Shabby Roses Quilt is done!!!

Well, this quilt has been in the making for a while.

I started making the blocks in August 2009,

and finally finished it yesterday April 4th, 2012.

The blocks were designed by Jenny of Elephantz.

It was originally a free BOM.

It's no longer available for free, but you can purchase it on her website.

I changed the setting of the blocks.

I wanted a different look then the one Jenny had designed.

My quilt is 43 inches wide by 40 inches long.

All the blocks are hand embroidered and hand appliqued.

I used fusible web to applique my shapes.

The quilt was machine quilted by me.

I used my old Kenmore sewing machine to quilt it. 

The binding is all done by machine.

I washed it yesterday and now it is so soft and crinkly.

Just the way I love it.

I put a sleeve on the back, so now it is ready to hang.

I'm keeping this one.

I've had a few requested or hints from a few people who wanted it.

But, this one is all mine.

I just love it!!!

I hope you like it too.

Since I have to work all weekend,

I will wish you all a very Happy Easter!!!

Hugs

Shabby Roses quilt almost done!!!!

Hi everyone,

I know it's been a while since I blogged.

March was a rough month for me.

I was extremely busy.

Then, I started getting so tired, then just plain worn out!!

I didn't do a lot of sewing.

I was having a hard time sleeping and just didn't feel well at all.

But, it's a new month.

Yeah!!!

It should be better, since I have a week off coming after Easter.

I do work all of Easter weekend. :(

Today, I got some energy and finished quilting my Shabby Roses Quilt.

I've had this top done since July 2010.

It's about time I get this finished.

I just need to put the binding on and I'm done.

Here it is.

And a close up of the quilting.....

This pattern was a free block of the month provided by Jenny of Elephantz.

I just love it!!

I hope you like it too.

Another Bapron...

Hi everyone,

I made another Bapron tonight 

with some leftover fabric from the Zigzag baby quilt.

I love this pattern.

I'm going to add it to the gifts I'm giving my Sister-in-law.

I hope you like it. 

A journal cover

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well.

I'm still not 100% recovered from the flu bug I had.

It was a nasty bug.

I got a really bad sinus infection with it.

I'm still trying to get over that part of it.

At least my cough is not as bad now.

I was supposed to get company this weekend,

then go to a baby shower.

But all that didn't happen.

I just wasn't feeling well enough.

And didn't want to spread an germs to a mama to be.

I did manage a little sewing.

I made a little journal cover.

I think it's cute.

I made the hexagon flowers using the english paper piecing method.

Then appliqued them by hand to the background.

Added some hand embroidery.

Just a little project.

Hope you all had a great weekend.

Hugs
