Quilt Square Along

Today I am linking up with the Quilt Square Along over at Jo's Country Junction. The Bear's Paw square was the square picked for February. The square patterns are from Lori Smith. I finished mine (with a few problems) and hand quilted it. I have it displayed in my living room on one of my end tables. You can go over to Jo's and see all the cute squares that others have done. and see the square that she picked for March. It is stars and looks very sweet!

My laptop is still giving me fits about adding links so let me try to add one here:

Bad Picture Day

Happy Bad Picture/Valentine's Day! I finished hand-quilting my little quilt from Kathleen Tracy's Book "Prairie Children and Their Quilts" It is so dark here my pictures are all terrible. I promise my living room walls are not this color.A few of my Valentine gifts from my sweetheart. I gave him a break and told him what I would like:) I also got some fabric...and may be in for a few more surprises;)


I am loving having my little quilts out so I can see them. I hope everyone has a wonderful day full of lots of love..and some chocolate..and right now, a pink cupcake is calling my name:)

Broken Dishes

I just wanted to share a quick pic of my little Broken Dishes quilt. This little quilt finishes at 18x22. Kathleen Tracy, author of Prairie Children and their Quilts and several more books is doing a quilt a month from 1 of her books. This sweet quilt is February's quilt.

So now I need to get busy quilting this quilt and my Bear Paw. I will then have to take a little break from these small quilts and get my niece's graduation quilt started.

GROWL!

Well, here is my little Bear's Paw quilt square for Jo's Quilt Square Along. It has some problems. I will do a little hand-quilting on it then link it up with others at the end of the month. Right now, I'm just glad that it is done. It finishes at 12x12.

Pink Lemonade Quilt Show


Today I am linking up with Lori from Humble Quilts. Lori hosted the cutest quilt along! She named the quilt Pink Lemonade and when I saw it, I knew I wanted to make me one. Her instructions and pictures were the best. I had SO much fun making this little quilt. I just love how it turned out. Go over to Lori's and see some of the other sweet quilts!
Thank You Lori for hosting and sharing such a fun quilt along!

Quilt Square Along

Today I am linking up with others at Jo's Country Junction. Jo is hosting a monthly square along using some of Lori Smith's cute quilt square patterns. The first square is this sweet log cabin. It finishes out at 12x12. It was so much fun to make and I can't wait for the next square to be announced. Go over to Jo's a look at all the other quilt squares. So many pretty log cabins!
I have decided to display my square (which I did hand quilt) on my kitchen table. I put this little milk glass hen on it. My grandmother gave me the little hen and I just cherish it. I have had to wash my square twice already (i have boys) and each time that I take it out of the dryer all crinkly and soft..I love it even more!

FNSI Results

I had a very nice FNSI. Thanks Bobbi for hosting! I got my little Pink Lemonade quilt all finished up! I put the binding on Saturday while we were having some thunder storms. This little quilt is from a quilt-along that Lori from Humble Quilts hosted. It is a fun sweet little quilt. Here it is fresh from the dryer. It was dark here all day so I could'nt get a good picture.
and here I tried to "style" my picture:( I need to work on that!
