are into architecture this is a must see city.

Even the side walk is quilt worthy.

FABULOUS!

Seeing Stars, Helen's Quit

As usual blogger does exactly what it wants to. These are star blocks that I made about a year ago. My bed told me that a new quilt was needed. I have picked out the border fabrics. When I get back from Scotland I will cut and sew them on.

I didn't take Tinker Bell long to figure out that luxury was laying on nice fabrics and quits. What a ham!!! She is growing leaps and bounds.



I showed this quilt in a previous posting; Helen was quite surprised when I presented it to her. She thought I was just showing her a quilt I made LOL.
She is such a sweet lady!

Love you Mam.

Love Tops and Olivia's Quilt

I love to experiment with shapes and colors. Here are a couple experiments that I think will make a child very happy.





















Lastly a baby quilt for Olivia who was born premature and is probably home now from the hospital. The colors are brighter pink than in the picture.















Back to my sewing world.

Pet Quilts for the hospital

Since Blogger does what it wants, here are two pictures of Tinker Belle. She is growing SO FAST.




And the quilts for the pet hospital. I'm told the cats and dogs enjoy them.

It's a girl!




We have named her "Tinker Belle" but she is really a devil in disguise.

Loud Piano, Quilt Tops, Kitty

I've been sewing up a storm. A love quilt that is 2.5 X 7 inch strips sewn together.

One of the latest of the new kitty who still doesn't have a name. Mr FQ needs to know the sex first. ??? The kitty will be going to the Vet tomorrow. He already has a personality - devilish.








Judy - Here is the completed top. This spider top sat alone for a year. Poor thing. I believe it's happy now. It's VERY LOUD! Can you hear it playing?
I like it.

What can you make with all those pieces that aren't quite 2.5 square but 2.5 wide? Sew them all together, add a light colored background. I have the next baby quilt when I need it. This is one of my favorite quilts.






I'll be quilting up some small animal quilts today amongst other things. I've been working on a diamond scrap quilt that is looking good.
