Here are some pictures of a custom rag quilt for a customer from Canada. I had fun making this quilt. I used some of my all time favorite fabrics. Great spotted owl, majestic oak, full moon dot and a new favorite all the way from Taiwan with the cutest little deers!
Also made my sister who is going to have a baby boy in Jan. a quilt for her baby shower last Sunday. Worked out perfect, she wanted a forest and forest animal theme also!

Have a nice Thanksgiving everyone!!! Past Traditions

Heather Ross Studio Sale Arrival 2010!

I got my Heather Ross studio sale package the other day. Thought I would share some pictures of my cool stuff. I got the $100.00 package. I got a signed art print, some smaller prints, some nice sized cuts of fabric (not quite fat quarters)of Mendocino, Rabbits and Racecars, Flea Market Fancy and more, plus some scrap peices, some stationary and a bag. Very Cool!!!

Summer

My sister just gave me a picture of my little niece Summer with her rag quilt I made her. Isn't she adorable just peeking over the covers! I love this picture!!!

Castle peeps arrangement.

Trying to finish up my work on the new castle peeps rag quilt and working out a fabric arrangement.... Its been so nice out it is hard to stay indoors and work on quilts. I think I will just set a time frame to work on the quilt and then the rest of the day I will be OUTSIDE!!! See you next week!(Hopefully with more progress) pasttraditions

Castle Peeps!

Well I am currently working on several quilts at once. Right now I am working on an adult size quilt using the Castle Peeps line. Its sooo cute! It would make an adorable quilt for so many different age groups! It has really cooled off in TN! Its getting back in the mood to quilt!!! See you next week! Past Traditions

Log Cabin Quilt a long!

I wanted to try a quilt a long for a while now. So when I saw one for a log cabin quilt I jumped at the chance. It has been really fun. I think I am going to make one for myself and possibly one for my etsy shop. I am using my special stash of out of print Heather Ross fabrics for the centers of each block, this will help me finish the project and do an extra good job! I don't want to waste 1" of these great fabrics!!! But I have really enjoyed making these so it has been fun and easy to keep on making some more blocks! Although it has been great for using up scraps I have realized I don't have as many scraps as I thought!!!

I will be busy this week... I made up a list of quilts I want to get completed and some of the fabric lines are...
Far far away 2, Heather Ross aqua/chocolate mendocino, castle peeps, 2 log cabin quilts, deer valley, neptune, meadowsweet and meadowsweet 2! Plus 3 other quilts already a work in progress. We will see how far I get. Check my shop often, I will be adding these as I get them made. Well off to go sew. See you next week! Past Traditions

New - Weekly posts!

O.K. I am terrible at finding time to keep up with this blog. So... starting today I will blog once a week on Mon. - Wed. I want to mainly show new fabric, what I am working on for the shop, and sneak peaks for custom orders.
So.. now that I got that over with! :) I am working on an adult size rag quilt made with some out of print Heather Ross fabrics. I love a brown and blue/aqua combination. It will be backed with white minky dot (just in time for cooler weather). I am also working on a smaller baby quilt made with the Far Far Away 2 line from Heather Ross also. The picture is of the adult rag quilt using brown and aqua/blue fabric. Until next Mon. - Wed.!!! Past Traditions

Etsy Treasury

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!! I have been so busy.. with the holidays. Plus I have not been to motivated it has been so cold outside. It even snowed today which is kind of unusual for TN.
