Yummy NEW UFO's

So are you asking yourself what a UFO is? Well it is an unfinished object. I don't know how many of you feel like this but I just love to put the fabric together for new projects. My start of this blog was to give me even more motivation to continuously work on and complete my UFO's. Well, I started two new ones this week. The first was because I had purchased this yummy brown fabric

by Michael Miller at my local quilt store Quilter's Corner. The fabric has been sitting out and talking to me for two weeks now....I happened to flip through my quilt pattern binder, and found a great pattern called French Garden by Swirly Girls Designs. Perfect! I started it this week. I can't wait to show you my progress.

I also this week decided to join my first blog quilt along with Crazy Mom Quilts. I cheated alittle and bought already cut 2 1/2" strips. Here is my color palate for Amanda's quilt. I cannot wait to get sewing on this one. This is my first time using hand dyed fabrics.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and some great time sewing this week.

Love,
Angie

Topsy Turvey Me

Well I am super excited to share pictures of Julia's Dedication gown.
We won't discuss that I started it somewhere around Midnight and finished at almost 6am. Julia got to wear it at 9:30am....but I was thankful for an easy pattern, and a calm confidence that must have come only from god.

I have also been working on Megan's "big sis quilt' Topsy Turvy Turtles by Kariepatch designs.
So far, I have the butterfly antenna's and the rest of the sashing borders to add to the blocks. I'm using batiks mainly from my fabric stash. so far I have counted 89 different batiks and then the white on white fabric for my background. This picture really doesn't do these blocks much justice. I can't wait to start sewing these into rows.


Blessings,
Angie

Welcome to my blog :-) ! I decided to start writing my own blog to share all my works in progress as well as to help hold myself accountable to finishing some of my UFO's (Unfinished Objects). My most exciting news is that my husband and I recently turned our two car garage into a multipurpose family room. I have my own sewing studio now and he has room to work on his radio control cars. We did this in preparation for the birth of our second daughter this past March. I have finally moved everything into my new space, and can gratefully say that it is how I like. But you know with all good things, it will need some tweaking as I go. I will post pictures soon, but it is wonderful to be able to leave my sewing machines up, instead of packing them away all the time. Well, I promise to get pictures up soon. I am currently working on a Topsy Turvy Turtle quilt by Kariepatch designs for my daughter Megan, and a christening dress for Julia's dedication on Mother's day. Pictures to come! Blessings and Enjoy your day!
