Passing the baton

 My quilting student is doing a great job. Although we have not been able to get together often, she is learning the basics of quilting.

She has been working on a Christmas quilt from the 3 yard quilt book. 

It's been fun to work together on this quilt.

I hope she keeps it up. Passing the baton to the next generation.

Happy  Quilting.

Being sidelined

Back in September I was going to work on these pillowcases for Ryan's Case for Smiles. But was sidelined by a visit to the hospital for two days. 

But I am happy to say that I completed 12 pillowcases and will deliver them to a drop off site.

Two finishes

 So what have I been doing? 

and,

Which makes two finishes.....

This one was for my daughter.

This one has a story.....

About a year and a half ago, I started making the blocks for this quilt. A start and stop, again start and stop. I finally got discouraged and handed the pieces over to my cousin and told her she could make it for herself or just trash it. Well this sweet cousin made the quilt and gave it to me for Christmas last year. I never got around to quilting it. But decided that THIS year I would quilt it up and it now hangs in my dining room.

Yay for finishes.

Grateful Pillow

 I am always blown away at the cost of pillows. I mean two pieces of fabric, a little bit of stuffing and the cost is over $20.

I'm not really much of a DIY crafter, but when an opportunity comes up, I rise to the occasion.

My daughter bought a placemat for $3. When she brought it home, she thought about making a wall hanging. BUT! Mom took it in another direction. The pillow.

I purchased a pillow form for about $5, found fabric in my stash for the backing and created my own Grateful pillow for under $10.

As opposed to the Target pillow

 

 that listed for $40.

I can live with that!

Making pumpkins

 The fall season always brings out pumpkins.

So I wanted to make my own pumpkins. Last year I came across a very easy tutorial on Stacey Lees website.

These were so fun to make.  I wanted to make more!
