BUGS In A Jar

For This pattern go to http://bugjarquilt.blogspot.com

I had fun making this little boy baby quilt. It is fast and easy to make. I can see this quilt for a girl too with fairy's instead of bugs. you could also find fabric with food on it and make a picnic quilt. Just so many things you could do. See what you come up with.






I am off to my next quilt.
Hope you enjoy

Update Jan 2011

Howdy everyone. Just a little update. With the holidays and wedding and Birthdays and home improvement done its time to get back to my quilts.

I really needed the down time. You know sometimes real life gets going to fast; so slow it down and enjoy family and friends and even that quiet moment that is way over due.

Well i am back to work. I have finally got the hexagon quilt in the frame. Doing the hand quilting. I am sure it will be loved. (pic already on blog)

Hope ya'll had a good Christmas and New Years.

Customers Hexagon

Thought i would let ya'll see what i am working on its not done.
Got behind with Thanksgiving and birthdays and my oldest sisters wedding but i will get it finished during late Jan 2011. Got to hand quilt it. The hexagons are all hand sewed together. It is basted and ready to go in the frame.
Hope you enjoy.

My sister's wedding. i caught them kissing. Big congrats to both of them.
Well that's all for now.

Customers Nine Patch

Just finished this Nine Patch. The customer put this top together. I hand quilted it for her. I love the older fabric's in this quilt. Love all the reds too.
Got more quilts going. Just takes a while to finish them. Will post more pic's later.
Hand sewed Binding.

This is the back of the quilt. Hand quilted 4 inch squares.

That's it for now.

Place Mats Part 2

Here is the second part of the Place mats.








Cut your batting and back about 1/2" larger than the front. Lay out as in picture and sew 1/2" around leaving an opening to turn the right side out. Trim close after sewing and before you turn it.


Now you are almost done. After you turn to the right side you need to close the open end. I sewed around mine with 2 rows of stitches. To finish stitch in the ditch.
All done. I made this set of four and gave it to my sister-in-law. (she loved it)
Feel free to copy and paste and make your own set with fabric you love.

july 4th Place Mats Part 1

I decided while i am here to go ahead and add the place mats. They are easy to make and fun for a small project. These make nice gifts too.
Press all of row 1 seams in one direction. I press to the dark side.

Hot Hot Hot. The weather that is.
Spent the last two weeks with my grandkids. Love having them around me.
They teach me things and i teach them things. Fun Fun Fun. I love it.

Well now its back to my sewing and other projects.
