Hexi Part 2

After many months I have finally finished the second hexi tag quilt. If you remember I bought several yards of fabric on black friday and I made my daughter her quilt right away. I ment to do my son's as soon as I had finished my daughters but then I got distracted by Christmas and I never got around to it. So here we are, almost 4 months later and I just finished getting out done. Well, at least it's done... and my son loves it!

Till next time, have fun sewing!

Quilting Frame

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it! I got a quilt frame!!! I have been shopping around for one for a few months now & I found a woman who was selling hers on craigslist, so I jumped on the opportunity. I did buy it used but it is in "like new" condition. I got it put together yesterday and set it up to start quilting today. I can't wait to get started! So here I go, my first hand quilted quilt. Wish me luck!

Till next time, have fun sewing!

Sunrise

This is the mini quilt I made for my "New Beginnings" swap partner. When I started the design, I really wanted to represent what I imagined when I thought of new beginings. The first thing I thought of was sunrises. With every sunrise comes new beginnings. So I named my mini, Sunrise. I'm so excited to have been part of this swap and i can't wait to find out if my partner likes it. I hope that whenever she looks at it her day is filled with a little sunshine.

Valentine Day

My daughter was so excited This mourning when she woke up and saw the her sweater had big red hearts on it. This weekend I was at Walmart and I found this white sweatshirt for $3 and of course I got it. So I had this sweatshirt in my hand last night and I had an idea. I went searching through my art stash and I found what I was looking for, red felt. So I got to work. I cut out hearts in all different sizes and then stitched on the hearts I liked. It was such a fun and easy project and I would defiantly do another one.

Till next time, have fun sewing!

Feet Warmers

A few weeks ago I went to a craft fair and met an older woman (cant remember her name) who was selling aprons and we started talking about sewing. One conversation led to another and eventually we started taking about Christmas gifts and She told me she made feet warmers for her family. I was so excited about the idea, I couldn't wait to make my own. I did end up having to wait because I was still working on Christmas quilts (first priority) and then we were out of town. So I finally got around to making them and I love them! I put mine at the foot of the bed and it keeps my toes warm all night.

All you need to do is sew together either, one long strip of fabric on three sides or sew two pieces if fabric together on all four sides.

•turn the fabric right side in.

•Sew the sides (and bottom if useing 2 pieces of fabric) and the top. Make sure to leave an opening so you can turn it inside out.

•Before closing insert rice (i used white rice) through the opening. I filled it about half way.

• If you'd like to make a strap, you could put it in before closing.

• Sew the opening closed and your all done.

Warm it in the microwave for one minute and enjoy! Remember, don't add anything that might damage your microwave to your foot warmer!

Till next time, have fun sewing!
