Another January Finish!

The weather continues to be cold, or down right bad. I have been passing the indoor time sewing!
Another top is finished! This is top number 4!

This was a new start, and I'm really happy with how it came together!

Now I send it off to be quilted!

A New Start

I love new starts! That's why I have so many projects going at one time!

I started this lap size quilt with a kit I purchased from Craftsy. I don't usually buy kits but the price was great and I have been eyeing this pattern for a long time!

I have all of the blocks cut out and have pieced 7 of the 42 already. 

Third Finish of 2017

WOW! We have been hit with winter! I miss my time outdoors, but I have been making good use of my indoor time sewing!

I started this quilt to demo a block pattern called Little Apples for my quilt club, Sapphire Quilt Club, in Stevensville, MT. I had to open a layer cake that I have had for a long time, and if you know me well, you know that was a had thing to do! LOL

I really liked this block and wanted a bigger sized quilt, so of course, I ordered some more fabric that  I was lucky to find on Etsy!

It looks a bit washed out in this picture, but our lighting wasn't very good! 

Second Quilt Finish of 2017

It has been below zero for the last week and all I have been able to do is quilt! That is the only thing this cold weather has been good for!

As 2016 wound to a close, I made a list of quilts to make or finish in 2017. I finished number 2 yesterday and it is off to the long arm quilter!

I saw this pattern in a 2006 issue of American Patchwork and Quilting and loved it as it showcases greens, pinks, and browns. These are all colors I really like and especially like how they play together! I collected scraps and bought a few more colors. 

I started the quilt blocks, and then we made the foolish decision of upgrading to a king sized bed. So, I made more blocks! I made 196 blocks! Then they sat for a while longer! 

I decided to finish this quilt in January and set a reasonable goal of 1 row per day, as there are 14 rows. Then it got cold! And the quilt got finished, just like that! 

I'm moving on to the next quilt on the list! If this weather stays cold, I may have to add tot he list! 

First Quilt Finish of 2017

I made a list of quilts that need to be finished in the upcoming year!
This quilt was at the top of the list and I finished it on January 1st.
It is off to the quilter!

It was such a fun quilt to make. It was a block of the week called Be My Neighbor sponsored by Moda. I downloaded the block patterns from the Quilted Moose.

Happy New Year 2017

I have been neglecting my blog this past year, and hope that I can stay more consistent posting this year! Yes, that is one of my resolutions!

I need to do things this year to stay positive with all of the negativity in the world!

So, I plan to:

*play with my dogs
