A contest!

Okay... I went ahead and entered a contest over at Riley Blake Designs! It's fun!


I entered my Mod Times #1 in All Stars 2!


Wish me luck!

Mod Times #2 Complete!

Here she is! I am so SO pleased with how this darling quilt came out! I love the fabric, the pattern, the back! I am so excited to get this up on my wall! :) Thanks again to Twinfibers for hosting this VERY fun quilt a long! This is an amazing pattern that is way fun to sew! Thanks!!!

WIP Wednesday!

Another week - gone! I feel like this week has been a whirlwind - with a try at a tri (lol!), dance recitals, preschool graduation, last day of school, and on and on... Whew! But, I was able to get a little sewing done too!

Mod Times #2 is still waiting to be sandwiched. I am so excited to quilt it, but I need to mop the floor before I can baste. (sigh...)


I made a new dance bag for my little dancing queen.


I used the "leftovers" from Mod Times #2 (ahem - because I bought the end of the bolt. Don't judge. It was 50% off...) It turned out way cute, and now she can actually fit her three different pairs of dance shoes - tap, ballet, and jazz - into her dance bag! Sheesh.



Cute, right?!

Bottled Rainbows - Moss block

This is block #12!!! 4 more to go, and I saved my favorite colors for last! Yea!! :) I kept this one simple, and I really do like how it came out. I also like that it is mostly Fandango scraps. I love LOVE that line! :)



I really love this project! I am so excited to snuggle under this one! I'm totally going to hog it all to myself!

Also on the drawing board - a simple skirt tutorial and pants to skirt (My hack method) tutorial! Stay tuned for those!

And - I am really excited to join in this skill builders quilt a long!!! It is going to be awesome!!

Well, that's it for this week! Be sure to check out all the WIPs at Freshly Pieced!

Mod Times #2 Top and Back

I was able to get the top of my second Mod Times quilt all put together last night, and then I pieced the back today! I love 'em!!


I went with white background because when I looked around at greens, they just didn't "feel" right. So, white it was! And I like it very much! But I think the back is a big win! I just love it! :)

Tomorrow I am participating in my first open water Olympic distance triathlon! I am excited and a little nervous! It's a 1500 meter swim, 20.5 mile bike and 6.2 mile run. I know I can finish, but wish me luck to not finish last! lol! :) Have a great weekend!!

Mod Times #1 Complete!!

Okay - here it is!! Mod Times #1 all finished! Made with All Stars 2 in flannel!

At the last minute, I decided it need a little bit of blue! So, I got a little of the corresponding blue dot print and I am THRILLED with that little touch on the binding! Yea!!


The back! It needed blue too! :) I love how it came out!!

A big THANK YOU to Twinfibers for hosting this quilt a long! It is a fabulous pattern! I have #2 going strong, and I'll post pictures of that in the next few days!! :)

WIP Wednesday!

Ahhhh - I just love Wednesday rolling around! It's fun to keep stock of what's on the sewing table!

This week has been a little quieter for me. My hubby whisked me away for an anniversary trip to Vegas to stay in the Venetian. It was amazing and fun!! I did get a wicked sunburn during a bike ride - but other than that, it was perfect!! I got a new pair of heels.

Sometime I may have to tell the story behind my now infamous blog header. It's a pretty funny story...

Anyway, here are my WiPs this week:

Finished!!

Mod Times #1!!! I finished the ADORABLE quilt yesterday! I will post a teaser now, but I still have to give this quilt a photo shoot, so I'll post pictures tomorrow or Friday.


I just LOVE how it came out! I can't wait to give it to my sister-in-law for her new baby boy!!! :)

In progress (still) -

Bottled Rainbow!

I finished the Teal block (Looooove it!) so now I have these 11 (!) blocks done. I am seriously fighting off the urge to do all the rest in one day. I want to. But I really am trying to keep the pace steady. Sigh. One per week. One per week...


Love this quilt!!!

Mod Times #2!


I told you I had to do one for my wall! lol! So I have the fabric cut and ready to go!! I think I will really like this one! Although - I had the sudden thought to make the background fabric green instead of white. Thoughts?

Finally - kids.

This little monkey turned 4 this week.


I am so glad he's part of my life. He's just a delight!!!!

This one is about to finish 1st grade.


Why does every year feel faster?!? I'm not ready for a 2nd grader!!!! :O

Anyway, that's the current project this week! Be sure to check out all of the awesome WiPs at Freshly Pieced!!

WIP Wednesday!

Guess what?!? This is my 100th post! Awesome!

Anyway, it's been a great week here in my little world!! First - and most important, I finished - FINISHED - super secret project! YEEHAW!!! The big day (my 10th wedding anniversary!!!) is Thursday, which is when I will give it to hubby, then I'll post pictures. Lots of pictures! And the story! So stop by Friday morning for sure!!! :)

I also made this little mug rug for my sister's blog contest. It's a mininova. It's great color wise, but I struggled with lining up those little tiny seams... oh, well! It's cute!


I started the Mod Times Quilt A Long using some cute flannel...


And got some other fabric for a second one - undoubtedly heading for a wall in my sewing room! :)

Cute, right?!

Okay - Indigo Bottled Rainbow block! I struggled with scraps for this one, but I actually like how it came out!


I now have 10 blocks done and I LOVE them together! I can't wait to see this one all done!


Last - I got confirmation for a MAJOR WIP that I'll be working on over the next 5 months...


Marathon #3 - here we go!! :)
