Stocking Garland
My friend, Lacey, made this beautiful stocking garland for me for Christmas! I put it up in my front room!
My Present Quilt Finished!
I finished my present quilt a few weeks ago! I love it! It was such a fun trade with the quilt group! I made a scrappy border and used a striped binding. I added a scrap of the packman fabric to the binding for some fun!
Here's the back! I used the theme fabric on the bottom, a stripe of extra present blocks that I got from some friends, and a fun green polka dot to the top!

October Quilt Group!
Wow! There were so many amazing projects finished by members of the quilt group this month!
Marietta made these cute pillows for her mom for Christmas! Here are tutorials on how to make the pleated and shag pillows!
She also recovered her kitchen chairs! So cute!
She made this Halloween Garland so quickly using Steam-a-Seam 2 and a zigzag blade on her rotary cutter!
She also finished her present quilt top! She's going to attach the red rickrack after it's been quilted!
Emily brought this amazing knitted stocking advent calendar that her mom made! It made me wish I was a little more skilled it the knitting department!
Here's a close-up of my favorite stocking:
Emily finished both of her Christmas quilt tops! Here is her present quilt:
Here is her Christmas quilt made from the Kitchen Window Pattern from The Practical Guide to Patchwork by Elizabeth Hartman.
Diane finished 3 quilts this month! Here is her pinwheel quilt... it looks a lot like the one I made with these blocks that we swapped... I donated mine and I still miss it!
Here is her cute Halloween Circle quilt! I love how she used a blanket stitch on her circles (as opposed to the zig zag stitch I used on mine). I also love the circle swirl quilting in the middle of the circles!
And here is her Scientist Halloween Quilt!
A close-up of my favorite block!
Brenda finished her present quilt top too!
Barbara finished her quilt top and spent hours of time on these small cute bows that she is going to add to the corners:
And here is her quilt!
My favorite of her creations this month is this adorable pillow! Love the puff ball trim!
Brenda was hostess this month and she made a scrumptious dessert! Ginger-Pumpkin bread with homemade caramel sauce and apples! If you use the recipe be sure to add 1 cup of roughly chopped pecans like she did!
We've reached the end of the post and you've probably realized that I haven't listed anything I've completed this month... well, my one quilting accomplishment is that I've trimmed my present blocks and have them all arranged how I would like to sew them together! It's too bad I didn't have time to sew them together before the meeting because now I'm seriously reconsidering my arrangement... should I add sashing, or make it 5x5 instead of 4x6? Everyone else's quilts were so cute! What am I to do? :)

Quilt Group
Last night our quilt group met! We exchanged our first set of present blocks and they were all so cute! Mine is the super-cute owl one!
Diane finished this amazing seahorse quilt:
Barbara finished 2 pinwheel quilt tops from our pinwheel block exchange a few years ago and her bookshelf quilt!
My flash must not have worked for this picture... the quilt looks so much better in person!
In the bookshelf quilt I made the white snowdrop flower on the bottom shelf of Barbara's quilt as one of the blocks I exchanged. It is the first paper piecing I've ever done. The first block took me 4 hours to make, but once I knew what I was doing the rest of the blocks only took me an hour each!

My Pinwheel Quilt Donation
I just realized that I didn't post a finished picture of my pinwheel quilt! It turned out so cute that I really didn't want to donate it. But I was told that it was the favorite item and earned a lot of money for the reunion. I bought $20 in raffle tickets trying to win it back, but alas I did not win! :) I absolutely LOVE the binding I found for it!

Hot Fudge Sauce
I tried this Hot Fudge Sauce today. It was pretty good... it took forever for the marshmallows to melt, but it was yummy!
