Oops I did it again!

I started another project.

Very small.

Valentine theme (timely and appropriate).

Took longer than I thought.

yes that's an Itty bitty twister uses 2.5 in squares to start finish 1 inch.

Crazy.

Cute.

(12 x 12)

now to get it quilted and displayed for this Valentine's Day.

*********

Now before I started on the baby hearts, I insisted that I finish piecing the Scrappy Happy blocks.

I really don't like this quilt.  Just keeping it honest.

Perhaps I should re-name it "Barfy Happy"...

"Happy Chaos"...

"OMG take the leftover strips AWAY from her"...

perhaps this will teach me to not deviate from the list.

Perhaps.

 And a few finish pictures:

Small Treasures.  It's hanging in the entryway.

(23 x 36)


and TA-DA!

(12 x 18)

Oh I smile every time I look at this!  Twenty years in the making. Yessiree it is hanging up and will stay up for a while.  It's not the greatest  1st rug every made but it's mine and I LOVE it.  His beard was hooked with roving which I was nervous about but it was really easy to do and looks great.

I have two ideas in the back of my little mind for my next hooking project but I really want to get a lap frame for future rugs.

And finally my dog picture of the week.

(please do notice the dog beds complete w/their own personal quilts)

"Who's house/couch is it anyway?"  OR  "Rise of the Planet of the Dogs?"


Oh these puppies crack me up.


Fun times, fun times. Life is Good.

This is on my wall. 

A new project...

How does this stuff happen?

 I do not know.  

I was looking through my 4 inch binder labeled "Quilts I'd LIKE to make".  (if I life to be 402-3)

And I saw a pattern I found here.   

Two days later this is my wall.  Well that blue block top left has been redone all scrappy, it was the first block I pieced thinking I would do a controlled color scheme, but realized I didn't have enough strips in any one fabric to do so. Hence I went scrappy-happy, which might not be a bad name...

This week I want to quilt and finish these two flimsy's:

And the binding  on H Whiskers.  

I finished quilting it yesterday. 

LOVE it!

I took these pictures late last night- will get better ones after binding is done.

And last but not least, I am STILL pulling loops on my Santa rug....finish by January....so close.

His beard gets hooked with 'roving'. That should be interesting.  

Check out what others are working on at Judy's.

Small Treasures

                                                         is a flimsy.

(23.5 x 36.5)

    I'm very happy with this little quilt!  

I am very happy to be done with 108 flying geese!

I will bind it with the same light print that I used for the skinny (1/2 inch finish) sashing. 

I spent a little time last night looking through my two L/E books by Bonnie Hunter and have started to sew my 2 inch squares together-a light and a dark-for my new leader ender.  I'm not sure which quilt I will make but after digging around in the 2 inch drawer I had a moment of "enough is enough" too many in the drawer. So we'll have to see where this one goes.

I started making Winter Scraps as a L/E but it went so fast the center is already together...no pictures yet.

Last night I pulled a LOT of loops on Skinny Santa~yes I'm still trying to finish him in January.  

I think I might just make it.

It is all together!! 

whoop-whoop!

Someone asked last week if I had a picture of the original fabric.  That's it on the floor.  

I auditioned a few fabrics I had in the stash for borders but didn't like them.  I'm going to set this aside for a bit and ponder it.

****

Small Treasures is on the wall now

I have to sew the 3rd row of flying geese together and then decide on fabrics for the rest of the quilt.  You can see a picture of the finished quilt at the end of this post here.

My Henrietta Whiskers top is loaded on HQ so hopefully I'll get that done this week too.


I'm linking up to Patchwork Times -a great way to see what others are working on.
