Making Up for Lost Time/Goodbye 2017

This year wasn't a big blogging year for me

but I usually can be found on Instagram.

I have missed blogging here and will be making it

a priority this year!

I have a #@$%@ load of photos to share...

so if you have a few minutes grab a cup of coffee

and enjoy!

This quilt is one of my favorites for the year.

I was a part of the Stitched by Art Gallery Fabrics

This pattern was Filigree... and I put my own little spin on it.

I really love AGF fabrics. They have such a nice feel to them.

I made a couple of quilts for the Fat Quarter Shop Classics and Vintage

 series

quilt along.

This Jaccobs Ladder was a fun pattern... and it's a free one

too!

This is another of the FQS fun quilt along patterns!

I used my never ending supply of Pam Kitty Morning fabrics!

This is another free pattern by FQS.

I finally got to use me bicycle fabric

as a border!

This one was my least favorite. I liked all the fabrics individually

but I think that the beigey-pink fabric just washes it all out! 

I might re approach this one. 

I also went into a Lella Boutique binge...

the top one is Chandelier from the Charm School book

and the one below is Kith and Kin from

Lella Boutique using her fabrics!

This one was another Lella Boutique quilt.

Her patterns are so fun to make!

I was a part of the Table Runner book blog hop with

Sheri Falls. I made up a couple of 

cute table runners from the book!

It is a great book! This one above

 would be so cute in Valentine's Day fabrics too!

I asked a few friends to help me make this cute little 

Dachshund quilt as a gift for a sick friend. It was quilted and bound

for her by the time she returned home from the hospital. 

The sad part of the story is that her own Dachshund  

actually passed away before she got home. .. how heartbreaking is that?

I finally made a couple of little projects from Temecula Quilt Co.

in time for Independence Day decor!

I had these tops done (top and bottom photos) last

year but I got them quilted and bound this year!

I love them both so much! 

The quilt pictured above is Hyde Park and it's a sample

that I got to make for the FQS... using 

A Quilting Live fabrics! The kit is available now on the FQS

website. These blocks are.. I think... 16", so they make up 

fast... and large!

I made a Norway quilt from the Me and My Sister Christmas fabric line.

I know it's going to be amazing once my quilter gets done with it!

This was a fun little sewing project... inspired by

Thelma at Cupcakes n Daisies.

And I'm not sure which came first... but we both

worked on a Fallville

quilt using the Thimble Blossoms

pattern, Summerville.

Now I need a Spring and Christmas version of the pattern too!

This was a fun batik quilt... I used the 

Cake Mix Recipe Book #1 and the Cake Mix recipe sheets

 by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. 

 The book includes several options like this one

  to make Fondant.

This is a little Christmas pillow... minus the pillow form

that I made... along with a couple other pillows and I even made a 

sling purse this year!

But my very most favorite is this quilt...

 Remember the AP&Q Sew Along... well, I never did it but

a couple years later...last summer there was a sew along... so I 

jumped in on it!

okay, and this one!

This was another sew along... by Sew Lux (if I remember right)

So, to sum it up... I had a busy year of quilt making, even if 

I wasn't good about blogging. 

I get a little overwhelmed with life and found that it was a little bit

hard to blog. My friend that was in the hospital... I helped out

with the business end of things

in her quilt shop

 for 5 months along with my 

full time job...

so you see what I mean. 

This year...

I hope to work on some projects

 that I keep 

putting off 

but mostly I 

will focus on sewing my stash!
