Flower Applique Pillow

One of my favorite blogs to visit is Kelie from Don't Look Now. On her blog she has created a wonderful tutorial for this pillow. I love love love the way it is turning out so far. My free motion quilting still needs work but is getting better all the time.

Chinese Coin Quilts

I finished the top to the coin quilt I have been working on. I must say I rather like the colors of it. I just need to get some backing fabric and then I can attempt to free motion quilt it. I used a balipop in the sherbert colors.

I took the picture while it was draped over my desk so it is really not distorted like it looks.

Crazy month!

Goodness it has been a while since I have posted anything. It has been a crazy busy month. I started on a quilt using BaliPops. I am making a coins quilt. I love the way it is turning out so far (photos to follow). However, I found that I had to recut all of the balipops 2.5 inch strips. They ALL had a pregnant belly in the middle and were off. Anyone else find this to be the case? I bought 3 packs of these and would hate to have to cut all of them to size.

Other then that, I love the colors and the quilt is turning out nicely. I am going to try a pattern I found with applique ladybugs on it. Really cute wall hanging that would look nice in my dining area.

What a month!

Boy, this month has been a hell month for me. With DD's boyfriend passing away from a car accident to MY DD almost dying from bee stings. She is highly allergic to bees and was at work when she felt a sting on her rear end. She went into the bathroom and found the bee. She was stung 3 times and told her boss that she needed to get home to her epi pen as she is very allergic.

The idiot had someone drive her home and by the time she got there, she was swollen and having trouble breathing. Her Step Mom gave her benedryl (no epi in the house) and called an ambulance. By the time they arrived, she was not breathing but by the time they arrived at the hospital, she was fine! What a scare! They gave her more epi's and she will now have to wear the medical alert jewelry. I have more gray hairs from this month alone then I have ever had in my life!

On a lighter note, I finished another mini for the doll quilt swap 5 and will post pictures as soon as the receipient receives it.

Happy Quilting
