Modern Traditon Bee Month 2

Okay- i'm just a turbo blogger- i can't keep up with it every day but now and then I can get lots of posts all at once. This is for Leanne of the modern Tradition Bee- she wanted the simple and ever popular log cabin with fun and funky fabrics- this quilt will be so awesome. I feel so accomplished hopefully I can keep up this pace for the rest of the year.

Fresh Comfort Bee Month1

So this is the second bee I have joined- it's called Fresh Comfort. We don't have a specific theme it's just whatever suits your fancy. Katie wanted trees and she sent us tons of great fabric and she let us have creative freedom. I love trees so I could have made lots of these blocks because it was so much fun to create and let the juices flow. Like my bitty bird.

Modern Traditon Bee Month 1

So this was the first virtual quilting bee I joined this year! So far it has been a lot of fun because I only have to make 1 to 2 blocks and someone else picked out the fabric and the block they want so no fuss. It will be a lot of fun to see how all the quilts turn out. I have been having such a fabulous time but I have no idea what i am going to send out when my month comes up. This block is for Melissa- for the modern Tradition bee- the idea is to take a traditional quilt block and use modern fabrics. I'm actually loving this idea and if you want a little inspiration go over to the blog modify tradition because they do a quilt -a- long and have tutorials for making traditonal blocks with modern fabric .

My sisters Quilt for Christmas

Just one more and I am done for the night- just trying to play catch up and I am still losing. This quilt I made for my sister for Christmas. I was inspired by a quilt on crazy mom quilts- i loved it and decided to make it for my sister with these fabulous fabrics- fun and floral and colorful- I actually finished it for christmas- what a miracle- it a season for miracles don't you know! I quilted with just straight organic lines. I am really liking that quilting method it is just so low stress and with five boys in this house I need low stress. I trudged out in the cold snowy day to take these pics before my sister went back to the sunshine state.

the space Quilt

Not the most attractive quilt I have ever made but it's finished. I made it for this boy that I have babysat for since he was 8 months old last Christmas (2008) and of course didn't get finished until this Christmas (2009)- I have a serious problem- this quilt is part of my joy to the new year challenge- I was so happy to hand it over to the little boy and he loves it and curls himself up in it- he loves space can you tell!

my new Tree Pillows

I Love my new pillows I saw them on the blog sewmamasew- the person who created them won the scrapbusters contest. They were so cute and so me- I had to make some- my kids of course like to throw them all around and more then likely they will end up with chocolate stains all over them but for now I'm just going to enjoy my creations. Of course I made them several months ago and I am just getting them up on the blog- i will always be behind!

my Quilt CLub Gift

THis is my finished quilt club gift exchange-we did it after christmas becasue some things happened and we couldn't meet before Christmas. Iam so happy with the way it turned out I need to make one for myself. I wished I lived in the little red house!

This was the start of it all- i was going off my own creativity so I tried a little of this and a little of that- then I put it away for a little while lost half the pieces to it and the top picture is the way it ended- but it came out so fabulous- sometimes mishaps and lost pieces work in your favor!
