Gabriel's Alphabet Quilt

I made this alphabet quilt for my nephew Gabriel's 2nd Birthday. I think it will be fun for him to look at all the animals and help him learn the alphabet.

I remembered to take pictures before we shipped the quilt to him. The quilt is wrinkled because I washed it.

Here is close up of the quilting on my frame. I used a dragon tail panto that was fun to stitch.

Here are some of my survival flowers since it has been hot. Today is raining so we got some much needed rain!

As always, happy sewing!

Halloween Quilt- Done!

I just put the finishing touches on my Halloween Quilt! The quilt is small, I think 12'' by 12'' but it has a lot of details.

Here is a view of the backing. It has a lot of micro-stippling around the pumpkin and letters in the center.

Another view of the quilt.

It's very hot lately. What better to cool down then a homemade smoothie. It has a banana, ice cream and strawberries. I used strawberry the way my Dad always loved to eat strawberries. Cut and sprinkled with little sugar. The strawberries make a wonderful flavored surrop!

Here are some of the latest blooms in my garden!

Have a great rest of the weekend!

Secret Quilt .... Revealed

Finally I can show the secret project I was working on. Remember the previews I showed here.

I made this quilt as a Birthday gift for my friend Heather.

Here is the quilt on my in-laws porch. I showed her the quilt and she loved it! I just have to add the label and I will give it to her!

I saw these gorgeous hyacinths in their garden. They are one of my favorite flowers! I will plant more next fall.

The fabric line is called Feline Friendship from Henry Glass. It was a free project on their site. You have to go to the project library to find it. You can download the free pattern here. I changed it a bit and added few other fabrics.

Here are few more close ups of the quilting...

I love the backing fabric and how the quilt is wrinkled after washing it.

Those tulips are in my garden. I am behind on my garden work, I hope to catch up this weekend.

Have a great weekend!

Valentine's Early Surprise

I got a phone call this morning that the florist have a delivery for me. I called my husband and asked him if he knew about, and he said that he didn't. Well, of course I knew it was from him! I have the sweetest husband in the world! He sent me flowers and a card, just like when we were dating!

So romantic! I love him !
The heart shape flowers and the purple and pink tulips are one of my favorites!
Happy Valentine's Day!
