I made 3 raggy baby quilts...need to take pics. Two were from pre-quilted fabric that I made window covers for my son's college apt. He brought them back, so I cut them into squares. The other (I did buy some flannel for) but used stash. They don't know what the baby is and I realized I had too much floral/girlie fabric.
Need to take pics and share.
I also made 4 cozy's for stemware for a wedding gift. Her colors are peacocks feather colors. I had fabric with perfect gem colors. Made each different, so it will be like those glass charms.
I purchased a finished quilt top at the thrift store and made a 50x50 backing.
Oh, I also made a strip/string quilt for a donation to a burn victim in Oregon. Still need to piece the back. I don't have a pic of this one either.
Happy Thurs. everyone. I am happy to be off work today (altho worked OT Mon thru Wed); need to head downstairs and sew.

Tisme got her mug rug so I can show it now.

● ● ● I finally busted some stash. It hasn't been there very long, but the really cool part is I didn't pay for it. Dan picked it out and gave it to me for my birthday. Does he know me or what?

It's just a simple mugrug and matching candy bowl.

● ● ● Since I had the camera out, thought I would share the first two blocks.

Now this quilt is going to be busting some stash.

I posted this on the Sew & tell thread but it is from my stash. A robe for my son all ready to wrap up.

here si 2 more BOM blocks. I am doing 5 sets these are from #5

the next one

I made more potholders. Although I have regained my vision in my left eye, I still see through black swirls and blurriness.

couple more

more stash be gone...
These all have warm and natural batting and a layer of Insulbrite inside them.

Marion, love the pot holders. They look like the 10 minute block. What are the dimensions or do you have a link, please?

I have been moving my craft room from one room to another and trying to organize it. So far I have found 60 UFO's. 60!! I am so overwhelmed with how many there are I couldn't figure out where to start. I finally decided to number them all then put the numbers in a basket and draw to decide what to work on. The first number I picked was for a purse I promised my Mom over the summer. It is now finished and I will mail it to her on Monday. Here is the front -

And here is the back. We were at The Button Emporium during the summer and the owner of the store gave the center piece to my Mom.

I have drawn another number and now I am working on a hexagon quilt I started many, many years ago. This one will take awhile.

I sent you a pm.

Tree skirt did turn out pretty,only had this fabric about,well forever!!! Guess who doesn't have one???this is for sonand family.I want to do rag one out of home spun.

Love all the projects! Too bad what little sewing I did in December I can't show! Lori, you know I completed my row for the row robin, even if I can't post a pic, so does that count? LOL!

I did complete this nightshirt for my sister who has been widowed twice and complains she needs a companion. Now she can sleep with a hunk whenever she wants!

.....whoa .. bring it ON! Now that's a hunk I'd snuggle with .... (most of them my age have passed hunk, some have even passed chunk and are ready to dunk)

Thank you Marion! Got it. I need something quick to work on.

I've also been playing with Barbie. Fixing up some clothes from a garage sale for a charity. Repaired all the fancy ones first. Had to dive into my crazy quilting supplies to make two tops and find matching lace edged ribbon and organza ribbon to replace missing/ripped straps on the bottom dresses.

CD player caring case for DGD.

Pretty fabric Sue B. McPatches, I enjoyed making Barbie and American Girl doll clothes, but those Barbie ones are really tight on set in sleeves. LOL ooops, Sue went home and I forgot to sign her out and me in. Sister Sue wouldn't ever be making doll clothes. She likes quilts and quilting. Pat

These are the last things I made. As long as I was making another of the preprinted panels, I went ahead and did another since I had the binding. Just one panel left and now that I got the binding, I will make it one of these days.

At any rate, one of those along with the two receiving blankets (one green & one Curious George print) went to someone on one of Yahoo groups I am on. The same one with the Angel Cards... Chris

Forgot, a throw for the mom too.

What is happening with the pictures? These are the same size I have always posted, but now they are huge?

I can vouch for McPatches! It looks like she used a lot of stash for her row. My row is from stash and it should be finished soon.

