Blogger’s Quilt Festival

Amy over at Amy’s Creative Side is hosting the third Blogger’s Quilt Festival.   Over 650 people have entered their quilts this week.  There are so many amazing and talented people in blogland.

Here is my very last minute entry:

This was a quilt for a coworker expecting her first baby, a son, in March.  It was made during round 5 of the Old Red Barn Co quilt along on flickr led by Dana.  It was my first experience with pinwheels and I loved it.  The quilt was made with an animal alphabet charm pack and white solid.    The backing was my favorite part of the quilt! 

All quilted, bound and washed just prior to running out the door to the shower!

Thanks for visiting!

Sunday Stash

I don't think I ever do these...but I added some cute fabric to my stash this week so I thought, why not?!

Friday night was the first sewing night of the Philly Modern Quilt Guild.  I drove over an hour through rain, wind and traffic to get there, but it was worth it!  I got the binding sewn onto my animal alphabet pinwheel quilt (which I LOVE) and picked up some new fabric while in the shop.  How could I resist?

3 yards of Blush by Basic Grey for Moda.  Yummy!  Believe it or not, I don't really have any WIPs.  So I might just have to cut this up soon!  

Such a busy weekend!  Saturday I drove through more wind, rain, and flooded roads to a baby shower to give mommy-to-be the animal alphabet quilt.  I literally pulled it out of the dryer, wrapped it, and walked out the door!  Talk about last minute finishes....but here it is all quilted.

Here is a close up of the backing...so cute!

Hope you had a great weekend!

“A” is for …

Animal Alphabet…

Yet another baby quilt and hopefully my last for quite a  little bit.

This is my first attempt at pinwheels and so far I’m loving it.  Charm packs make it quick and easy peasy to put together!

The fabrics are so colorful and fun…perfect for a little one!

Here is the top all put together with a cute baby blue border.  Fabric is Animal Alphabet by Moda with some white solids mixed in.  Another attempt at stippling…we’ll see!  I see basting/quilting in the near future since this one will be gifted on Saturday!
