May Table Runner

2012-06-10T18:59:00.001-05:00

What a GREAT weekend...

I completed the Table runner I started!

I love working with these patterns each month, Not only is the front beautiful...

The backs are designed as well...

It's always a real treat to work on both sides.

May table runner

2012-06-08T06:04:00.002-05:00

I have a beautiful table runner pattern that I finally started...

It's always fun when you have a pattern in one color wave and fabric in a totally different color wave. It means you have to think about what your reading.

I always take the pattern and write down the color changes.

Yellow and blue are always perfect together.

Over the weekend I hope to get most of the work completed.

I've put my stacks of fabric in place and will see how it goes!

A baby quilt with Aviary II Tumbler's

2012-03-31T11:07:00.000-05:00

I posted that this beautiful quilt was coming...I think it turned out perfectly. I wanted a very modern baby quilt for my shop on line so tell me what you think Pretty?

I spent a weekend cutting out Tumbler shapes...

then decided on the best way to piece this Beautiful Quilt

Yellow, Gray, and Black.

I thought about keeping this on at home for myself, but I am sure I will enjoy boxing it up to ship out as a wonderful Baby or Toddler Quilt for someone special.

This quilt measures 55 inches by 69 inches...

I like an over sized quilt for babies. I want it to take them from a small baby to an inquisitive toddler who likes to drag this favorite quilt along.

The tumbler shaped edge gives a little twist on the everyday straight line.

The flowers and birds are pretty...

The backing witch is not Joel Dewberry fabric matches perfectly.

The flower's and leaves are amazing...

The Tumbler shapes look good...

The colors contrast so well.

What do you think?

Could this pattern be one of your favorites?

Whoooo Goes There?

2012-03-26T05:54:00.000-05:00

Sometimes when you see the right fabrics, you see the pattern in your head...

then you have to find the patterns and blend them into the quilt.

I knew right away that I had to merge these two patterns.

There were really GREAT Owl fabrics...

Really pretty Jewel tone fabrics...

Something to give the quilt a little Jazz...

A lot more Applique than I realized...

to take this quilt to the next level...

The fabrics blended well, and turned out better than I thought.

The Owl blocks would have made really GREAT wall hangings...

I liked the yellow as a focus color.

And I always love to put thought to the back of the quilt so it is not just the old style muslin. I always want the back of my quilts to be pretty.

Again...you have to love the owls...

So what do you think...

Baby Love

2012-02-19T18:07:00.001-06:00

I am working on a beautiful baby quilt for a friend that is very classy. This quilt is so pretty. It will be a special gift for her sister. It is pieced as well as appliqued. So far I have added one large lamb on the bottom corner.

I think this will be beautiful. I plan to put lambs around the sides of this quilt as well as the baby's name.

What do you think?

I love baby quilts they are so sweet.

2012-01-15T07:32:00.000-06:00

What BEAUTIFUL fabrics that blend so well together....

My oldest son Will and his wife Amber are expecting their first baby (and my first grand baby). I wanted to put together a pretty quilt that could be both a baby quilt and take sweet little Jordan into her first years as a toddler. As you can guess our new baby is a girl! After much thought I decided on this pattern...

Since we know what our baby is going to be I could not resist putting her name on the quilt...

I made sure to send this quilt out to a fabulous long arm quilter who does beautiful work. Her Company is called The Finishing Touch.

I just love the designs in the quilting. Hearts...

As always I enjoy putting together beautiful fabric for a special quilt...

Now I'm off to make something new...

I'm thinking...

2012-01-01T14:29:00.000-06:00

Between Thanksgiving an Christmas things at my house got busy...I started a new job and I had to finish up Christmas gifts. I want to share one of the wonderful Christmas gifts I received from my family.

This is the Accuquilt Go...it is wonderful. You get these really GREAT dies that cuts your fabric to perfection. I have been cutting and playing for the last few days.

I am making a Tumbler quilt...

and I have made perfect Flying Geese with my cutter.

I see endless possibilities

I also spent the day yesterday making Wall Hangings for my office. In my new Job I am an Environmental Health and Safety Specialist. I wanted something that would blend my quilting and my job...

I hope to put these up in my office tomorrow, if I do I will post pictures showing how well they turned out.

I had someone deliver this quilt top one day in a bag were it had been put in hopes of one day becoming a quilt. So many times when families are going through a loved ones items after they pass away they find quilt tops that are incomplete. When I see one that needs to be finished I can't wait to see what can be done...This one took a little bit of creative thought.

I wonder if the quilt was never finished because it could not be squared up?

I studied this quilt 5 or 6 times before I decided the best fix for it was to applique the star on muslin whole cloth. It is not the normal way to finish a star like this, but This star was really calling to me...

Once I had it pinned to the fabric I had to fold and tuck some area of the quilt so it would lay correctly.

Once pinned and tucked and Appliqued, I had a longarm quilter do a beautiful pattern over the quilt.

I just love the way this quilt turned out.

Do you have a quilt that needs to be finished and the pattern has disappeared somewhere along the way. Don't give up on it, there is a way to put your quilt together. You would not want to lose a beautiful piece of your past without a fight.

Halloween Fun

2011-10-13T03:30:00.000-05:00

Wow time flies when your busy working on projects. Halloween themes and colors are my favorite so here is what I've been doing...

This was a kit that I received in my block of the month program. Pattern and fabric was included in this cute little kit.

This was my spin on the same pattern with fabrics from my stash.

I like to make seasonal quilts for my office at work. This was a kit for a wall hanging my Mom gave me. I whipped it up in an afternoon, and binded it the next evening while watching TV.

I worked on a Halloween bag

This is the inside...

