Icing on the Cake (BED?!)

Scraps turned into matching pillows for the guest bed quilt.

The pattern...(done by hubby)--love him! 

They look good enough to snuggle with...don't you think???!!

who made the CUT

200 (4") squares from the Rainbow swap and a VERY happy quilter!

Simple.
A quick pick me up.

Zig zaggin' my way through them.  (he,he,he)


<<<<<<<<<<<<<1st commission quilt>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Yes.  They are baseballs.  I am a magnet for the baseball theme I guess;)  All for a very good cause here.  A new baby boy coming any day now.  BUT this one doesn't have to be finished quickly though.  Relax---just do it!  (isn't that a song)

Red,white and blue are the go to colors for this bad boy.  I wanted something to replicate a baseball diamond.  Here is my inspiration pic.  Conveniently, I saw this while linking up at Quilt Story.  Love when that happens! 

These HST's got a hold on me I tell ya!  Lovin' every bit of it!

 Playing around with some quilt labels too!!  More to come on those...


Hear me out on this next one!  

If you do not swap, SWAP!!!  Easy advice right?!

It is FABulous:):):):)

 I think this obsession with Tanya Whelan started a couple weeks ago looking at Tasha Noel's blog.  I thought, Man look at that stack of goodness sitting there staring at me over and over again!  Did some searching and yacking over at Talkin' Tuesdays and VIOLA!!  YUMMINESS has entered my studio--- well more of it anyway;).


And then some more fun prints,he,he,he...

 It is also nice to receive from friends too!  My friend Deb over at Easily Distracted Debra sent me surprise goodies last week.  Thank you again Deb for the amazing surprise!  

A book I have been wanting (w/o her knowing),Jennifer Paganelli fabric (yum!) ,Connecting thread Tweet,Tweet line.  She even cut me some dresden plates with her Accuquilt!!  AND a nail file.  Deb thought of everything and read my mind .  I love it all!!!!!  Deb you are too sweet!!!

 *****Oh,almost forgot too!  My friend Pam (different one now!), has a friend named Craig whom quilts.  He is entered into the McCall's Design Star contest.  He made it into the 1st challenge round and now needs people to go vote for his marvelous quilt.  So go do it for Craig!!!  And VOTE every day,once a day for the next 2weeks!  You know you would want others to do it for you if you had a quilt in this contest;)  Peer pressure,  ahhhh;)*****

Quilting away 'til next time,
