Sleepless in O'side

It's almost 3 am and I can't sleep. But look what I found while Stumbling. These are all made of carved wood. They are fantastic. They sure fooled me.

Check List- Baby Quilt- Done!

I finished this little baby quilt this morning. I love the flower print.

Two Projects on the Wall

Why can't I finish something before I start with a new project???

As I was working on this little baby quilt,  

I got inspired to make another Loose Diamonds.

Ahhh!! Where did that come from!!

Who knows? 

But I am getting ready to release my Loose Diamonds in a PDF format on Etsy. 

So I guess it has been in the back of mind. What else is there?

I didn't have to buy any new fabric for the Loose Diamonds......all from my stash. 

That's what I like about this pattern.

I will show them both again when I finish.

All Things Felted

I just created this Treasury List in Etsy.

This is a craft I could get interested in!

New Baby Quilt

Just minutes after I listed a baby quilt on Etsy, someone added it to their Treasury.
Always great free advertising!

Half-Square Triangles Again

Just in case you think I had fallen 

off the face of the earth....

Here is proof that I am still around.

I have been working on two baby quilts using the Half-Square triangles I make at quilt shows.

 I have a ton of quilts to make, 'cause I made a ton of HST's using my Stitching Lines at the two back-to-back quilt shows I vended at in the last two weeks.

I found this really pretty bird fabric at Joann's. 

You know, the fabric that is really priced way too high!! 

I fell for it and bought a bunch. 

All the HST's use fabric from my stash, 

which doesn't seem to get any smaller. 

What's up with that!!!

I rearranged the HST's to make diamonds.  Had to do something different.

Here is  a second quilt using a floral fabric from Joann's.

 I just loved it.

 Again, not a dent in my fabric stash!

Now, I need to get some backing fabric for both. 

Why is that always a challenge?

Clipping the Binding

Once I finished making the scrappy binding for this little wiener dog quilt, I tried something new.

I know, I know, this is an old technique. It's been around for years. 

But I never tried it. I guess I am sometimes slow to try things out. 

And now since I have a little baby crawling around, I didn't want to take the chance of dropping straight pins on the floor in the family room. I always bind in front of the television, don't you?

I figure I can keep count of 12 clips. Unlike pins, if I drop one, I will know it.

And the clips work great. I should have tried this years ago. 

By the way. isn't the backing perfect for this quilt?
