Cracker Jacks

I am pleased to present another long time coming finish!  These little miniature quilts are called "cracker jacks" and were designed by Kaye Evans of Utah.  They are just so cute!  The sunglasses and spoon were placed in the photo to give you some perspective on how small they are.  The largest one is 12 1/2".

Here is the back.

Brown Bag

The Brown Bag Flickr Group is here.  You can see all the other brown bag quilts -- fun fun fun!

I finished my brown bag quilt just in time for the deadline.  I may go back and fill in some quilting in the navy border at a later date, and then again I may not.

This has been a fun project and best of all, I finished a UFO while I was at it.

 Below is the back side. I used up the leftover blocks and some leftover green fabric from the top.

Jessi's bed quilt

It feels so good to have a finish!  Jessi put it on her bed immediately after the last stitch and some photos.  The colors are not as rich as the true colors, but here it is.

Here is one close up of the back.  The back is really very pretty.

Mom's Sewing Notions

I made this wallhanging for my mom for Christmas.  It is almost like Lorna's without the stars on the top row and a change of color (Mom doesn't like red.  She likes pastels).

It is wonderful to have this project done as I've had the blocks all made for over a year now.

The photo makes it look so crooked.  Let me asure you it is not.  I just didn't have anyone home to hold it up for me to photograph, so it's leaning in on an uneven surface.

P.S. I also finished a third one this month that will be given to someone special...Marie.

Lorna's Sewing Notions

I made this sewing quilt for my mother-in-law.

Halloween Round Robin

Many years ago I was involved with a friends and family round robin.  Each of us chose a theme or quilt pattern we wanted which were passed around each month for a person to make a block.  I chose a Halloween theme.  I never assembled them because I just didn't have enough blocks to do anything. 

A year ago I located a Halloween "Spooktacular" round robin online at Jane's fabrics.  I was too late to join, but some of the ladies agreed to swap a block with me on the side.  I guess you could say that this lovely quilt is a culmination of friends old and new.  THANK YOU ALL!

It sort of all began with a little mystery class at Utah's Annual Quilt Meeting in Provo.  Our good friend, Charlene Richens, prepared a mystery for us in our hotel room.  This darling witch was the result of that mystery.  I have fond memories of much laughter and fun.

Buggy Barn Hearts

I got the binding finished on this quilt last Saturday at state wrestling.  I LOVE it!

HERE IS A COPY OF THE POST I MADE SEPT 28TH REGARDING THIS TOP:
I don't have a photo of the quilt at this time, but here is the fabric I made it out of. This was a fast, easy, and fun little project. I bought it with my birthday money. I went shopping with brown and pink in mind and came home with brown, pink, yellow, and green. My girls even loved this one and wanted to make one identical to it.
