Tinsel

My friend Michelle finished her Christmas wall hanging!  This was a pillow pattern by Sue Spargo last year. I love the purple/lavendar background and the quilting! 👏❤️🥰

 

Creativity

I read an article recently on creativity and how we all have a need to be creative.  It's good for us in many ways, and you don't have to be good at something to try it!  Just find something you enjoy doing and keep at it.  Or keep trying new things until you find something you enjoy.  Have a great day!

🥰

 

Hedgehogs, Sheep and Unicorns Oh My!!

So creative Lori!!

 

More Cute Stitches from Lori!!

The Cuckoo Clock!!

 

Stunning!!

Look at this STUNNING needle roll my friend Cindy made!!  Everything about this is just gorgeous and her work is impeccable. And the colors!  Oh my!

This needs to be displayed as a work of art somewhere - it's so beautiful 🥰

(She created all the stitching designs herself too)

 

Truffle Duffle

 I know I shared a picture of this Truffle Duffle quilt already but Rena got it all finished so I took another one!  She did such an amazing job! 👏😊

Boho Blocks

Got a few more Boho Heart blocks done over the weekend!! 👏❤️

 

Allegory

I finished a quilt and got to check it off my projects list!  Hurray!

This quilt is called Allegory and it was a kit from Anna Maria Textiles (actually I bought the kit from Sue Spargo's website :) I love how it turned out and a big thank you to Cheryl Bradford who did the quilting for me!! 👏😊❤️

It's machine pieced and hand appliquéd.

Look who has been walking around our neighborhood this week!! 😳

 

What's Next?

 I still need to take some up close quilting pictures of Bespoke, but this quilt, Allegory is ready to be pieced together!  Then hopefully I can get Cheryl to quilt this one for me too!

Bespoke

 Finally finished my Bespoke quilt top and I love it!!

The Cutest Tinsel

My friend Michelle finished her Tinsel quilt (Sue Spargo pattern) and it's the cutest one I've seen!  I love what she did with her borders with the holly leaves and scallops! 😊❤️👏

 

Circle Close Ups

As promised, here are some close ups of these amazing circle samplers!!

 

Toned Down Circle Sampler

Five of the nine ladies who started the Toned Down Circle Sampler class in August made it to the very end, most finished their circles and one even finished her whole project! Congrats to all!! 👏😊

Barb's (above) - she may frame or make a wall hanging.

Nancy (below) finished her book pillow!

Sherida (above) has a few to go and is making hers into an oval shape!

Lori (below) finished these 90 circles and started  more - this time 1 1/4 inch circles.  I have some close ups of some of her bigger ones I'll post later.

Cindy finished all 90 circles. I'm not sure if she's framing or making a wall hanging.  

I will share some close up pictures soon!

 

Toned Down Book Pillow

 Nancy finished her Toned Down Circle Sampler into the cutest book pillow!  I love it! 👏❤️😊

Bespoke

After a few months, I'm back to working on the Bespoke quilt again.  I am loving working with Anna Maria Horner's fabric!  She actually changed her professional name to Anna Maria Parry, after a remarriage - or you can look up Anna Maria Textiles. Such beautiful fabric lines!

 

Two Finishes!

I finished two small wall hangings this weekend, both of which I've been working on for a year!  This is my finished Leaf the Week Behind.  It was a lot of fun to work on. 😊

The second finish I can't share yet because it's the "lite" BOM from Sue Spargo for 2025 and the book is not out yet.  It turned out so cute though!  I'm excited about it.  This was the first BOM designed by her daughters Kelly and Aimee. 👏

I just happened to have this leaf fabric that was perfect for the back.
