Little Quilts and Big Kitties

Well, I am a little slow in posting but better late than never. I made my mom another table topper for Christmas. She needed something for Fall. She just loves panda's so I found this cute fabric. She ended up putting it on my Grandma's cedar chest with her Panda collection. So now I need to make her another fall table topper. I wonder if I will get it done by fall 2010...maybe 2011.



I made the below tote bag for my parents to take with them on vacation this year to Aruba. Hard to see in the picture but there are little iguana's on it, so cute.




My friend has a daughter in the Girl Scouts so I made the big one for her then made a mini version for her little sister. I think they came out really well.

So this was supposed to be an easy project. But since I have never done anything like this before and the directions were crap it took me 1 1/2 days straight at a quilting retreat to get it...there was alot of sewing and unsewing till it came out right. The kicker is I could do one now in about 2 hours...
And after all that work, the darn little naughty kitty made it his home....

I made some mini quilts since I want to practice my top stiching, which is the sewing of the layers together. I am trying to get better at that part. Plus these are super easy and quick.

Coffee Table topper...looks alot cutier in person.

Mr Dexter after a long day of running around like a loon.

This is super small, they call it a candle mat.

Two more mini quilts.

My Kitties are pretending to get along....

Dexter shoved his fluffy butt into my step stool...

So Dexter likes to chase this toy in a circle over and over and then he gets so dizzy he falls over...and it is so funny....

Merry Christmas 2009

So Merry Christmas to all and a very Happy 2010. I have not posted in a while. Mostly because I have been hard at work on the quilts you will see below. They have all been given to my friends and family and hopefully will be enjoyed for years to come. Hope you enjoy seeing some pics of them. This first one is for my friend Emmy, who lives down in St Louis.

Quick quilt break to see a pic of my parents and grandma at Christmas.

My parents Christmas Tree with all the gifts we were not supposed to buy.

Here is the 3rd quilt my sister has made. She keeps telling me she is going to quit and so far it is not happening.

Ok, well this one is sideways so turn you head to the left and see it right. This one I made for my Aunt Tina.

This one is also on it's side and for my Uncle Tom. I made it extra long since Tom is so tall.
Hope it keeps him warm.

So there is a running joke between my mom and her friend David that he is a pig.....so I made him this pillow which was a big hit and everyone loved it.

Here is my little Dexter.....being naughty....which is pretty much all he ever does!!!!!

Here is the 2nd quilt Jody made...it is Halloween on one side and Christmas on the other. Turned out really sharp...you also need to turn your head for this one...I really should have fixed that before I posted these...oh well. No one is perfect, least of all me.

Jody's 2nd quilt the Christmas side.

Made this quilt for David.

Made this quilt for Cathy.

Hope that you all had a wonderful holiday season and that you have a safe new year. Looks like we are going to get some snow so I think I will be staying home. Drunks and Snow so not mix.
