Mini QT Swap 3D

I was in the Mini QT Swap again and this time the theme was "3D". The last Mini QT Swap I was in the theme was "Take Flight". Look at my sweet VW Bus mini I received from my partner Bahamadawn. She pegged me pretty good. LOL She also has a love for VW buses so she had a lot of fun making my mini and a hard time giving it up. I will treasure it and it will hang on my kitchen wall with my other camping and VW quilts.

Here in the 3D mini quilt I sent to bahamadawn. It is a mermaid sleeping and dreaming of all her favorite things. This are really bahamadawn's favorite things. :o)

Some on the 3D things I added to the quilt are the button crab and the sequins on the mermaid's tail. Here is another good full picture of it in my flickr group.

I love these mini QT swaps. The quilts are so easy and quick to make. But I didn't sign up for the next one. :o( I am just too busy this next month so I had to skip it. The theme is circles this time, head over to flickr and check it out. I am hoping to sign up for the next round though, theme not know yet.

quilting in progress

I started quilting my "A Boy's Story" quilt. This one. I have a feeling it is going to take awhile, but I think it will be so cute when I am done. Hopefully I can get it done in time to take it camping with us this year. The kids and I can wrap up in it by the campfire at night.

Ready for the Competitions

I've been sewing up some things to carry to the robotics competition this year. My daughter is on the FIRST robotics team for her school. They are team 1086 ~ Blue Cheese. I made her this very cute string backpack for carry around the competition. The pattern came from Noodlehead. I liked that it had a pocket for her phone.
A big thank you to Monica for helping me out. I had some trouble figuring this pattern out and Monica is wonderful. The picture below is my daughter with her new string backpack getting ready to head to their first competition of this season.

I also had to make myself a Blue Cheese bag for the competitions. I used some robot fabric to trim the inside.

Here is one side~~

And here is the other side~~I have since added a yellow button for the closure.

Let the games begin!

Sew on

Progress on the 'Flower quilt'. Most of the outer white boarders are not embroider yet. So I still have a lot of stitching to do.

Some 'ice' wonky stars. :o)

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.

Favorite things

This weekend I got to do two of my favorite things. Camp and stitch. We went to T.R.O.M. this weekend. ( The Rides Of March) You can read about it here on my camping blog.

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!
