Twin Size little pink owl's Quilts

This week you get a extra rag quilt post.  In addition to Quilt #4 from the stash you have its big sister.  #4 was finished a couple weeks back and was just waiting its turn when we were commissioned on Etsy to create a Twin Size version of it.  This picture is the quilt laying on my queen size bed, so its a bigger sized twin and will work as a great quilt to hang over the bed.  This quilt like its little sister is already sold.

Link A Finish Friday #78

Today is starting with Quilt #4 from the stash by my wife Tanya.  She is trying to get rid of some of the back log of flannel we bought on sale before Christmas last year and over the last week and half I have been cutting and she has been sewing.  I know that so far there are at least 9 quilts made from them.  

Winner for the month of July for the Fat Quarter Shop Gift Certificate is Karen of Quilty Creations she linked up the above image from her July 7th post about Something Old Something New Challenge

It is now time for Link A Finish Friday.  Today I would like to start with a big thank you to Fat Quarter Shop who has offered to Sponsor our Link A Finish Friday with Prizes.  This month's winner (August) will win a $15 gift certificate to spend at Fat Quarter Shop.

Color Star Quilt

Tanya and I started working on a new pattern.  It is based on a quilt that my wife has made a few times now.  It is is one of the quilts that my wife has made the pattern for that I really enjoy.  I am twisting her arm to make the pattern so we can sell it.  She has made a rag quilt version and a pieced quilt version, I will show them both below.  Tell me what you guys think of this pattern.

I think the two previous versions star stands out more.  I like the newest one, but it will most likely will have the star stand out better once its quilted and washed.  Any way hope you enjoy this quilt and look forward to seeing the pattern on on Craftsy.

6 Fat Quarters Fabric Giveaway

It has been far too long since I have had a giveaway and so today to celebrate a great and fun and active summer I would like to give away 6 Fat Quarters from the line Secret Garden a Michael Miller fabric line.  Tanya and I have been busy this last month.  In addition to the quilts and patterns we want to do personally we have had 2 quilts that have been made (one made and one in process) for customers on Etsy.  And to add a crazy twist to our life my oldest son James just got a job away from home.  He is on a construction crew in a small town 4 hours drive from home.  So to celebrate the joy of success in making quilts and the sadness (or happiness) of our oldest leaving home for the first time. We are giving away this pile of fabric to 1 lucky winner.

Rag Quilt #4 From Stash

This is a pink and owl quilt from our stash.  It is rag quilt #4 from our flannel stash.

We added it to our Etsy store and it has already sold.

We have been making a twin size version as well for a custom order on Etsy, that one we had to go buy more flannel for.
