Twister Table Runner

I am not sure why but I have been better lately at working on and completing projects then I have been at posting them.  I have edited pictures that have been siting here for a month that I have never posted about.  This twister is an example.  It has been since January that it was done I just never found the time to post it.  Some what because I did not love the pictures but mostly because I just kept forgetting.  

While about a week ago now this twister, along with another similar to it.  And a twister quilt was all sold on Etsy.  So since they are now out of site and out of mind I might as well post them so I can remove them from the pile waiting to post about.

And since I am posting things that are just collecting dust in my pictures folder here are a few tops that I have finished making some of which are now completed quilts that just need pictures

These are all tops that I have completed, hung on my bedroom wall and taken a snap shot of.

My favorite of which is my diagonal.  I did finally quilt and bind it last night (this picture of it being quilted is 3 weeks old you can tell I am slacking) And I cant wait to get it washed and good pictures as it looks fantastic.

Triangle Quilt Along Cutting Day

I am joining the Triangle Quilt Along.    You can click on the link on my side bar or follow this link to find more info about it.  I think there was over 100 people that linked up last week for their fabric pick.  These are my triangles that I have cut.   They are a from a fat quarter bundle that Tanya bought.  The name of the bundle is Wishes from Sweet Water.  

On Saturday, Tanya made a cake for Julia for her B-day I think it is a fitting end to this post.  Oh and for any one that missed Friday's post we are having a giveaway go check it out if you have not entered.

Link A Finish Friday #111 and Julia's 2nd Birthday Giveaway!

For any one that does not remember why Tanya and I got into quilting in the first place it was Julia.  No she is not our first kid, she is the 4th.  In fact her older brother is 18 years old.  I learned to quilt, because I did not know any one that could make my at that time unborn baby a quilt.  Giving away is part of her B-day.  Do not fear we got her something too.

Our gift for you our followers is 6 Fat Quarters.  Below you can see the fabric you can win.  As for Julia, she has her boons (balloons) as she calls them.  Her grandmother bought her the pj's that says Its my B-Day!

So what do you have to do to win? That is a good question.  Tanya some times gives me grief, because I make it too hard and sometimes I think she makes it too easy.  I figure if you want a present you will work a little for it.  So this is what I would like.  For the easy entry Link Up to LAFF and leave a comment saying you did.  For a bonus entry, visit our Craftsy Patterns and leave a comment on one and then come back here and leave a comment.  If that is not enough for you and you really want to knock it out of the park, feel free to share our giveaway with your friends on either you blog, pin the giveaway, Facebook about it or share what ever other way you would like and leave a comment about it.

Well it is now time to link up (and enter the giveaway), next week I will make it up and do some highlights from this week and last week.  But for me, I am just going to hug and kiss Julia all day today as she is growing up. The giveaway for Julia's birthday will end Thursday, April 3rd.

Photo's Taken

This is just a small collection of the pictures we took.  The folder containing the pictures has over 300 after we deleted the really bad ones and then started editing the pictures.  Since this is just our first time trying harder at taking better pictures they look all the same.  We will be doing more pictures and more props to take the pictures as time goes on.

If you have any suggestions for taking pictures or staging the quilts please let me know.  As I said Tanya took pictures while I quilted so all of these great shots are thanks too her.  I did help edit about half the picture and I showed Tanya how to add my water mark but the rest is all her and I think they turned out great.
