My first finish of 2010!!!

I hope everyone had a great New Years day.

 I spent my day relaxing.

But this evening decided to finish quilting and

binding my Cindy Lou Who quilt.

I had quilted part of it the other day.

But only got the chance to finish it tonight.

The outer border is a bit wavy.

Ah well!!! It`s still cute. I`m glad it`s done.

 I did not get to use it this Christmas.

But I will have it for next year.

Now I can check that one off my UFO list.

I hope you are all well.

I'm finished my Cindy Lou Who Schnibbles quilt top!!! And got great mail!!!!

Hi everyone, I finished my Cindy Lou Who Quilt top.

This was the October challenge for The Year of Schnibbles. I'm so happy I got it done because I didn't make the date last month. I used Christmas fabrics that I already had to make this top.

 I was unsure of this pattern at first, but I love it with the colors I chose.

 I was going to give it as a gift, but decided to keep this one. I really like it.

 Now, I have to make something else for that person.

I also got great mail today. I had won a giveaway on Di's blog "Quilting is Blissful".

This is one of my favorite blogs and I check it everyday.

 Thank you sooooo much Diane!!!!

I just love these. I love the little panels and the border print.

They have such cute little puppies on them. I love dogs. I have two bigs dogs at home.

These are going to make a great quilt. I can't wait to use them.

She included some lovely fall stickers too. I'm so lucky.

Sorry for not blogging as much this month. I've been so busy. I'll try to do better.

Happy Stitching!!!

A little bit of this....and that

Hi everyone, Sorry for not posting more. I've been having computer troubles. I'm still trying to figure some of the things out. Well, last week I got the first issue of the Quilter's Connection Magasine. This is a new Canadian quilting magazine. I subscribed to it a bit late to get the first issue. So, I bought the first issue from Laurraine at Patchwork Pottery's etsy shop. She is the designer of the pattern on the front cover. She even signed her pattern for me. She is so sweat. I love her pattern.

I also got my Cindy Lou Who Schnibbles pattern. I bought it from a shop that was a bit closer to where I live so that the post wouldn't take so long. It helped!!! I started cutting the pieces last night. I'm not using a charm pack for this. I'm just using material I have in my stash. It's going to be a Christmas table topper and I hope to use it as a gift.

My daughter's also been doing a little bit of hand stitching. She wanted me to put her work on my blog too. She embroidered  a cute little bird. So cute!!!

Well, I hope you all have a great day. I have to work this evening. I couldn't sleep last night so I'm really tired this morning. I may have to go lay down a bit before work. Otherwise it will be a long night.

Hugs Ariane
