This little quilt was made for Faith, my co-workers daughter. I also machine quilted it, and used decorative stitching. My favorite part though is the felt flowers with pink button centers.
Don't You Think It Should Be MY Blog
BY the way...the blog photo's of the quilts don't look quite accurate, so let me know and I can send pictures that are a bit better....

3 New Quilts - Actually Completed before HP
This is "A is for Aubrey" I made this one for Laura's niece. Turned out very cute - and I used corresponding fabric. Oooooo. It is machine appliqued. Machine quilted, with decorative stitching.
This is Holly's Mariners Compass. These blocks are pieced, and then appliqued to the back ground fabric. I quilted this on my home machine. Between the stars it is free motion quilted, and the border and edges are stitched in a zig-zag fashion. I also put some strategically place prairie points in few places around the border. I re-learned those at the Olathe quilt guild meeting. But I remember doing them as a child, with my mom.
Harry Potter Rules
I finally finished my Harry Potter quilt. It is done rather in the style of a Weasley. My kids tell me that I am most like Mrs Weasley - so why not go all the way. I think it is rather fun to go through each appliques piece, and figure out its link to the movies. Keep in mind, many of these designs were done prior to the movies being released, so they done all match the movie. I love this quilt. It is very bright, interesting, and heavy. Almost all the fabrics are fancy fabric, either satins, brochades, or drapery samples - oh and velvet. This is a very tactile quilts. And crooked. I don't think the Weasley's would mind how crooked it is, so I am not fixing it. The fabrics are quite slick - thats my story and I am sticking to it...I think I like Hedwig best, or the snitch. And yes, the sword of Gryffindor looks more like a dagger - just adapt, that is my logic.

Well, I finally finished another quilt. It has been a long time since I have had anything new to post, but I like this one.

Baby John's quilts

OH! Baby Quilts
I seem to be in a little bit of a pattern here, I recently completed 3 baby quilts. Of course, I still have 3 hanging ready to finish, at present I have about 11 UFOs - the deal with my UFOs though is that they are all out, piled around my room, in stages of disarray. The is no rhyme or reason to which quilts I am working on at any given time, some days I just feel like piecing, some days ironing, some days hand stitching, and everyday - I design. With all these designs I just keep starting new quilts, and then there are new piles, and new UFOs!
I have worked out a deal with the shop teacher at South....he is going to have his students build me new cabinets/shelves for my sewing room. I drew them all up. I spent all Christmas Break figuring out the perfect design, and once I handed over the plans, and changed my mind again. I hope to add some counter space, and some space to put each project in its own basket, I hope to get organized. And all it is going to cost me is a cheesecake a month for the rest of my life. Relatively small price to pay for sanity wouldn't you say.
"Sammy" is for my BFF Laura - her little boys room is Safari - so I had to do this. The other animal quilt is just an extra, I'd sell it if you want to buy it. The little girl quilt is just an extra too - but I think I love it too much to part with - at least not for now.

Finally Finished my Ode to Asia
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9kRlyxuTfP9Ehz_eEERyhp3ZAqlMmm8-8JoqJFPM17hEQ79mZ_q4Dxi8HAQdWbF8vcuLwwC_2hk75p-i-uo-vWT5wbDA7lqHpzdyrHCOhe_ohSgat6_tszTzurUWkdoxplfZ7V7xe19U/s320/asia+front.jpg)
I started this quilt last year, and finally finished it yesterday. The design is roughly some pattern I once saw in a quilting magazine, but I have since
lost the magazine, and then I just made it all up. The back is almost as perfect as the front, actually, I do rather find it more interesting. The ladies at the quilt guild always show there quilts, then they turn them around and show the back, and say "oh I just threw the rest of the fabric together on the back..." Well laudeedau for them. Piecing that back easily took longer, and definitely more Math skills than the front ever did. I had the piece quilted by Kathy Gyles and I th
ink she did a great job. The larger squares have lotus blossoms - and the rest is bamboo.
