Fall is in the air....

Now that I'm back from my CA vacation, it feels like fall is creeping right up! We've had lots of summer birthday parties, kids in the pool, sleepovers, and two vacations so I think I'm ready for fall to start! I don't look forward to long nights of homework in the house but I am looking forward to cooler air and beautiful foliage...and of course that makes me want to quilt!

I will be publishing a new podcast soon. Stay tuned for that in the coming month.

I have a fall quilted purse listed on Etsy for sale. This the link to that item:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/53426465/fall-quilted-purse

I also have several fall and winter patterns out there too.

If you are following my blog or podcast, please leave a comment so I can get to know you and where you are from. You can comment here or over on the Big Tent if that is where you like to comment. I do have a subgroup under the Quiltcast Supergroup.

Warmly,
Sandi

A close up...







Photo Quilt



This quilt is of my daughter in the pumpkin patch in 2006. In my last podcast I mentioned the photo quilt book and supplies that were used in this quilt. I basically printed the photo poster size and seamed them together. Once that was done, I used thread to "color" the picture. I detailed every part of the photo including shirt, sneaker, hair, skin, pumpkins, etc. I finished this morning and hung it in the dining room!

From Trash To Treasure!


As I mentioned in my last podcast, I found an old weathered quilt rack at a yard sale last weekend for $2.00!!! My husband helped me take it apart and then I sanded it and painted it and now I have a beautiful quilt rack! Here is the photo...the little blue and pink quilt was the first one I ever made with my grandmother when I was around 8 years old. I do wish I had a before and after photo but truthfully, the before photo wouldn't have been very pretty to look at!

Sunny Tuesday & Good News

It's been a busy week here with 4 cases of strep throat in the family (my 3 daughters plus myself)! However, good news came in the middle of all of that...one of my wallhangings is going in McCall's Quick Quilts magazine in July 2011 (guess they really plan ahead over there)! I'm really excited to see the quilt in print as it's a tribute to my grandmother's garden.

This week I'm working on a Hawaiian pineapple pillow that is hand applique'...not something I love doing but I bought the kit in Hawaii and I really want to see it through. I'm also figuring out what my next project will be...either a lighthouse quilt or the Hawaii photo quilt that I bought supplies for at the Maui Quilt Shop!

Have a wonderful day and happy quilting!

Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! I'm sure you are all back to the daily grind just as I am. I am hoping to work in some quality quilting time in between the kid's activities and schedules though. Now is the perfect time to get busy with beautiful fabrics and trying new techniques.

Valentine's Day will be here before long and my Sweet Mail wall hanging is the perfect gift for your sweetheart. I am offering free shipping on this pattern on the Etsy store between now and February 14th!
