Another Super Bowl Sunday!
That means more sewing time for me! Yipee!!

I plan on sewing together the last two rows of this quilt, today, and maybe quilting it. I have already sold two of these, one online at my Etsy shop. But this is pretty much the end of this giraffe fabric, only a half yard left.
You know I never noticed, but there are also lions with the giraffes. This quilt gets a new name!

I finished my first Scrappy Trip last week. I wonder how long it will sit around, before I quilt it!!

A couple days ago, I started another Scrappy Trip. This one will get quilted for sure, since I am going to put it in my bedroom. I pulled the colors from my pillow shams, which I made from a way too heavy quilt I had bought for my bed. I cut it up for these two shams and have plenty more quilt to use for something else.

I will definitely be sewing more blocks for this quilt today. I only have 12 more to go. And the strips are already cut and organized into blocks.  I set a goal of at least 6 a day. Easy Peasy!!

Scrappy Trip Quilt

I think it is time for a new post! I got bitten by the Scrappy Trip bug. 

These blocks are addicting and so easy. 

After I got all these blocks sewn, put up on the wall and stood back, I could see something was missing.

Almost all the colors were cool. I needed to warm it up a bit.

So I am adding more blocks with some yellow.

 I think it gives it a little more interest.

Also, I can see that I need more darks.

I will switch out some blocks with the new ones and move them all around. 

I wish this used up more scraps. My stash never seems to dwindle. What's up with that. Even if I make this queen size, I don't think I will see a dent.

One thing I found out about this pattern by Bonnie Hunter (link here), was that the seams don't always mesh together nicely. Even Bonnie says you may need to repress or unstitch and adjust direction of seams. That I don't like to do. Her method for putting together the block is great. My only change was the final pressing. Those seams, I pressed open. Then I can match up a seam pressed in one direction with a seam pressed open. Less bulk for me.

I am already thinking of other color combinations I might use. like I say, this is addicting.

Wow! It's been over a month since I last posted.
I won't apologize, for if I had posted anything, it would have been very boring indeed!!

My little granddaughter, Evie had her first birthday last week, but no party for her.

Instead, we were all visiting my son, Andy in the hospital. He broke his left leg in three places when he crashed a motorcycle. After eight days in the hospital, he is now staying with us at our house. Since he also messed up his right foot, he is in a wheelchair until he can graduate to crutches in a few weeks.  I am pretty much his mode of transportation!!
I have been able to make a few notebooks that I am slowly listing on Etsy.

More Baby Quilts Finished

With no baby to watch these last few days, I was able to finish up two more baby quilts. These are repeats of a couple of quilts that sold pretty quickly before. But heck, what's a girl to do with a gazillion half-square triangles?? You can see more photos here and here.

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.
