Birthdays

I created this card for my wonderful sister in law for her birthday. I used the color coach to help me pick the colors. It was a big hit.

I love using paper to create fun flowers. I made this card for my mom for her birthday. She really liked it. Again, I used the color coach to help me pick colors. I don't know that I would have put these together without it's help.

For my birthday, I got spoiled! My wonderful mother in law gave me money to get exactly what I wanted. I took advantage of free shipping, hosting a party, and my discount to maximize the amount of product I was able to get. I think I did pretty well. Now I can't wait to get playing!

Table Runner

I got this brillant idea to make a table runner that serves two purposes...to decorate for Thanksgiving and for Christmas. I found the wonderful fall fabric at Pine Needles in West Jordan. I knew I had to get it. So I came home and cut it up. I was able to make 3 runners with it. For the Christmas side, I got fabric from my stash (for my personal runner, not pictured), and picked up more fabric from Wal-mart. I made the runner pictured for my mother for her birthday. She loved it! I love the idea of having a table runner that lasts for 2 months instead of just one. I'm thinking of making 5 more so that I have all the months covered!

October Club Projects

For these projects I used "Delightful Decorations" , "Tags 'til Chirstmas", and "Four the Holidays" stamp sets. Paper used is old olive, chocolate chip, cherry cobbler, and crumb cake. Ink used is old olive and cherry cobbler. I also used early espresso and old olive 1/8 taffeta ribbon and the half pearls. The Designer Series Paper is Jolly Holiday.

Fall Wreath

This is the new wreath that I have hanging on my door. I love it. It was so easy. I got packs of fall leaves at Wal-mart last year. I picked up some foam core at the dollar store. I cut it into a square. Then I pulled out the glue gun and went to work. It is super easy and it is super light...it is held on my door by a magnet.

Train patch quilt

I purchased the train fabric 3 years ago (I think) at Hobby Lobby so I could make a lap quilt for my husband. Needless to say, I didn't make it three years ago. We decided to do a train theme in my son's "big boy" room, so I spent a few hours piecing the number above. I wanted to break up the train fabric with some conductor hat fabric, but thought it would be overpowering, so I made the 4 patch blocks instead. I LOVE how the top turned out. We will be tying the quilt at his birthday party on the 19th.

Here is a better look at the patches themselves. Isn't the train fabric fabulous?

Airplane Disappearing Nine-Patch

The matching pillow for the quilt below.

I finally finished the quilt top for my son. I bought the fabric over a year ago. I cut the squares for the center out FOREVER ago. I spent the last three nights working on it. Totaling about 7 hours. I had some trouble with the borders and not having enough fabric. I ended up having to cut the middle border down. Originally it was 1.5 inches wider. I LOVE IT.

Now, I want to get it professionally quilted. Anyone know where I can get it done? Finished size is 54 x 62 inches. How much will it cost? I will need it by mid August.

Enjoying my summer!
