Quilt- A -Rama Part 2

 Good morning!
Two days this week , there was a lot of quilting going on! We finished my twin size string quilt out of the farmers daughter jelly rolls..2 jelly rolls, one white jelly roll and some black gingham yardage .. I use the quilt as you go method where you sew the strips onto batting .. it was easy and fun ..when you attach the backing you just quilt the back with big squares ... Love this quilt!

 Chelsea and I also sewed up 3 baby quilts .. one rag quilt from Homespun .. 2 layers of homespun with a piece of batting inside each ..

another farmy baby quilt from this charm pack ..red gingham binding and backing ..

the rag quilt before cutting and washing..

 Here are the 3 baby quilts.. an awesome viewer of our You Tube channel  sent Chelsea some baby fabrics with bunny and sheep that we used on the 3rd quilt ..we added some black gingham and yellow gingham ..and it is just the sweetest! We did a scrappy binding on that one using all the fabrics..

 There is still a power struggle around here over who is top dog ..

You can see the quilts , and how they are displayed in my home tour video ..

  If you would  like to see what I am up to everyday join me on Instagram and my Facebook page ! I do post on both almost everyday ..Links to my Facebook page , Instagram and Pinterest are in the sidebar .. Hope to see you there ! :)

Woolemina..

 Good morning!
I finished stitching Woolemina from Plum Street Samplers last night . she was only a couple of days worth of stitching ..and she is adorable!

I used the called for colors on the flowers .. I changed the greenery and the sheep and also used Classic Colorworks queen bee for the tiny over one bee..and Classic Colorworks Old Money for the tiny over one heart .. 

 I used a small olive bucket that I found at Hobby Lobby .. I mounted the stitching on sticky board ..under the stitching is a layer of heavy batting and under that is some stuffing .. I sewed around the out side edge to cinch it and then ruffled some torn gingham .. my favorite color is gingham :)

I used 2 little magnets on the back of the piece to attach to the olive bucket and it is so cute ! I didn't feel it needed any embellishments but I could change my mind on that :)

I love it on this little bucket because you can either stand it up or turn it on its side ..

****Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****

For now she is in the hutch in the family room .. with a lot of other spring goodies! Thanks so much for stopping by!

It's Spring! Three Spring Finishes

 Good morning.. Happy Spring!
Here are three spring finishes ..stitched by my daughter Chelsea and finished by me .. First is Lizzie Kate 4 seasons spring .. finished onto a flea market tray .. I ruffled some torn  aqua gingham and stitched a little carrot from felt and added a little piece of Christmas greenery for the carrot top .. a couple sprigs of spring colored berries and a gingham bow with lace for the top .. it is stitched on 28 count tea/coffee dyed Monaco ..as are the other 2 designs shown here..

 also from Lizzie Kate April from the little monthly charts .. I mounted it onto sticky board ..then black gingham and used a magnet and a washer to attach it to this little chalkboard I found at Michael's..polka dot ribbon , burlap ribbon and a gingham covered button are the decorations on this piece..

 Last .. With Thy Needle and Thread April wordplay .. I used the same flea market tray we had painted with chalkboard paint and mounted the stitching on sticky board .. blue homespun check was used for the backing and then magnets to attach to the tray ..I also used a magnet on the bow so it can be changed out as well..

Bunny Love!

 Happy Wednesday!
I finished stitched With Thy Needle and Thread , Easter Parade today and got it all finished up and displayed!

 I found this frame at Walmart last Fall.. it is plastic and was gold.. I painted it with black chalkpaint and then white chalkpaint .. it is amazing! It looks vintage but it is definitely not!

 I stitched this adorable rabbit and chick on 28 count tea/ coffee dyed Monaco .. I changed a lot of colors and those are all shown above.. I used 3 layers of batting and just sewed it around the backing of the frame .. I added a tan gingham bow to the top with a couple peachy pink tulips draped down .. its adorable !
