Happy Stitching.....

A Special Post~

I received this fun little package all the way from England!

I was the lucky winner on Susie's

Pin-it Blog Hop.

It has given me a lot of ideas of

new projects to make,

and I love the Merry cushion,

but I hate to cut into them!

Thank you, Susie!

I think I will enjoy their cuteness as they are for now.....

October's Goal~

There is a little guy who has become a new big brother.

I plan to take this fabric and create a bag 

just for him.....

 

 Check out the links to see what others are planning to

finish in the month of October.
You may find inspiration for your holiday creating.....

September in a Lovely Year of Finishes~

I am really glad Katie Q pointed me in this direction.
Melissa and Shanna's monthly project has been a great motivator
to get projects finished!

This month I am happy to have my Dreamy quilt done!

I am happy with the scrappy back and really like the record it provides.

It will help me to remember what fabrics were in the line.

I tried washing and drying the quilt once I finished the binding.

It really makes the "Sticky Bun" quilting pattern show up!

This will be a bright spot on cloudy winter days.

I hope you stop by and check out the other great finishes.....

Work In Progress...Getting Closer~

Right before I left on my trip I found out that my favorite Long-arm Quilters

could do a top for me while I was in Oregon.  

Since I always worry about mailing large pieces, I decided to take advantage

of her willingness!

The back was finally finished two hours before the jet left.

This is the first scrappy back I have ever done, and it was a learning experience.

It has at least one sample of every fabric in the Good Morning line!

I kind of love that...

June and John did a fantastic job (as usual) lining me up and making their 

stitches look fantastic.

Now I just have to finish the binding.....

A Lovely Year of Finishes~

Remember the Dreamy quilt top?

I really want it finished..

One project finished so I can start something new.

So, in September I am making that my goal.

To complete the Dreamy quilt.....
