Fabric Haul and tile

Here is the small fabric haul that I did Friday.  These were all purchased at Hobby Lobby.  I have no idea why this pic is upside down but it will not flip.  :(

Here are the fabrics already cut for a lapsize rag quilt.  The backing is the grey flannel.  I had a customer request it and also a Denver Bronco themed one.  I have that fabric ordered.   I've actually already started sewing on this one.  You can see in the pic that I also cut a stack of batting for it.  

The top fabric with the swirls is for a project of mine.  I started piecing the mushroom quilt from Lori Holt's new book and I ran out of background fabric.  I'll post pics of it once I drag it back out.  I just picked it up while I was down there but no clue when I will actually get to work on it again.  

The red/white polkadot it just a half yard that I picked up for my stash.  It was 50% off since it was in the Christmas fabric section.

Everleigh fell in love with this Santa panel.  They had it quilted and hanging up.  She noticed it and kept saying "Santa" and "pretty pretty"  :)  I actually bought 2 of them and plan to quilt them both.  I'll keep one for Everleigh and give the other to my sister for my niece and nephew to enjoy.  They were actually only $4.50 each.

I picked up a yard each of these 2 fabrics.  My nephew, Tucker loves dinosaurs and the solid is a flannel.  He is only a couple months older than Everleigh.  So my plan is just to quilt this up quickly for him as he loves dragging around a blankie.  

I worked on the rag quilt a little this evening.  I wanted to get more of it done but Richard and I took a little motorcycle ride.  It was a nice day for it.  We actually stopped by a place and looked at tile for the shower walls.  Ended up finding a really good deal on some that I liked so we paid for it because they didn't have a lot of it.  I will go back Monday morning and pick it up.  Didn't expect to find tile while on a motorcycle ride.  LOL!  

Not sure when Richard will actually get around to doing it but soon I hope.  

After Church I hope to get back to sewing on the Dallas Cowboy rag quilt.  I want to have it finished before the other fabric comes in.  I also need to do some embroidery work before my next craft show.  Also a couple of tshirt quilts that I need to do for a lady.  

Hexagon Baby Quilt

Here is a custom baby quilt that I made last month.  The lady sent me a pic from Pinterest of a quilt that she liked.  I actually already had the acrylic template for it.  

It went together pretty fast.  I cut 2.5" strips and cut the half hexie template out of those.  

She also requested that I embroider the baby's name on it.  

I just did a simple meander quilting on it.  She seemed very pleased with it. 

Today mom, Everleigh and I headed to do some fabric shopping.  I had to pick up a few pieces for another customer quilt.  I'll post details on that in the next post.  We also looked for some bathroom tile but didn't find what I wanted.  :(  Anyway while we were out we stopped for lunch at Outback Steakhouse.  Look at this face on Everleigh!  LOL!  I guess her strawberries were sour.  She is such a great eater.  

She cracks me up! :)  

I also got a new laptop today so that should make posting regularly easier.  I found it hard to post from my cell phone.  

I'll also post some pics of my fabric all in the next post.  

 

Craft shows, quilt shows and more

My craft show went very well! Actually better than I thought! Here are a few pics of my set up. 

My niece also set up with me. This is what she had

The festival also had a small quilt show.

Here is my bow tie that I entered. 

I quilted this baby quilt for a lady the other day. It was her first quilt that she had made and she did a wonderful job. I posted this pic on Facebook and one of Richard‘s coworkers messaged him to see if I could make a queen size version for him. I think he wants it to give as a gift. So I am slowly making pinwheels between other projects lol

I also finished up this Halloween wall hanging for myself. It was a free so long from the fat quarter shop

That’s all for now  I’ll be back in a few days with more…
