House Blocks

 This was a year long project.........For some  that is.. Cherrywood and Colorz for Quilts teamed up and did a block of the month together. The pattern chosen was Around the Block, by therabbitfactory. With a full house of takers is was exciting every month to see and hear what people were creating. Many different color ways, and techniques were bought to class. Some used fabric colors, paints, and hand work to bring there project together. WOW there is some talent! Each month we where to do a house, tree, fence, barn church, school house, rail fence or nine patch.

 I did an all over meander to mine.

 YAY done.

Have a Good Day!

Baby Quilt for a girl!

 

 A friend of mine was having a baby shower for a girl. I jumped right on that one. I'm surrounded by boys. And to have pink up in the Loft is fun. I made a simple block baby quilt 4' x 4' out of Cherrywood Fabrics 8-Step Bundle Chocolate Cherry. Cut into 5" squares and pulled out of a hat to place the blocks in there random orders. Then quilted with straight lines catching all the points. Finished it off with circles embroidered toward the bottom.      Lucky Little Girl!

 

 

 

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

 

Favorite Things

These are made by the pattern Cute Skirts

by Favorite Things pattern designs. Simple 8- panel skirt with options for a flounce or gores. I did these with Cherrywood Fabrics Corduroy in a Pewter. I found some vintage buttons for a little flare.  And the other 100% cotton in the Bark. They are super easy to make the instructions written well. And fun to wear. I'm not much of a skirt girl but there are exceptions to that rule. 

Sidelights

This was a fun little weekend quilt/wall hanging/crib quilt/or what you will. Size 46.5" x 62.5" Called Sidelights by mountainpeekcreations.  I made it out of retired Cherrywood Fabrics.

I quilted it in a fun way............

Project Batik Jelly Roll.

I finally unwrapped that Batik Jelly Roll. Moment of silence please, LOL. I bought it about 4 years ago. It's been on the shelf looking ever so pretty for a long time and I finally found the perfect project for it.

While looking online late one night. I came a cross a pattern for a  laundry basket. And thought why not make it for my round basket. Things always fall through the cracks........ of this basket and now they won't with this cute liner. Pattern found on the MODA Bake Shop.

 

 A laundry basket liner.

Have a Good Day.

Baby Shower Cup Cakes.

I was asked to do dessert for a baby shower. So I asked my mother-in-law for help. She makes the best frosting ever. With her help we made 48 cupcakes 24 white 24 chocolate. And a double layered round cake  for the Mother-to -Be to take home and enjoy. And at 8 months Prego probably didn't share with the husband. (I know I wouldn't have.) With Lots of curl ribbon, nuks, and frosting the project was complete. 
 Boy or Girl I did not know?

Fruit Holder?

I have bottles all over in my flower gardens. And now that it is summer I use them as feeders for Orioles.

Recycling, reuse, repurpose yes  indeed, I'm doing my part with Wine bottles.  Offer orange halves firmly placed on top of the bottle branches. Oriole's eat primarily insects, but in summer and fall eat fleshy fruits and berries.

 
 

Bottoms up!
