Bekah's 1600 Quilt

Just in time for Rebekah's 19th birthday.  I bought this Moda "Good Fortune" jelly roll in January to make a quilt for Rebekah to take with her to college.  I didn't finish it in time for her move, but I did finish it in time for her birthday. 

Baby Quilts

I have a baby shower to go to tomorrow...so of course I just finished my gift.  Not that I haven't known about the shower, it just seems that I like to work under pressure and so I wait until the last minute.

I followed this tutorial, but only had nine fabrics so I added the middle row and personalized.  I like the look of more quilt lines on the quilt that Allison did at Cluck Cluck Sew but time was not on my side so this quilt only got lines on either side of the seams.  I have already sewed another identical top together for another baby girl that has already arrived...I may quilt more lines on that one and decided which I like better.

Project Board for Projects!

One more project finished this week!  I love Pinterest...but at the same time I think I may have project idea overload because of it.  My husband suggested I create a board to match my calendar and after seeing Eighteen 25's summer to do board I was inspired!

 Here it is on the wall next to my calendar.

 And here is an upclose of my calendar.

Downy Touch of Comfort

The girls over at How Does She shared about Downy's Touch of Comfort campaign last month and I immediately knew I wanted to participate.  It is so easy.  All you do is head over to Downy and request your FREE quilt kit.  In a few short days you will receive the fabric and pattern to create a very sweet quilt for a child who is hospitalized.   You will need to provide the batting and thread and return the quilt in four to six weeks.  They even send a cute little label for you to sign and name the quilt.  Stephen named our quilt and I thought the title perfectly suited our sentiment.

Latest Projects

Now that my sewing room closet is organized I have finally been getting some projects started and finished.  The first being a Patriotic wreath for the coffee shop to display in time for the Rand McNally contest "Most Patriotic Town".  I started with $ .97 foam tubing from Home Depot.  A great idea floating around Pinterest.  I was able to create two wreaths with one tube and some duct tape!

Here is the finished project:

I made this wreath with one more of those coffee bags.  It took about 3/4 of the bag and almost a whole bag full of glue sticks.  I followed this tutorial for the burlap portion. 

Besides getting the shop ready for the Patriotic tour.  I also needed to get some Father's Day cards in the mail.  Love my cricut!  Provo Craft Craft room was offering these free digital images this month.

Last project was done a few weeks ago.  It is my binders above my desk.  Using my digital scrapbook software I came up with these covers for the binding.  I noticed that one of the Pixies over at Pixels2Pages also did this.

Sewing Room Finished

I finally organized the wonderful walk in closet in the sewing room.  Now I can actually walk in without climbing over piles and find what I need.  It all started with the search for some white embroidery thread...I knew I bought it awhile ago, but where was it?  And now here is the finished product.
