Block swaps...

I was included in a secret Facebook group for swapping blocks.  Here are what we've done so far.  These are the winder and fall block swaps.  I'm hoping for a red block swap next time :) .

Two more Applique Tops mostly complete!

So here are my latest quilts.  I've had to order more fabric for both of these for backing and I also needed more of the teal for the Spooly birds to border the quilt and make a backing.  I will have this fabric soon.  I think I will FMQ these myself....
Any suggestions on how to quilt these?  I'd love to hear what you think.

This one is called Spooly Birds and it can be found on Craftsy.


And my favorite!

My Table topper swap entry.

Here is my entry to the Mug Rugs and Pot Holders Oh My Facebook swap group.  We are doing a table topper swap event.  I enjoyed this so much I created a tutorial on how to add the edging.  You can get it HERE on Craftsy for free.
Here is the finish project.  The flowers are colored using crayola crayons....amazingly easy and so much fun!

My Applique Case

Here it is all finished and I've even completed the pattern for this beauty.  I just know other people are like me and would like a nice case to cart their applique projects in.
You can find the pattern on Craftsy.  The case is 22x16 when zipped up with it's double zipper and a whopping 46x22 when it's opened.


It has a thread pocket


A pocket for my light box and flannel sheet to hold my project nice and wrinkle free!


and the piece de resistance is the ironing pad.  


And here is a smaller one I made.

Yoko Saito Mystery Quilt

I'm still working on the 2012 Mystery Quilt that Yoko Saito created for QuiltMania magazine. You can still get the pattern at One World Fabrics  I know, I know I'm a couple years late but it's better late than never right!  So I have 3 blocks nearly complete, just have to do the backgrounds on those and I have one all ready to start (that is the hard part)
Here are my 4 so far.  Update, One World Fabrics no longer carry this pattern.  Handywomanshop.com has some copies for sale.






And of course I can't just work on one thing at a time!  I'm working on a In Stitches Quilt Pattern called Betsy's Closet too!  Here is my progress so far.



And then I have to complete this mug rug for a swap event.  Almost done!  




Hope you have enjoyed looking at my progress....what are you working on?
