Another Owl Bag

I started another bag. I like it, roomy and bigger than the other one. It matches the owl quilt a little more closely. One of the kids wants it to be a pillow, but bag it shall be. I need to make a strap for it and put the top and zipper in as well. Perhaps I should clean my house next...maybe.

The Best Ideas Come From Dreams

Around Mother's Day I had a dream about my husband and I asleep in bed. The quilt that was on my bed was so fun and amazing. I just had to make it. So I woke up and sketched out what I had seen in my sleep. All the fabrics it was made of were fabrics I already had right here at home, so I was able to start right away. This is the most fun quilt top I have made. I thought you might like to see the progress shots.

Batik disappearing 9 patch and bird embroidery

I am spending a lot of time these days running kids from hither to yon, so I am trying to always keep one block with me that needs embroidered...since waiting is always on the menu. These bright batiks have just been calling to me lately. I originally thought this would be for someone else, but I have decided that I love it so much that I will just try to keep it for me. We will see if I can see this through to completion.

More wonky stars...6"-12" mini swap

I really love these batiks with black, so for my last mini quilt swap I made this modern amish rendition for my partner. It left a couple days ago as well, hope she likes it.
