Quilts for Kids

Just yesterday I completed this cute bunch of singing kids quilt for the Quilts for Kids organization. If you have not visited their website and ordered your quilt kit, now's the time to do it and get stitching for a worthy cause.

Home is Where the Heart Is - Update

The other day I was able to get my log cabin blocks stitched together and added to my quilt. I have to cut and attach the borders yet but I will make the December 15th deadline to complete this top! Yeah! Now, If I can also get the mini version of this quilt finished too then I'll be able to have two entries into the Bernina machine drawing - not sure what machine will be given away yet but any of them will do just fine! Another prize is to have your quilt machine quilted for free! That's a great prize too!

Home is Where the Heart Is BOM progress

OK so I actually do make quilts! I joined a BOM program at my local quilt shop earlier this year and although this should have been a 12-month program, it got condensed down to about 9 months so this is as close to giving birth as I'll ever get - LOL -- OK that was probably bad comedy but oh well -- So we are just about finished with the quilt tops - we have until December 15th to complete them the tops so we can have a chance at winning a Bernina sewing machine! I have my center done - that was a monthly progress you see on the bed. I have to add the log cabin blocks and the border this week and I'll be done with the top. YEAH!!! I bought my background fabric and some extra fabric from the line to make a couple pillow cases or shams, not sure which i'll make. This is a bit more country than I usually would like but it was a great exercise for a beginning quilter like me!
