another Finish and maybe another Start

I finished embroidering all the sweet flowers on my 'Flower quilt'. So the top is done. ( excuse my toes in the photo)

Here are a few close ups of the blocks so you can see the embroidery.

One of my favorites is that sunflower in the green bordered block.

This pattern is a Bareroots Pattern called "Flower Quilt". Very fun to make. She will be hanging up at the shop ( Quilting Adventures) where you can buy the pattern.

Should I or should I not start this new ( 3 weeks in) Quilt a Long? We have this book (The Famer's Wife) at the shop too. Which I've been eye-balling for over a year. Well now on Flickr a Farmer's Wife Quilt -a - long has started and I think I want to join. Do I want to start another quilt that is going to take me 2 years to finish? I seem to always make quilts that you can't just whip out. This is just so tempting though.

If I start it up, I am thinking of making my blocks green / gray / cream/ and a bit of orange of course. :o) Do I do it?

PrOgress Monday

I made some prOgress on my 'flower quilt'. ( sorry about the bad photo) The whole thing is put together, but all the embroidery is not done yet.

Have I told you lately that I love this quilt?!

And I've made prOgress on my "Boy's Story" quilt. It's quilted!! I just need to put the binding on ..... after I buy the material for the binding. LOL

Cute needle book

I think it's pretty cute anyway. I had a wonderful needle book and I use it so much. It is with me all the time, so I wanted to make a new one that had some of my favorite things on it. And made with some of my favorite fabrics. You all know that one of my favorite things is our VW bus that we camp in. So I added the orange bus. Orange being one of my favorite colors.

I love everything about campfires. I hand embroidered this sweet campfire, pattern from Bareroots. One of my favorite smells is campfire. I love the heat from a campfire and to see the different colors of orange/yellow/red/ and blue they make. I also love the sound of a campfire popping.

And the daisy fabric is my all time favorite fabrics. I only have 2 fat quarters of it, so I've been hoarding those pieces wondering what I would do with them. Now I have some on my needle book that I see almost everyday. Did you guess that the white daisy is my favorite flower?

Here is the back of my needle book. I LOVE this yellow fabric. I have enough of it I may make myself a Spring skirt out of it too.

I've stitched up my name so I don't forget who I am. LOL I love outerspace, so I've stitched up some stars around my name.

And my two favorite animals...the frog and chihuahua. This is my little chihuahua ,Basil, barking at a frog.

The inside of my needle book has a bunch on my favorite fabrics in it. The one with the little orange/red tents came from Paris. My girl friend, Chesley, went to Paris last year and brought it back for me for Christmas. She knows I am a camp love girl.

So here it is my cute "favorite things" needle book. P.S. these are just a few of my favorite things. :o)

In other news.... I am still stitching on the "flower" quilt. And loving it.

more stitching

Here are some more tiny stitched up flowers from the 'flower quilt'. Pattern from Bareroots.

The start of something cute. I'll explain this later , but it is a few of my favorite things.

And I've only added 4 spider webs so far to my Halloween quilt, but I finally added a tiny spider.

progress

Making some progress on my 'flower quilt'.

This block is my favorite so far. I think it is because the flowers are orange. And I LOVE orange.

Happy stitching!

just working on the same projects.

Made 4 more spider web sections.
finished quilting my 'flower quilt'. I just need to put the binding on.
and I am almost finished with the quilting on my friends gift. :o)

UFO's

Sewing Log: January 18, 2009: So many unfinished projects going on . It is driving me a little crazy. There are so many things I want to make and I hate to start new projects if I don't have the ones I have already started finished.

Here is the 'Flower' Quilt top. WIP. I still have lots of stitching to do on it. This is what I will probably be working on at Sit and Stitch Tuesday evening.

This is another BOM, but I am not sure if I am doing the whole thing. I just really liked this stitchery so I decided to do this one and just see what the next few months looked like. This block in not yet done, can ya tell? Another WIP.
Another Swap in progress. This black/ white / and red triangles are for my siggy swap. But they are no where near done.
I've got lots of sewing to do.

PS. check you the cool new logo in my sidebar: "Blogging Amy's". It is a list of Amy s that blog. :o)

Dilbert

Today I did a little embroidery on my 'Flower' quilt. It's coming along slowly but I am enjoying it. Embroidery is relaxing to me.

And here is Dilbert. I finished him up today. The pattern for Dilbert is by Melly & Me.

Here is more of a side view of him. This Dilbert is a 'shop' sample, but now that my kids have seen him they both want me to make them one.
I think I may go take a nap now, for some reason I am awfully tired.

PS. ' The Shop', Quilting Adventures sells both of these patterns. :o)
