Mermaid Quilt- my challenge quilt

I participated in a challenge my mother-in-law had for fun. Many of you know she owns a Happy Sewing Room - a quilt shop and she had a booth at Hershey quilt show. She though it will be fun to have a challenge between the people that help her at the booth. The prize is that the winner get to pick next years fabric. 

 <--- This is the challenge fabric(the green bubbles). As soon as I saw it I thought of making ocean sean with fishes and  bubbles from the challenge fabric. When I started working on the quilt I came up with the mermaid.

I love all the embellishments I did. Like the green neckless and the little belt. There are some blue stones on the rocks in the sand as well.

Here are the other quilts: 

My Mother-in-law made this cute Owl quilt!

My father-in-law made coasters. He wasn't very inspired by the fabric. 

Here is the winner this year. Trish made this stars quilt and the black really made them pop. 

Everybody did a great job! I had a lot of fun creating my quilt and everybody was close, but Trish won.  Congratulations Trish! 

Hershey Odyssey 2012

I finally got around to posting on my blog. I am still very pregnant and waiting for the arrival of the little bundle of joy. I want to share some of my favorite quilts from Hershey quilt show:

I hope you enjoyed it! 

Strawberry Shortcake Quilt

Just a quick post to let you, my readers, that I am still here. Let me tell you, I am just HOT, from being 8 month pregnant and running after 17 month old busy little girl! :) 

I wanted to share this cute little quilt I made for her. I will post some picture of the quilted quilt later. I quilted for first time  with bubble fleece. It went pretty smooth. 

Until next time,

Happy sewing everyone and stay cool! :) 

Happy Mother's Day!

I wish every Mom a very Happy Mother's day! 

Basket of Flowers is My Challenge Quilt

I am a big fan of Edyta Sitar from "Laundry basket quilts" ever since I saw her first book at a quilt shop in Indiana. I don't buy books very easily, but I had to have "Hop to it" that had a bunny aplique in it. 

I saw she had a challenge on her blog using her new designs fabric silhouettes. They are laser cut ready to use fusible aplique shapes. I sign up for the challenge and the due date was today. As usual life happens and I had so many ideas how to use them. I took a class in Hershey and had the basket and the pink 3d flower started, so I added the flowers. I am happy how it turn out! I can finish the quilt a lot faster now! :)

Happy sewing!

P.S. Thank you everybody for the wishes for the new baby! We are very excited for our new addition!
