Color Our World

It's that time of the year again. The kiddos school is getting ready for their annual Parent Club auction and once again The kindergarten class and I have worked to make a quilt with they're self-portraits. This is perhaps my most favorite project that I do all year and I look forward to it. I love seeing all of the kiddos little personalities as I am putting the quilt together and they work so hard to make their individual square fun and unique.

Notice my handy quilt holders :-)

I was finally able to get the top completed for our kindergarten class for the school auction. I am quite please with how it turned out. Now it is off to the quilter.

It's Time For A Picnic

I picked up the picnic quilt Friday from the quilter and it turned out beautifully. The binding has been added and just needs to be completed.

The Kindergarten teacher asked me if I would do a quilt for her class again this year. We have had a bit of trouble connecting but it is slowly coming together. One of the children in her class has been absent for an extended time so we are awaiting her little self portrait and then we can finish it up.

Taking Turns

I was recently gifted a large quantity of 1930's reproduction fabrics and have been having loads of fun with them since doing fun things for the girls' bedroom. Here is a quilt top in progress and completed for one of the girls' beds. Another quilt for the other is in the works but is on the back burner at the moment as quilts for their school auction need to get completed.

Let's Have A Picnic

My Children's school is getting for their annual auction and each of their classes has settled on a theme for their class basket. Sarah's class decided they wanted to do a camping themed basket and one of the parents thought it would be great to have a picnic blanket to include. So my thinking cap went on and this is what I came up with:

 Each of the children in Sarah's class did a finger print ant around the boarder and signed their name to personalize the quilt. The top is now ready to visit my favorite quilter.

Pinwheels In The Works

I made a pinwheel sampler quilt from this fabric back in the spring for my daughter's teacher and was so excited that there was enough to make a second quilt from it since it turned out so beautifully. Well I finally have gotten started on it and am just as pleased the second time around.

Pink and Grey

Another fall posting that got missed, this quilt was made for a co-worker's daughter. This particular co-worker asked me early last year do make a quilt for each of her three daughters. This one was the last of the three and was completed in September.
I loved how easy and quick this was to make but yet pretty at the same time. It has me thinking that the girls need new quilts for their beds.

Butterscotch and Roses

Some how I missed posting about this project back in the fall so I thought I'd share it now. I shared the quilt top back in August while it was in progress but here it is with a few pillows/cushions I made with the scraps. The pillows and quilt went to a co-worker, the pillows for her birthday in September and the quilt for Christmas.

Charmalade Top

Finished the top today. I LOVE IT! Can't wait to see it quilted and bond.

Charmalade

I started Moda Bakeshop's Charmalade this week using Fig Tree's Butterscotch and Roses Charm squares. I am doing this as a Christmas gift for a friend and coworker and wanted it to be a bit larger then the one in the tutorial so I am using an extra pack of charm squares. It is coming along slowly but surely, what with working and kiddos but it promises to be quite lovely.

Pinwheel Sampler Completed

Today we gave my daughter's teacher the quilt I made for her. This teacher has taught three of my four children a total of four years and this was a gift to express our gratitude for all that she has done for our children.