I also made some doll clothes. I made one set as practice out of Christmas flannel then used a piece of flannel from a friend's gma had to make doll clothes for her granddaughter.

I finished the potholder I used as a demo in Branson for my pp piecing class which I sent to my mom.

No pictures tho. Bad me.

Just taking time to look at all the wonderful projects. Even with such a busy month, so much productivity.

I got a few blocks for the 2013 SunShine Quilters group done. Hope to spend time the rest of this week getting the first several months done.

● ● ● WOW! I got two projects accomplished this month. Very rare for me, but I needed some gift bags for Christmas.

pillowcases from my stash except for the top 2, a friend gave them to me from her stash.

Finally got my pics together

This is a quilt I made for my SIL Jack ... y'all met him at retreat ... I bought this panel a year ago from last April ... does that count as stash? The rest of it is from my americana stash

This quilt I made for my "colorful" daughter Melissa ... y'all met her and her crazy colored hair at retreat ...

This quilt is called "the colors of my daughters hair" ... cause she's had every single color of this quilt in her hair at one time or another This is from my batik stash

I did the large meander quilting on Kona black with variegated lime green, cause those are her too favorite colors

This one I made for my Precious ... I made it completely from stash, including the backing The focus fabric I had originally bought to make a purse out of, but sure like this more, and I might have enough left over to do one

I did the quilting in variegated purple, and it's hearts and vines I wanted to show the LOVE in this quilt She was amazed that I made her a quilt, and I surprised the heck out of her

The pattern is called "O Henry", and was very easy and fast.

Now... if you notice the new avatar, it is my new quilt labels ... Y'all showered me with SO MUCH ORANGE that I had to start incorporating it into other things ... so this will be my "trademark" on my quilts

I really enjoyed doing these 3 quilts ... in a MONTH! and I LOVED learning to do the quilting on a longarm ... and I want to do MORE of that!

Wow~Lots of people using up stash this month! McPatches & cksvett - by now I would think you wouldnt have any fabric in your house!

Check the list, have I missed anyone?

Lori, Chris and I are just exchanging stashes! I was her Secret Santa and sent her 3 one yard cuts of patriotic fabric from my stash! Still have a whole closet full of fabric though. It seems to multiply all on its own.

Great projects - Chris - I just love the binding on the quilts...little ones sure do like the slippery fabrics don't they?

Thanks for the inspiration. Here's my stay put towel.

And, I also made a mug rug.

cute...cute..cute...

Lovely projects. I have a top almost finished for QWL I just have to finish the borders. Hope I make it in time if DH doesn't get in the way LOL.

● ● ● Almost forgot (again). I made a few infinity scarves for gifts for my family and completely forgot to take them with me. One good thing, there was a very pretty turquoise one and now I get to keep it.

I have a few more things from my stash. the first is a pair of oven mitts and potholders. and the others are some small bags.

Now the bags.

Now the gifts have been opened I can share my calendar hangers that I made for my kids. I made 7 counting the one I made for me. I hope they liked them.

I like those calander hangers.
Everyone has done such nice things. So much fun and inspiration on this thread.

Shequilts, is there a pattern for the calander holder?

Shequilts, is there a separate block for each month? That looks a lot nicer than the German Shepherd dog calendar my DH gave me for Christmas. LOL

There is a pattern for the calendar hangers. The quilt block is a 12 1/2 in. block. I make different blocks just for the fun of it. I wish I had taken a picture of the ones I made gifts. But I guess I wasn't thinking at the time. I asked them to tell my 3 colors they use in their kitchens and went from there. You could do seasonal or holiday anything you would like to do.
It's called Sew Biz "As Time Goes By" Calendar Cozy. finished size is 13 1/4"W x 25"H Thank you for the nice comments!

great stuff. I love the steam coming off the coffee mug rug. I made 18 Xmas pillowcase and still have totes of xmas fabric! I also got 20 burpcloths done so have some on hand for future babies. I bought a bunch of flannel at a rummage sale this summer. I made a kitty quilt for my grandcat for xmas; forgot to take a pic of that also
