WIP Wednesday!

Here we are again!! I feel like I haven't gotten much done. Probably because of the lying sick on the couch watching Disney Channel for two straight days. I've seen enough Good Luck, Charlie to last a loooooong while. :)

I am tickled pink to now have 99 followers!! Yea!! Maybe I'll hit the big 1-0-0 soon! :) **edit!!! Mitzi is now #100!!!! YEA!!!! I am so tickled! WooHoo!!

Anyway, here is what I managed to get done this week:

SBS Block #9 - Double Star

I really like this block! I like the 2nd layout too, but I didn't get to make another one. So cute! And notice the awesomeness with the outer directional fabric?!? All the same direction!!



That was pure luck. I didn't really even pay attention until I got to the outer corners. hahaha! Lucky me! =D

Halloween Quilt - all 9 blocks are done!


The applique was a bit of work, but they are so so so cute!!! I am so excited to sew the top together this week!!

Twin Frolic - squares are... basically... cut out!


I have drawn up the plan and it should come together quickly!!

Secret Project - I have a MAJOR good idea for this. But it would take months to accomplish, and I have... about a week. So I'll go with the simple, original plan. Irritates me though...

That's all. I really need to step it up this week! :) Be sure to check out all the awesome WIPs at Freshly Pieced! Happy sewing!

We have a winner!!!

So, I spent the weekend in a useless lump on the couch. I really hate being sick. :( At least I had my Bottled Rainbow quilt to snuggle under! :)

Anyway, I want to say THANK YOU to everyone that entered the giveaway! Your comments were so nice, and I am so so so excited to now have 99 followers!! That is just stupendous! I am sorry that I didn't get to respond to all of the comments, but - as I mentioned before - I was somewhat useless this weekend! lol!

I am happy to be the winner of some Katie Jump Rope scraps!!!


Kate made here Summer Series Quilt with these and I am so so so excited to make something with them!! Yea!!

WIP it up!!

So, I finally feel like I'm starting to get back into the swing of things! Yea! I have had a very productive week!

Finished - Queen Frolic! Hip Hip Hooray!!


Top Finished - Summer Series! Bigger Hip Hip Hooray! Thanks for all of the love on this one! I am tickled with it and cannot wait to figure out the quilting!!


Blocks finished - SBS Sampler: Virginia Star and Breaking out!



I just have to say, I LOVE this magic way of making Flying Geese. It has saved the geese for me! :)

Still in progress:

Halloween! I have everything cut out and sitting in cute little piles. Now that I have finished the Queen and the SS top, I think this one can become my focus!!

New Stuff:

Frolic 2: This is a twin size sister quilt to Queen Frolic. The lady that I made it for has a bunk bet set and wants a quilt that compliments the queen, so I will be diving right back into the leftovers to come up with something cute! Now that the queen is done, I am much more excited to start this one!

Super Secret: I have an idea for a secret project for a special someone. It will be a quick project, so more info to come soon!

Well, that's all! Happy WIP Wednesday! Be sure to check out all of the awesome WIPs over at Freshly Pieced!!

Summer Series Top!!!

Yipee-yi-yea!!! I finished the Summer Series top today!! I am SO excited with how it came out!! I made a few extra blocks (another Arkansas Traveler, another Greek Cross, and 2 Virginia stars) to make the quilt a little bigger. And I added sashing and a few borders to create a 66 x 66 inch beauty!!!!

Here she is: Named by the Princess, "Summer All The Time"


**Love** Probably my favorite ever.I used Kona Charcoal for the sashing. I really wanted the colors to just pop out. I think it worked perfectly!! I can't wait to quilt this baby!!

Queen Frolic Complete!!!

Yipee!!!! I finally finished the Queen Frolic Quilt!! I am so excited (and relived) to have this one finished!! Sorry for the less than awesome pictures, it was the best I could do today... ;)


I must be honest here... I love this quilt! The applique turned out better than I could have hoped! Love it!


Pink sheet on the back! It is so bright and happy!


The owl is my favorite!

So, this one is finally of the WIP list, and today I will start the twin size sister frolic quilt! It'll be cute! :)

Also, stay tuned! Later this week, I will be having an "Oh, I missed my blogiversary?!" Giveaway!! :)
