Spring Mini Quilt from Poppyprint

Isn't this the most beautiful little mini spring quilt!  It is from Krista over at Poppyprint.  I had to laugh when I saw it because I was making her one too and it turned out we had the same idea.  Great minds think alike I would say! LOL!  Thank you so much Krista I love it and the great Amy Butler FQ, love her fabrics.  The spring mini is hanging on the wall next to my sewing machine.

Fridays Events

Friday I woke up to my husband saying he was in pain, he had been awake since 5:00 in the morning. Turns out he had appendicitis and ended up having surgery that evening. He did not have surgery at our local hospital but at one an hour away. While there I decided to check out a quilt store Sugar Shack Quilting Co. Ltd. I had heard so much about but have never been able to go to. I ended up coming home with some goodies. :0) I got more DMC Pearl Cotton Size 5 and some great ribbon. Aren't the colors just Fab! As I was checking out I noticed this wonderful cross-stitch pattern by Mirabilia called La Nouveau Sampler. I have no idea when I will start this, but when I do you will be the first to know. I have never done anything like this before but as always I never start anything new the easy way. I just jump in with both feet and hope it turns out perfect! LOL!

My little nest of goodies!

P.S. My husband is doing fine! :0)  Got carried away with my goodies. LOL!

Square 3 Stitch-A-Long

Lovely Antique Lace

I used an off white antique lace and trimmed it out with brown pearl cotton. It stands out much better against the background then it looks in the picture. I really like antique lace.

Happy Easter!

My Little Rose Garden

As a child I was always surrounded with beautiful flowers from my grandma Lopez's flower garden.  I loved smelling the roses.  I had to smell every one. Beautiful memories playing in her yard.

Square One Stitch-A-Long

L is for Lisa

Finally my first square!  My 10 year old daughter has decided to do this with me.  I will take a picture of her progress to show you too.

Trims & Embellishments!

My fabric still has not arrived so I can start my squares for I'm Stitching-a-long. :0( I am loosing patients! :0) While I am waiting I have decided to gather some possible embellishments and trims that include vintage lace and ribbon, beads, vintage rhinestone buttons and silk ribbon. I will be using DMC and Anchor pearl cotton in size 5 and a red in size 3. I hope to have a square done for you to see early next week. Keeping my fingers crossed! Just maybe it will come on Monday!!!

Happy Mail!

Look what I got in the mail today! :0) I am so, so, so, thrilled with the quilt I got from Beth for DQS8. The fabric, the colors, little birds in the tree, everything is perfect! Not only did I get the best little quilt but she sent me a little bag and the fabrics she used in the quilt. I am sooooooooooo lucky. Thank you so much Beth, I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful package. You are awesome!

I'm Stitching Along

I just found out about this wonderful little stitch along at 39 Squares a couple of days ago. I quickly ordered some osnaburg fabric and am patiently waiting for it to arrive so I can start.  By the time it gets here I will be 14 days behind I am sure. Will have a lot of catching up to do. Can't wait! As if I don't have enough on my plate with 2 jobs, a family a big house to clean and other sewing projects to finish. LOL!  I can't help myself. LOL!

"Celebration Quilt" For DQS8 Finished

Thought I would show you the doll quilt I sent out to.....? Can't tell you yet because my secret partner has not received it yet. I call this quilt the "Celebration Quilt" because it can be used for birthdays, anniversaries etc... I am half way done with the second one for my girls and am thinking of making more to put in my Etsy store. What do you think?

UPDATE!
She go it and she loves it!  Sheeeew  I feel better. :0)  This little quilt went to Trisha at TLC Stitches.
