Sewvivor - Lauries Entry

This quilt has been on our blog before, you can read all about it here. It is one of my most favorite quilts because of its different patterns within the quilt and it bright cheery colors. It was sew fun to make.  I am posting this quilt again because I am entering it in the first round of the Sewvivor Quilt Contest which entries close tomorrow.  You can read about the contest and see all different entries at Family Ever After. 

Jack and Jill

My goal this year is to finish up some of my stash quilts. I bought this pattern and fabric about a year ago. I liked it so much, I bought fabric to make it up in a boy version as well as a girl version. As you can see, I have made some head way on the boy quilt, I just need to finish the prairie point border, add the ric rac and the sail boats. Quilt it, bind it, and move on to Jill, the girl version. 

 This is a fun pattern and sews up quickly. I love how playful the pinwheels look with the bright colors.  The Jill quilt is made up of soft pinks and greens with a tad of yellow. 

 This has been a great pattern to work with. I highly recommend it for your next baby quilt. Pattern is called Jack & Jill by KariePatch Designs. 

Our giveaway is still going on. Don't forget to enter!

Scotties

Here is my latest finished project. This is an awesome pattern by Deborah Borsos & Leslee Price titled Memory Lane.  It is a row-by-row quilt made with Aunt Gracie's fabrics and includes embroidery, yo-yo-s, and 108 buttons. This was a project chosen for a year long quilt club that I belong to. Even though it was supposed to be done in that year, it took me almost a year and a half (I'm a little slow, haha). Since I love quilt clubs so much, I actually belong to several! It's my social outlet, who doesn't love spending time with other quilters? 

Although I don't have dogs, I love my Scotties! These cute little dogs are hand embroidered. The pattern called for the Scotties to be fabric appliqued, but I chose to incorporate my love for embroidery. Each dog has it's own collar tied with a colored bow.

This is my first attempt at yo-yo's. I thought it would be a lot harder than it was. Good thing it wasn't too hard, I had to make a total of 34 of them. I think they look so cute. I love the 3D effect it gives the quilt! I think I found a new favorite look. 

The quilt group chose to add a picot border to give the quilt a little more color and add some additional appeal. Here is where those 108 buttons come in! I was anxious to finish the project and 108 buttons got just a little time consuming and boring. ;)

 I think this quilt is so pretty. It will definitely be added to "my favorites"!
