Glad to have more finishes

So glad to have 4 more finishes to show you today, and really glad to have them out of my closet!  I have been showing you so many little baby quilts lately so I am going to switch things up a bit-these quilts are a tad larger :-)  These will go to project Linus since they are small lap sizes.

This is a Villa Rosa design, I love those sweet little laminated cards. If you need a quick easy quilt you really need to check these out. For a while our local quilt shop was having a monthly VIP and we got a free pattern from Villa Rosa just for attending! But all good things must come to an end and she now has a different program.

I freehanded a curly half flower design on it. I had extra green 2.5" strips so I have a scrappy green binding.



















This was a preprinted Mother Goose panel and I added the diamond red and yellow border along with the blue ones.  This panel was really wonky so I had a hard time when squaring it up, so it's their printing not my cutting/sewing-just so ya know, LOL

A disappearing nine patch with butterflies, I used the Angel Wings pantograph to quilt it because it looks like butterfly wings to me :-)

And another preprinted panel. I bought this one several years ago, when I was pretty new at longarming, so I could practice Pam Clarke techniques and never did it till now. Since then, I have learned I like free handing all overs or doing custom block work with rulers best. So that is what I did-all ruler work on this one. I used one of Renae Haddidin's amazing arc's for the block,  a smaller curved ruler for the flying geese border and a small squiggle ruler for the blue sashing.  I did piece and add the top and bottom (red and yellow) half square triangle borders along with the blue ones so it would have a little more length.

























There are lots of inspiration in the linky parties each and every week, and we all love it when you come look and maybe even leave us sweet comments ;-)  So go get inspired by checking out the links on the left side bar!

Done, done, done!

Yeah! I really do have some finishes to show you this week!! These 3 little quilts are approx 36" sq. Just quick, fun little ones to donate to our local Neonatal. I will deliver them in Feb to the gal collecting them through our local guild.  My personal goal is to be able to donate 12 this year, one for each month, so I have a little head start which is a very good thing :-) 

I decided to use our grandson's bouncy chair for a prop! And you get to see a little backing of the orange quilt peeking out of the bottom. 

The center of this quilt, the letters and red border, is a panel I picked up for 50 cents at store going out of business! It was pretty small so I added the blue checkerboard and yellow borders and had fun quilting it up.

Orange Charmer I'll call this one. Wish I could remember the name of this charm pack, but I think I picked it up at Missouri Quilt Company a couple years ago when a friend and I were on our way back from Machine Quilters in Overland Park, Kansas.

 











And here is my first chevron quilt, don't cha just love the nice bright colors for a baby!

Delivering day-Awesome!

This was an awesome day, I delivered 14 of the 20 quilts I made this year to the local Ronald McDonald house. The gals at the desk were so appreciative and complimentary, it just made my heart swell to know I could wrap some child in love and warmth.

Project Linus quilts

Just finished binding these 4 quilts between yesterday and today and delivered them to Project Linus. It is so rewarding to donate them to a worthy organization.

Whew I am really tired tonight, but I did manage to get a lot done today. Finished up this string tumbler that I started a week or more ago. Yesterday I had a friend over and she started one and I worked more on this. Finished it up this morning. The inspiration for this quilt came from http://www.maryquilts.com/strings/string-tumblers/ Thanks Mary. It's an awesome way to use leftovers from other projects.

I then moved onto another charity quilt, this one I used a charm pack of Wizard of Oz fabrics and navy background. This is a free pattern I found here http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/2011/02/movin-on-up.html Thanks Amanda Jean!,
