Le Petie - January

This month for Le Petie we made Miss Rosie's Quilt Co mon ami. I made mine out of Sugar Pop with a little bit of kona bone for the backing. I had a lot of fun making this one as always, but I don't think I will be working with any half squared triangles anytime soon...

Stash Report - week 1

I know this is a little late but better late than never...

Out:

3 1/4 yards for this baby quilt

One of the people that my mom works with is having a baby so this is what I came up with. This is the first quilt that I have been able to make completely from my stash! I was so proud of myself in being able to use my stash to make the quilt and so was my husband because he asked if that means that I have enough fabric now. We all know the answer to that :)

1/4 yards for layer cake quilt along

This is block 5 and even though I completed it on time I forgot to post in time. I have made a promise to myself that I have got to get better with posting and I am make slow but sure progress.

Postage Stamp Quilt Along

I have always wanted a postage stamp quilt, I used to always ask my Grandmother for one. Every time that I would ask her she would tell me I'm nuts and ask if I had seen how many pieces there are. So when I saw Rachel at PS I Quilt was doing a quilt along, I knew I would have to join! Even though there are a lot of pieces it should be made much easier strip piecing it. I am using a Verna jelly roll with some Kona white. I hope to have my 5 strips sets together tomorrow.

Layer Cake Quilt Along

Ok, so I got a little behind with blocks 3 & 4 on the layer cake quilt along. Between the holidays and my machine breaking I completely forgot about it during December. Once the new year started I said told myself that I was going to do a better job of keeping up with it. So I did block 5 right after the instructions were posted, but I didn't take the time to post my picture and missed the deadline again. Well today I made sure that I have posted all 6 blocks to flickr and thought that I would post a picture of all the blocks that I have completed so far. I used a Bliss by moda and the more that I play with the fabric the more I love it. I think that I might have to stock up on this soon, it is just so pretty :)

Le Petie - December

Ok let me be honest, I was not looking forward to making this months project. I thought about not doing this one at all but when I started this I wanted to complete all the projects so I decided to going through with this one. The project did not get off to a great start, once I finally got the fabric in my sewing machine broke. I had to wait for my new machine to come in and I really didn't know if I was going to be able to get this project done. Once I got started on this project I fell in love with it and it came together so quickly! I think that the fabrics help a lot because I love the retro Christmas look, but overall this was a lot of fun to make and I think that my MIL is going to want one of these next year. Here is my prairie point Christmas, this was made with a mix of sparkle all the way and groove by Robert Kaufman.

Le Petite November

For November's Le Petite project was butter churn a pattern by Sherri Falls of This & That. I made mine using a Happy charm pack and some Kona white. I ordered some additional fabric from this line to make this quilt a little bigger (this is way to small for my taste). I have order pink polka-dots and one of the purple prints from this line to hopefully make it big enough to be a baby quilt. Of course I waited and waited to order it and by the time that I did order the fabric it was to late (the fabric is going to be delivered tomorrow...). Again I had a lot of fun making this small project, they are very satisfying since they can be finished in an afternoon. I can't wait to see everyone else has made and see what is up for December.