And I made a Halloween Box, just for the fun of it...

In between these projects I worked on an antique star quilt that is being quilted so I can bind it in the next week or two. I also put together a baby quilt that is being quilted and will be binded as well. And I started putting together blocks for my version of "The Grich Quilt".

I had to make myself ship this...

2011-09-20T06:12:00.000-05:00

I participate in a few Swap-Bot fun exchanges each month. It is so much fun to send goodies and to get surprises. I mailed out this mini-quilt...a nine-patch last week. As I started finishing it up I tried to figure out how I could swap it with something else. The colors just worked so well.

I hope my partner enjoys the pretty blend. Take a look...tell me what you think.

Fall is in the Air!

2011-09-16T10:49:00.000-05:00

I know it's a little early , but If you live in the Deep South (Alabama), you know that temperatures stay in the 90's-100 through October and later. Yesterday we actually had a cool front move in, we got down to 70's and 80's. I could not resist finishing up a Halloween Mug Rug.

Bat's, Spider's, Dot's, spider web's and Candy Corn.

I just love Halloween Color's they are so pretty.

Halloween in such a fun Holiday...I work as a nurse at an elementary school and I am looking forward to dressing up for Halloween this year. Last year I dressed up as a firefighter and the kid's loved it.

This year I want to be a witch, I found this really great hat...

Now where can I find a really great dress and broom?

A Texas Longhorn Quilt

2011-09-06T21:27:00.000-05:00

I have put together this beautiful Texas Longhorn Quilt for a friend of my son. He and his brother grew up with my boy's. He contacted me and asked me to make a quilt for a special person in his life. She had made an Auburn University quilt for him and he decided that he wanted her to have a special quilt of her own.

I put together a scrappy quilt that uses a variety of Texas fabrics. I blended the fabrics with black fabrics and then bordered the quilt with cowboy boots. I hope it wasn't to corny that I included Cowboy boots. The fabric blended so well with the colors in the quilt.

It is probably difficult to tell but the quilting on the top is footballs and goal posts. For a football quilt I thought it was perfect.

The boot fabric was also used on the back of the quilt.

I put the quilt in the mail first thing this morning, I can't wait to see how well the quilt goes over. What would your favorite quilt be?

What is your football team... the next football quilt will be a Wisconsin Badger quilt. Blocks are completed and now they need to be assembled.

Are you ready for some Football and Tail gating?

2011-08-27T07:14:00.000-05:00

In the GREAT state of Alabama football is everything...you must pick your favorite team. There are several GREAT teams but when picking you have to pick between Auburn and Alabama. At my house it is Auburn all the way, at my brother's Alabama is the favorite. Starting next week every weekend will revolve around YOUR team. You don't plan weddings for these Saturday's if you expect to see a crowd...never make someone pick between a wedding and a football game. Season tickets are to expensive to ask people to pick. I made these cute Checker Board table topper's with tailgating in mind. Adults and kids are alike...a good game of checkers can help pass the time right up to game time!

I am selling these in my etsy shop http://QuiltDailey.Etsy.com

Pick your favorite team and enjoy the football!

Mini-Quilt from Fat Quarter's

2011-08-07T19:59:00.000-05:00

Here is the Mini-Quilt I made from the Fat Quarter Pack I purchased with the gift certificate I won.

I love the colors.

These are not the usual blends of colors I pick when I quilt. I do love the look of it though.

Do you have colors that you are drawn to?

Do you know what they are?

I know I lean to fall colors, Oranges, Browns, Rusts, Greens.

I always try to put together a pretty back as well...what do you think? do you go simple or do you want a pretty backing?

Winding Pathway's Quilt

2011-07-21T20:49:00.000-05:00

I have enjoyed working with a beautiful Joel Dewberry line called Aviary 2. It has all of my favorite colors. Orange, Brown's, Teal, and Creams. I am calling the pattern of my quilt Winding Pathway's.

I loved the design and the style co much that I made the following mug rug's

This one was entered in a Mug Rug challenge on Facebook at I don't have a problem, I have a well-rounded fabric stash! , her is the information if you would like to participate:

Because I was the first person to post an entry, I won a gift certificate at

Sew, Mama, Sew! (http://www.sewmamasew.com)

so of course I turned right around and ordered these fabrics:

Now what to make? what to make?

But I digress. Here are additional Mug Rugs I have listed at my Etsy Shop.

And while I was on a roll I could not help but make a Mini-Quilt or two....

After all of these items, I'm still not sure I am ready to give up working with these Joel Dewberry fabrics. They are just so beautiful.

Now I have a special order quilt that I must get back to...It's a University of Texas quilt that I am making as a gift for someone to give. I will show it off once I get a little farther along in the process.

A Wonky Cake of my Own

2011-07-03T09:45:00.000-05:00

We are getting ready for a Wedding at our house, my son is getting married. I have been wanting to make a cake block to celebrate the occasion. I couldn't find a pattern for my cake so I decided to make my own. The new bride to be has picked Fuchsia, Black and White. I wanted to include all of these colors and I wanted some Zing!

This could be used in so many ways...This could be hung on a wall, used to decorate a table, a signature quilt for a shower or for the wedding.

For this cute little applique piece I used ribbon on the second tier of the cake to really make it jump out at you. I also included some bling...and of coarse I embroidered The Bride and Grooms name and wedding date.

I'm not sure how we are going to use this piece. We will just have to see...

Can't you just vision this for other special occasions?

This can be made for Birthday's, Baby Baby Shower's, Wedding's, Wedding Shower's, Anniversary's or any other Special Occasion.

This Mini Applique block is 20 1/2 X 20 1/2.

But can be made in any size that you can imagine.
