Figgy Pudding Charm Quilt

I've finally taken some pictures of my Figgy Pudding Christmas Quilt.
I just love this line for Moda--Figgy Pudding fabrics by Basic Grey; Gorgeous Modern Holiday Prints in Rich Red, Chocolate Brown, Juniper Green, Spa Blue and Crystal White.
I used the full line with a couple of other prints thrown in for interest. I love what a fun feel this quilt has, and I'm loving the aqua and red together for Christmas.
I quilted it in an all over Loops and Holly design with green thread.
It is newly listed in my Shop.

Awareness

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.
I found this on Mormon Modern's blog.
Check out this link to see more of her work. Also check out the Worldwide Breast Cancer website.

Valerie do not look!

I'm sure that Valerie does not check my blog, but if I'm wrong, get out of here Valerie!

Remember this quilt? I told you the strips were the left-overs of another project--this would be that project.


This is a commissioned quilt that will be for my niece Valerie's birthday.
I love it! I really wish my pictures could do it justice.
It's an over sized twin that will fit her bed nicely. It has a pieced strip going across the back that I just love. I tested it out on Gracie's bed, and both sides look great. I love a quilt that is reversible.
It looks so fresh and fun. I love the colors and the combination of fabrics.
My favorite part of the quilting process, is picking what fabrics to put together.

In case you are wondering--it is really a mix of fabrics, but some of them are:
"Fresh-aire" by StudioE, "Nature-ology" by StudioE, "Twiggy" by Sanae for Moda, "Al Fresco" for Marcus Fabrics, "City Girl" for Benartex and who know what else!

I quilted it with white thread in an all-over loops pattern.


I hope Valerie loves it!

Today Tony and I have been married for 14 years! Look what just showed up at my door.Ahhh...I really like that guy.

Okay Tracy, here is the other picture you wanted added--

I hate spiders.

I mean I really hate spiders. I despise them. I'm terrified of them. These are the things nightmares are made of. Can you imagine how happy I was so see this next to the gate I was about to go out?

I hate spiders.

Along with the regular day to day stuff this past week, I was fighting a pretty bad head cold, but my Mom and I did manage to get all of our pears bottled.
I did get my order of the Figgy Pudding fabric in the mail, so I'll be able to work on this fella soon.

Today I'm finally sewing. I'm working on quilt binding. I'll have more to show you soon!
