My 2013 Calendar and a finish from 2012

Here's my cute 2013 calendar that I found back in October at Quilting by the Yard in Vernon, CT.  I had to travel to Hartford, CT for training for work, and we had an extra day to hit some quilt shops.  It was great fun.

 And here is my sock monkey quilt that I made for my cousin's little boy Charlie.  It's a twin size quilt, I was planning on having it ready for his birthday in September, but didn't quite get it completed.  So I saved it for Christmas.  

I made a stripey back and embroidered a label. I quilted it using horizontal straight lines. 

Around the Zoo Completed

I finished my "Around the Zoo" quilt. It's a baby quilt with fun zoo prints.

I quilted it with swirls in the circles, which was lots of fun to quilt. And I also did squiggly diagonal lines between the circles.

And for the back I just used the Alexander Henry 2D Zoo print. The binding is a Kona solid (I can't remember which shade of blue).

Blogger's Quilt Festival - Fall 2010

This quilt is my latest finish made from Moda Fresh Squeezed fabrics. I finished it a few weeks ago, but decided to reveal it at the Blogger's Quilt Festival. I used a layer cake to make this one. I really like how it turned out, it's bright and cheery and very orange.

Here is the back, I used some of the extra 10"x 10" squares in random positions.

And here is the quilting, I used little loopy swirls. Overall this was just a fun quilt to put together.

A Quilt Completed

Troy wanted to be in the picture with the quilt. He's such a little ham.

I finished the binding on Wednesday night. It only took me 3 days to quilt it last week. I love the colors and I like the paisley binding too.

I tried doing the tumbling squares on the back and am happy with how they turned out. I might have to try a whole quilt like this.

A Quilt Top and a Finished Quilt

Here's a quilt top I put together last week using some of those fun Alexander Henry jungle prints and some other nice bright fabrics (Monaluna Mingles, Kona School Bus Orange, Kona Chartruse, and not sure the name on the Kona blue). I followed the pattern that Allison at Cluck Cluck Sew posted a few weeks ago.

And here is my finished quilt using the Kona Coal fabric as the background. I quilted it using the pebble quilting. I'm really happy with the finished result. Here it is after being washed and dried.

Finished Quilt

Here's a little baby quilt I just finished. I tried the 1/2 square triangles on this one. They pieced together so quickly. For the back I used an Anna Maria Horner Chocolate Lollipop fabric.

A Finished Quilt

Here is my finished Whirly Gigs quilt. I finished quilting it awhile ago, but just finished the binding last night. I am really happy with how it turned out, the colors are great. I did the back with simple wonky squares. Now I have to decide what to do with this one.
