Gifts from the Garden

This is the third quilt I made for Fabri-Quilt.  This is from their fabric line, Urban Garden.  I've titled this quilt "Gifts from the Garden" because it reminds me of little presents. 

I love how the yellow fabric in this really pops.


I think the block is kind of fun.  This is the more complex of the two blocks I have in the quilt. 


I love the colors of this line. 


You can really see how I quilted this on on the back.  I used yellow thread and traced the ribbons of the presents. 

This quilt will be joining Astral Summer and Flower Power in Las Vegas very soon.  The project sheet will be available here before too long. 

Crazy Chicken Bag

My mother-in-law, Momba, likes chickens. I found this fabric a while back at Hancock and couldn't pass it up. I had to make something for her out of it.
Her birthday was on the 6th of October, so I made her a bag. I based the bag off Simplicity pattern 9963, option D. My mom had made me a bag from this pattern years ago and I love it. I think it's the perfect size for so many things. The shot above is of the inside of the bag.

I made a fun star block for the front side rather than the 9 patch shown on the pattern. I paper-pieced it using a pattern I found in a book called 365 Quilt Blocks.

It turned out rather fun, don't you think? I'm happy with it.
