Park City Girl: Quilt Festival - Fall 2009

Unbelievable...this just started and I am already #373. Just look at all the inspiration!!!

Repentence...

Here is a quick repentence....

I learned my daughter was pregnant with her 3rd about a month ago so I started making a possible quilt. Since she already has 2 boys I was secretly hoping for a girl for her. I was following a quilt group on flickr and they were making wonky block. I so wanted to join in the fun and make her a quiltthat way so I pulled and pulled all my pinks and got started. Of course we didn't know what she was having yet so it was a gamble. I had thought I would call the quilt "Power of Pink" if it was a girl and if not the quilt would be named "Pink Wishes".


Well...we found out today that she is having a boy. Yipee!
I also had some quick repentance to do lest she, her husband or this wonderful new baby boy would EVER think that I was not thrilled and absolutely excited about this new addition. So I quickly got to work TODAY and immediately made a new quilt...
This is called "Spot Alot" and fortunately I had a bunch 5 x 5 squares of a baby charm pack. All it is waiting for a some material for the outside border then I will be ready to quilt.

We are excited ....we (actually my daughter) is having another boy!!!

Teacher's Pet (for Alicia)

My niece Alicia was having her first baby and graduating from ASU with her Teacher's degree at nearly the same time. We thought this "Teachers Pet Quilt" would be the perfect gift to celebrate this new little addition to the family.

Just look at what a doll Tanner is!!1

Halloween Swap

I joined a fun little swap. For September we were to send 3 fat quarters and some other fun goodies. This is what I sent....




I made a fun little bag that opens up from a small clutch.
I call it a "Jack-o-bag".







And this is what I got.....


so fun!!!
It makes me excited about Halloween approaching!

Super Sister - Happy Birthday!!

I have a wonderful sister. She is beautiful inside and out.
She has a terrific talented family and is one amazing woman.
She is definitely one of my heroes!
Since I have only one sister and that makes her even more special.
Happy Happy birthday sis.
I hope you can enjoy and use this fun little table runner.
Made especially for you in your favorite colors - Blue!

Finally - One ON TIME!!

I finally finished one Bday gift on time. My d-d-in law's birthday was Sat. and I actually got her gift done. I had actually bought the charm pack months ago when I saw it because it just jumped out at me and looked liked something she would like. Of course I never got around to sewing it until a week before (my typical procrastination) and I was sweating about it because I was having major sewing machine problems but we got them fixed....just in the nick of time! whew!

Back........................Front.......................Inside



It turned out so fun!!!

Best of all I think she like it too!

Chelle's Bag - Finally Finished!!!

Well it took me long enough (just because I got lazy and didn't finish for 3 months) but I finally have it done and better yet SHE IS USING IT!!!

The fabric used for this has sentimental value. The main bag fabric was from her Nana and the button on the front was from her great grandma Ivie. So it has a touch of vintage (truly vintage for her personally). Also it is not too big and simple yet classic for my classic gal. I think her favorite part is that pocket on the front, just the right size for her cell phone.
