Oh no, up she goes!

Yes, can you believe this kid can climb a ladder all by her self.  The second I saw here do this (OK after I took pictures) I took the ladder down and let Jared know he will have to climb up the side, the ladder is gone until his little sister is a little older. 

When not climbing, she likes to hang out, on the shelve under "mom's sewing desk" playing with scraps.

Strips of minky make great scarves. She is now officially 18 months old

Richard's Star Quilt

Well my long last desire of a quilt for my own bed is getting a little closer.  I now have the center block of the quilt done.  The above block is 40 inches by 40 inches (yes, this is yet again another one of my stars)

Here are a couple shots of the main star with a few of the 20 inch brown and turquoise blocks around it.

Well, no time to yack I have a million 2 1/2 inch blocks to still sew.

Color Blast Quilt - Blue and Yellow

Queen Size Color Blast Quilt created by Margaret Hayes

Today I would like to share the above Color Blast Quilt made from my Pattern for sell on Craftsy I first created this pattern and the first quilt from it below (Ugly as my wife told me then) while Tanya was pregnant with Julia and too tired to complain about my orange quilt.  Tanya is not so much a fan of my Orange but she has completed one and mad a top for another out of the Color Burst (as she calls it) pattern which she loves.

The Blue and Yellow quilt above is a queen size version of the color blast quilt and wow can I say Amazing.  It is the biggest to date that I know of made out of my pattern.  It was made by Margaret Hayes who bought the pattern on Craftsy back in May.

2 Million and Growing

I am a fan of Craftsy and I proudly sell my patterns there.  They have hit a big Milestone this week (2 milling users) and they are having a sell on all their classes and I wanted to make sure no one missed it.

To help them celebrate along with getting a great deal on their classes and supplies I will give away a copy of my pattern "Windows Quilt"  This is a accidental design of mine based on the first pieced quilt Train Wrek that I made when I first started quilting.  If you would like this pattern free please just put a comment on this post and let me know and I will send you a copy.  Please visit Craftsy and sign up if you never have as It it a great site and as a affiliate of theirs I make a little money too which helps support my blogging activities.

If you feel supper generous make a comment on one of my patterns their which will help them stay high in the ratings.

Baby Shower Gift

This is a quilt made for a baby shower gift for church.  The front is made of charms in lavender and black prints.  I used leftover prints from the custom charm square quilt last month. The back is lavender minky.

It is the gift from the church.  It the first one I have made, the other new moms have wanted freezer meals.  I am really hoping she likes it.  She is not real traditional.

I made the top and Richard was nice enough to quilt it for me.  They wanted to have the top so that we could tie it, but I am not really into tying quilts so much anymore especially with a pieced top.. I like the machine quilted look.  Am I the only one that has ever not wanted a quilt tied after piecing the top?

Rag Quilt # 10 and winner.

This quilt is technically not from the flannel stash that Richard cut up, but wasn't purchased for this specific quilt.   The flannel is leftover from the twin sized custom owl rag quilt and the minky from the rainbow quilt completed earlier this week.

I had the quilt on the chair, but Julia decided I should take a picture of her instead, as she threw the quilt off.

I ended up taking her back in the house, so I could finish taking pictures.  Julia really likes this quilt, she seems to like pink.  She tries to claim any pink quilt.

I guess she didn't see me take the pictures on her crib or she would have been mad.

Now the exciting part. The winner of LAFF for August is Tanya of Tanya Quilts  in Co http://tanyaquiltsinco.blogspot.com/2013/08/end-of-summer-finish.html.  She has been emailed.
