On my way to Chrstmas

I have always wanted to make a Christmas quilt and always waited until Christmas to start thinking about it. 

So I figured I'd get a jump on it this year.

I had these designs that I've been dying to make so I got started on it.

 

There are 3 sets and they are all so cute 

I can't figure out which I like more.

My daughter has already claimed it.

I'll have more pictures as I go along.

Believe me it won't be an overnight job.

I'm having a little bit of a problem with puckering.

I know I'm using enough stabilizer. So what's up with that.

I guess I'll add another sheet and see if that takes care of the problem.

I think once it's quilted it will be ok.

 

 

 

Embroidered Sea Pirates

I finished the lod cabin this past Saturday and my daughter reminded me that I promised to make a baby quilt for March. She didn't tell me the begining of March - I was hoping for the last of the month.

Anyway I started Saturday night making the sea pirates and finished embroidering them late Sunday.

Last night I put it all together and hopefully I can get it in the frame tonignt. With any luck I'll have it quilted and bound by Saturday.

Then I think I'll sleep all day Sunday.

I took this picture of the log cabin at work today. You can see the backing color a little better.

Owls are finished

I was able to get the binding on the owl quilt last night. The back is a pink polka dot flannel so I didn't want to use the cream fabric that was on the front. Lucky for me when I made my 9 patches I cut out more than I needed.  I thought I did good using it in the border - that cut it down quite a bit. After  I used it on the binding I had only one square left. My luck usually doesn't work that way.

I put my pineapple quilt together over the weekend - I still need to put the border on.

I thought I might make it a little wider than normal and do some applique

It was paper pieced and this is a picture of how it looked before the paper was taken off.

Took my husband 3 nights to get it all off. He stayed up late last night just to have it finished.

Sure helped me out. 

Owl Quilt #2

I took the second owl quilt out of the frame Friday. I've meant to put some pictures on here but never found the time. I still need to do the binding and then I will post the finished quilt. I believe I like this one better than the last.

I have a question for anyone that can help. When I view my blog all I see are the posts. I can't see any of my sidebar info. I can see it on my phone.

What have I done on my computer that prevents me from seeing my sidebar info?
