Mini T-Shirts

 I pieced together smaller t-shirt squares for my niece this week. 

Stitches Blocks

I finished out the year of blocks for do.Good Stitches.  I made 4 half log cabin blocks and 2 crosses for September, October, and November.  I love a good classic block that uses scraps.  We take December off, so I'll be back in January with a new set of blocks.

A Wheeled Finish

 I love finishing a quilt every conference weekend.  I was happy with the way this one turned out. 

First Project Back

 This quilt top is the first sewing project I've done since moving.  I'm trying to get a quilt ready to bind for General Conference coming up next weekend.  This is one of the Do.Good Stitches quilts I'm in charge of.  I like how it turned out.  I asked for pastels and possible flowers with white or cream background.

Bumps in the Stitches

I pulled the fabrics that I needed for the July and August blocks.  As soon as I cut out the pieces I packed all the fabric away.  I started working on the quilt blocks.  I pieced together all the hearts, and then I started on the stars.  I quickly realized I somehow cut some of the star squares wrong by a quarter inch.  I ended up only being able to make one of my blocks.  My do.Good Stitches ladies came to my rescue and made another star block for me.

A Football Finish

I finished the football quilt with just a few days to spare.  I put the last of my BYU fabric on the back since that's his Alma mater.  For the top stitching I tried to simulate the look of the lacing on the football with the stitch.  This is my final quilting project before school is out and summer is in full swing.  

Next!

 She's being induced soon, so I only have a week to get the quilt done.  They live, breathe, and eat football since her husband is a coach on the Kansas City Chiefs, so I decided to stick with a football theme.  I don't love the quality of fabric that I ordered online, but it is what it is.  How I miss JoAnn's!

A T-Shirt Finish

I was very excited to complete Little Man's t-shirt quilt.  I'm giving it to him for graduation, so I'm feeling relief that it's done in time, and I love how it turned out.

Next Project

 The clock is ticking until the end of the school year, so I'm trying to focus and get things done.  Next up: Little Man's t-shirt quilt.  I got the quilt top done this week during the day while he was gone at school.

Do.Good Stitches

I'm on a sewing kick right now trying to get as much done as possible.  I completed April and May blocks for do.Good Stitches.  It was all about Spring this time around with flowers and butterflies. 

T-shirt Quilt

I finished Dad's t-shirt quilt during General Conference.  I chose to make the back fleece since it's for my mom.

Dad in a Quilt

It's taken me 3 years to be able to open up his suitcase filled with his shirts.  I tried once a while ago, but it was too much.  My dad was known for his bright shirts and sense of humor shining through via his t-shirts.  It took me two full days to put this t-shirt quilt top together.  I cried, I laughed, and I remembered him.

Another Runner

I've been trying to systematically make a table runner for each holiday.  Last year I bought the fabric, but I never had the time to make it.  I'm feeling accomplished that I actually sewed it before it hit March.  We'll just pretend like it's not a year late.

Quilt Cuteness

 Kai may be the cutest baby ever.  I love when the quilts I make are loved and used.

A Starry Night

I finally got a chance to put together my Do.Good Stitches blocks.  I asked for wonky stars using yellow, orange with a splash of white using a dark background.  I really like how this quilt top turned out. 

Do.Good Stitches

Surprisingly, I've completed the blocks for October and November in plenty of time.  One month's blocks  were popsicles which I thought was pretty fun.

A Finish

 I always try to have a quilt to hand stitch while watching General Conference, because it's hard for me to sit still in front of a TV with nothing to do.  I fall right to sleep. This quilt went surprisingly quick.  

Stacking Blocks

I put together one of the quilt tops from the blocks I requested this Summer from Do.Good Stitches.  It is made up of reds, blues, and purples.  

Do.Good Stitches

 July and August months were fairly simple.  I just had to go through my scrap stash to get the dark, medium, and light fabrics that fit her color pallet. Now I just have to remember to get them out in the mail before the end of the month.

Easter Table Runner

I'm feeling proud of myself that I completed my Easter table runner BEFORE Easter.  It's the little things in life.
