Happy Birthday to my Mom!

Happy Birthday Mom!
I know my mom loves lilac so I took these pictures of my lilac for her!
She lives in Bulgaria and I miss her a lot. I hope we will see each other soon.
I love that we have purple and white lilac! Can you smell it? :)

Happy Birthday Mom!

Secret Project - Baby Quilt

I can reveal one of the secret projects I have been working on. I made a baby quilt for my friend Amanda's baby.

It's gonna be a baby girl! She was surprised at the baby shower last Sunday!

This is Amanda and me posing with the baby quilt.

The quilt has all the letters from the alphabet and different animal for each letter.

I first did quilting in a ditch and then decided to do stippling in the border and in the sashing. I was gonna use the purple fabric for main background , but then I decided that I needed something more plain and run to my local quilt shop and picked up pink fusion fabric.

Here is a close up of the first block and my quilting.

Welcome to our Living Room

I wanted to share how my "Pineapple Welcome Quilt" looks on the wall in the living room!
I think this quilt belongs there! It does look so natural on the "Pumpkin Burst" color on the wall.

Thank you to my hubby for hang it! He likes it too! He is on a business trip to Chicago and I miss him!

I hope my guests will feel very Welcome with that quilt on the wall!

Quilt Festival

I have been busy sewing this week and I haven't post. I saw lots of my on line friends joined the Quilt festival. Amy from Park City Girl is hosting it.

I am showing my wedding quilt. I started this quilt before my wedding with my mother in-law and some of her friends and mom mom. The fabric was a gift from my mother-in-law and she helped me pick the fabric, but my color choices were based on my favorite color green and my husband's orange. I hope you like it :))

I am very proud of this quilt, because I quilted it on a domestic machine and the quilt is huge. I just did quilting in a ditch, but it was difficult, so I am very excited to try my quilting frame..... very soon!

It's fun visiting all the quilt blogs and looking at the quilts! Take time and visit Amy's blog and looked at more then 550 quilting blogs!

Happy Sewing!

Spring mood

It's cloudy and rainy outside. It's a good thing I took pictures of my garden yesterday. I love those purple tulips!

Hyacinths are one of my favorite flowers! I should plant some more next fall.

I am getting into a Spring mood, but it's still cold. Hopefully it will soon warm up and I can go garden. Right now I better get sewing. :) I finished piecing my Blue and Yellow quilt on Saturday! Yepee! I told my husband: "It's done!" But he smiled and said: "You mean it's pieced and needs quilting?!" Isn't he smart! :)

Happy Sewing!
