My Cake Block

I couldn't resist posting my completed cake block. At the last quilt group I was one of the few who didn't have at least 1 cake block done (let alone the majority that had all 10 done!) So in the next few days I slaved and got them all done! I planned on putting a cherry on top, but a friend loaned me he flower dies for another project and I noticed this flower looked exactly like the ones in the fabric. So I used Steam-a-Seam 2 and die cut the flowers, ironed them on and blanket stiched them. Here it is:

Quilted Banner with Delighted Panel

My friend bought this cute panel from the Delighted! line by Riley Blake! She put it together & I loved it so much I had to get it too. I sandwiched the panel with some thin batting and coordinating backing from the same line. I then quilted it and cut them apart with a pinking rotary cutter. I left some of the white on the edges and it looks like each flag has a cute border! I sewed around the edges to prevent fraying and used double fold pre-made binding to put it all together. I used my I-Rock tool to heat set some gems on each flag to give it a little sparkle! It's really cute! This picture doesn't do it justice... but oh well!

January Quilt Group

I'm finally getting around to posting these pictures. If I get any of the details wrong, just email me and I'll correct it!

Let's start with Barbara's Bunny Quilt! Since Easter is next week. I get hungry just looking at it! It looks just like chocolate Easter Bunnies! I was at a sale with her and she bought this pattern. By the next month she had improved the pattern and had it all done! So cute!


Next is Diane's Cardinal Quilt. It is gorgeous!


Here is a close up. The Fabric is so pretty!


And here's a close-up of the back with the fancy quilting... love it!


A few of us shared our Valentine's quilts since the meeting was just before Valentine's day.
Here's is a cute one Barbara made by fussy cutting some cute little kid fabric!


Here is Barbara's Heart Rag Quilt:


Here is my Heart Rag Quilt:


I finally finished and bound my Bookshelf Quilt so I brought it to share:


I asked Barbara to show this circle quilt made of Moda Oz fabric. I LOVE the Oz line and bought some fabric and I'm trying to decide what to make with it.


Here's a close-up.


I forgot to bring my camera to February & March Quilt meetings. But I will remember in April so I can take pictures of all the cake blocks we've made!

December Quilt Group!

Yes, I know it's March... moving on. :)

Most people brought their present quilts to the December Quilt Meeting, but I will include everyone's so they'll all be together! Since it's been so long and my memory isn't what it used to be, please let me know if I mislabeled someone's quilt or forgot to post someone's and I'll correct it asap! But let's start with what's most important, right?!?

Here are the delicious handmade & hand-dipped cookies that Diane served! They tasted amazing!


And here is a picture of the cute mugs of hot cocoa mix that Diane made for each of us! They are so darling!



Diane also made this gorgeous Christmas ornament!



Here are the Present Quilts:
I love the border fabric on Roxanne's, it's so pretty!


The detailed bows on the corner's of Barbara's are so cute!


Barbara made another present quilt with her other quilt group. I love the different sized presents!



Here is Diane's present quilt!


And she made another one with all new presents she made all herself because she's awesome!


Here is Jana's present quilt:


The fabric she found for her back is so cute:


Here is Emily's present quilt! She had hers finished last month! Love the gray!


Here is Marietta's all quilted! The ricrac is so cute!


Here is Brenda's! I love how she did her border!


And here is mine, front & back!



I also brought my Christmas Tree Quilt. It was a quilt group block swap several years ago. It was the first time I tried applique.


Marietta brought two Christmas quilts to share:



And Brenda made the CUTEST robot quilt for her grandson! It's amazing!

Bellevue Botanical Garden D'Lights!

We visited the Bellevue Botanical Garden D'Lights display tonight! So beautiful, but very cold!

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!
