Welcome

This blog is devoted to all things quilted and handmade. I have a new found love affair with quilts. I LOVE the colors, fabrics, designs and love that is sewn into quilts. Along with this new addiction comes a world of wonderfully kind and creative women (with a couple men thrown in for variety...LOL!). Please enjoy your stay here. I hope it will fuel your own creativity...

This is the 'Tobacco Road' pattern from the More Laps From Fats book.  I am calling mine Butterscotch Sundae.  I made it for my DH and just finished piecing in today...now to do the fun part,  quilting.


For a change of pace these are some flowers made from felted wool I am experimenting with making.  They are a fun small project to stick on a jacket, sweater, shawl, purse....there must be something I can put them on...LOL!

OK it isn't a quilt, but a  UFO I finally finished.  Yippee!  Grouted my mosaic bowling ball today to put in my garden.  Just have to put some clear sealer on it and outside it goes.  I love finishing projects, now if I could finish the 5 quilts and the sweater I have in the works I would be happy.  Stay tuned, this is the summer of finishing all I have started. Wish me luck!!

Finished and gifted so now I can post this to my blog.  This a baby quilt for a very  special new mom-to-be.  Their first 'child' is a wonderful black and white great dane named Stanley...so of course I had to include Stanley in the quilt for their first human child.  This is my first quilt done without any sort of pattern...just my crazy vision of what I thought it should maybe look like. A learning experience in a big way...LOL!  And yea!!!! she likes it!!
