Button Floozie Needlecase swap 2012

This was a online swap for Button Floozies group. This is the one that I recv'd from Laurie the host of this swap. It's all vintage materials and items that were used on this needlecase. I love it. Thank you Laurie!!

 This is the one that I sent to DeeDee. I used vintage style black and cream ticking fabric for the cover and I lined it with pink wool felt, I added a pocket for scissors or thread and a page for needles. I used vintage seam binding to tie it closed. It was a lot of fun to create it.



Sneek peek for Kris

Don't want to show too much of Kris' quilt, but this is a good start. Quilting complete, now I have to do the label and the sleeve.

Broken Dishes February 2012 small quilt challenge

It's been a while since I have posted anything on my blog!! Yikes, I need to do a better job at this...
I have joined an online miniature quilt group called A Sentimental Quilter hosted by author Kathleen Tracey. We are going to sew 1 miniature quilt per month for the year. It's been alot of fun and has kept me busy! The January challenge was "Mourning Crosses". It turned out very nicely if I do say so myself. Februarys challenge was "Broken Dishes" and it's a cutie too!!
I have also joined in at Temecula Quilt Co. online blog and we are busy with a special little quilt to commemorate their 5 year anniversary called "Blessings". It's a mystery quilt, 1 block per week and we're supposed to be on our 2 nd block (not) but the beauty of this group is you can work at your own pace and the info is on the blog for the blocks, makes it easy to catch up .
And if thats not enough.... I have recently joined up with Doll Quilters Monthly group and as you guessed, there will be a quilt challenge monthly with suggestions for themes and so on, our first challenge is 3 color and is due in April.
Well I feel that "Fabric Therapy" is much less expensive and sooo much more fun than "Psychotherapy"!!!
Until next time, God Bless.....
