Another quilt finished!

I just finished the other Turning 20 I started on Sunday. Click the link for my pictures to see it and everything I have ready for purchase. I am working daily to add to my stock of available items. Of course, if you see something you like in my past creations, it can be re-created in the original colors or different ones. Remember, Christmas is only 14 weeks away and now is the time to order that perfect handmade gift! Be sure to look at my facebook page too     :)

New quilt size

Here is a new quilt size. I really like this pattern - it's called Turning 20. On the regular pattern, 20 fat quarters are used. Each one is cut into 4 pieces - 1 is set aside for the border and the other three are mixed up and sewn back together. This one I wanted a little smaller than the regular twin size. I used 12 fat quarters and no border. This size is 62" x 46". I don't know what to call it though. It is bigger than a lap but smaller than a twin. What comes between those? Rocking chair size? Loveseat size? Chaise lounger size? I'm still working on it. So this is available for purchase, $150. Remember there is no shipping and this would make a great Christmas gift! I have another one I'm starting today.

Another quilt finished

After making a trip around the world quilt for my goddaughter Fallin, I decided to use the same fabrics to make one for myself. She didn't want any floral prints or animal prints and just black & white. That made it a little difficult to find 7 or 8 different fabrics for the quilt. I had to go to several stores but did find everything we wanted. Several fabrics were polks dots, which I love, so that made my decision to make one for me (oh, and the fact that I love that girl!!).
Shortly after that I heard from a friend in Texas who would be involved in an auction this month. She lost a daughter to spinal muscular atrophy about 5 years ago and is still fighting to find a cure. I volunteered my black & white quilt for the auction. I finally finished it this weekend, and will be sending it to her tomorrow. I picked out more polka dots for the backing, yellow background with multi-colored dots. I love it!!! I hope whoever wins it will love it as much as I do and as much as Fallin loves hers. Here's a picture of it:
This is a lap size, 56" x 42" and the regular price for this size is $125. I can make these in all colors and prints and it is one of my favorite styles.
For anyone who is interested in the auction, you can go to Kelly's blog at www.TexasSMAAuction.blogspot.com and see all that has been donated and bid on anything.
