On the design wall...

I got half of the shirt blocks up on the design wall.

I'm sure I will move some around before I start sewing them together.  In the end it will be 84x96.  Do you think it needs a sashing or just like this?  I have a million men's shirts!  I really need to put them to good use.  I think I have 3 large totes full.  A little thrift store in town has all you can fit in a trash bag for $6.  I usually get all that I can find that are good quality which is around half a bag.  

I think I will take the Christmas tree down tomorrow.  I love Christmas but I'm just ready for the decor to be put away.  

A little pic of Everleigh...  she's not feeling well today.  

Back to quilting... I know that I have been working on a few UFO's lately but I think I'm ready to cut out something new!  I'm just ready for a new project.  I got a bolt of beautiful solid Poppy Red in the shop the other day.  I would really like to use it in a red and white quilt.  Nothing fancy just simple.
 

Using it up!

Hey it's me!!!  It's been a while.  

Since I have all of my customer work finished for the rest of the year, I decided to do some sewing for myself.  

I had these blocks cut for a long time.  It was time to get rid of this little pile of leftover sunflower and bee fabrics.  I've made several customer quilts out of this fabric and I just want to use the rest up and get rid of it.  😄

I had the 4 Patch Flip pattern cut with the remaining scraps.  A very simple pattern that goes quickly.

After a few hours of sewing this is what I had on my design wall.  All of the blocks are made but not yet assembled into a top.  I will probably move some blocks around before I sew them together.  

I haven't figured out the size yet but it will end up being a large lap.  Even after that, I still have some of this fabric left.  😩

Hopefully, I can get it assembled soon.  With Christmas just a few days away and 4 anxious granddaughters, it might be after Christmas.  

Family/Life....

We got our first snow for the season today.  Just about an inch.  

I will leave you with a precious photo of Everleigh.  She was helping me make pumpkin rolls for Thanksgiving.  Look at this smile, it's priceless!  She loves helping me in the kitchen.

I'm putting it on my schedule to post a couple of times a week.  I miss this....

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.
