Little projects

 I have been doing a lot of little projects lately.

This is my latest effort to use my scraps. This is what t looked like in progress.

This is the finished product.  I don't have a lot of seasonal home decor, but my door needed something new and I love wreaths.

 One thing I would do differently is not use styrofoam wreath forms. I finished putting the fabric on and hung it on a door knob and I knocked it off and the small trip down to the ground was enough force to make it break in half. Nothing that a little hot glue couldn't fix, but I definitely need something more sturdy.

I am also doing a lot of little project for my quilt guild. Last month we learned about 3D quilt blocks. and this is one of the adorable little blocks I made to go with the project we are doing. It is tiny! Each square was cut to 2 inches square. 

I have also been getting a few custom orders for the boxes I listed on Etsy.  These are for a really nice lady from Canada to put her wool crafty pieces in. They are 14 by 11 by 11 inches. A little bigger then I am used to but they worked out and she loves them!

This quilt took forever, which made me love it even more.

Look closely as the stiple quilting.

That was a lot of work. and I love the scrapiness of it. 

The view from above.


I pulled out all my scraps and organized them by color. I was hoping to have enough to do at least on quilt. I think I have enough to make 12 or more! I guess I better do more scrap projects!

The Blue June Quilt

 I have a goal to make at least one quilt a month. This is my June quilt.

I call it the Cheater Quilt.  It is a panel of fabric with no piecing involved. I just made my sandwich and quilted it together.

I love the design of the fabric. It is so adorable with the birds, paisleys, flowers, polka dots, and elephants. 

It is so adorable and simple!

Spring Flower Hexie Wall Hanging

 This was my first summer project.  So much fun!

HMQS 2014 Favorites

Here are some of my favorite quilts from the Home Machine Quilting Show in Salt Lake last week.

This one is completely non-conventional. Lots of open space with little metal steam punk bits connecting the circles together.

All of the shading  and lines are done with stitching. It is really amazing to see up close. The gears in the mans chest are actual little metal embellishments.

The person who made this one made it for her daughter and son in law. It is their favorite music albums. They are all appliqued.

You can not see it from the picture but there are 27,000 crystal embellishments on this quilt. It is amazing!

Monty Python and the Holy Grail!

The little triangles on this one is called flying geese. I think it is hillarious. Flying geese with flying geese!

This one is amazing too. There are so many angles and sizes of pieces. The pieces in the center are only about 1 cm big finished size!

Giant Purple Dahlia

This has been my obsession for the last six months and now it is my masterpiece! Enjoy!
