Woodland Wonderland

I was very pleased to have this fun baby quilt

included in the most recent issue of McCall's Quilting magazine!

I used a wonderful Woodland print

and some fabric from my stash when designing this one.

Quilting was done simply with lines going diagonally both ways.

For me...it's the easiest AND

it looks GREAT!!

Win. Win.

There's a video here with ALL the quilts from this issue.

There are so many GREAT patterns!!

The magazine has already started shipping

and will be available on newsstands

and digitally on February 2, 2016.

Happy sewing Friends!

Thursday thoughts

It's time to decorate for Christmas.

Already!

Good thing I have a quilt to hang up...

Decorations are going to be minimal this year because my house looks like this...

(there's a kitchen remodel going on)

and I'm not up to pulling out more STUFF to add to the confusion!!

;)

This quilt came back from the publisher JUST in time to sling over a chair!

I was so happy to be included in the recent McCall's Quick Quilt

Dec/Jan  2016 edition.

  ;)

My knitting needles have been moving around with me.

Days have been busy!

The scrap quilter in me had to see if I could use a variety of yarns

to complete this little fall vest.

I'm happy I wondered!

Cabin in the Woods for McCall's Quick Quilts

I'm excited to share this quilt with you today.

It's included in the most recent McCall's Quick Quilts.

The December/January 2015 issue.

The Christmas trees are made of vintage triangles handed down to me.

You all KNOW I love vintage fabric, hand-me-downs...and QUILTS!

I quilted it with a nice swirly "SNOW" design.

Very simple...and very sweet.

How about that cabin??

I was reminded of reading the Little House on the Prairie books

when designing this one!!

I LOVED reading them as a child...and then again

aloud to my own children.

The first book in the series describes

the little house in the big woods and really put this image in my mind.

There's a fun facebook video that introduces ALL the quilts in this magazine
