latest completed project

here is the latest completed project...a quilt fit for a little girl. not sure who is going to own this one...either my daughter or maybe a friend. It was made with two charm packs of the same fabric line and a few other pieces from my stash. The charm packs make it super easy! will definitely be making this again with more charm packs. Here is the back...

And of course...a little tutu for my daughter...totally made this up on my own. I would change a few things about it...but it works pretty well for dress up.

newest completed project

Here is the latest project I have completed. A little table runner for my entry way. The pattern came from Anka's Treasures...their Little Charmers II pattern. It went together really easily. It used a charm pack and then fabric for the back and binding. Would definitely make another one and reuse the block pattern for a quilt.

Also finished this little number for a friend who just gave birth to a sweet baby girl. Used Simpliciy It's so Easy patter number 2913. Turned out so stinkin' cute! Makes me want another girl. :)

The Crack Fabric Quilt almost complete

Well a long time ago I showed a sample quilt square using the lovely Nigerian Crack Fabric I found here in Nigeria. Well, here is the completed quilt...almost. I still have to bind it and finish it out. But I thought I would share since it has been FOREVER since I posted something. My inspiration for this quilt came from Kaffe Fasset's book Museum Quilts.

Maybe I should make it a goal to post every two weeks or something...lord knows I need some kind of goal...

New Quilt square

This is the newest project I am working on. It uses local fabric from Nigeria. The fabric is called "crack" or "crackle" fabric. Let's just get it out there. Its fun to say that I'm using my crack fabric. Anyways. I LOVE the way these fabrics work together. These smaller squares will be sewn together then put on point with sashing and cornerstones. I'll keep the finished quilt a surprise for later. But isn't it just yummy so far!

First Completed Quilt

Hello to all.

Here is my first completed quilt titled "Doris' Roman Squares" after my Grandmother. She had these Roman square blocks in her stash when she passed away. So, I took them out and put them together and then added the piano key border from some other scraps she had. I finally finished it in October 2007 and I think it turned our fabulous. More to come.
