I participated in Amy's Creative Side's One Thing One Week Challenge.

I made a nap mat for Jared. It's not perfect, but I'm pretty proud of it! It's cute & Jared loves it! I got it done in a week, so yay for me!

I entered a quilt giveaway!

We quilters hardly ever make quilts for ourselves. I haven't yet, that's for sure! So I entered a quilt giveaway on Craftopotamus! Check out her beautiful quilt. I WANT IT!

Hello out there! I need to get this going again!

Long time, no blog! I am getting back into my quilting hobby after having baby Jake! Here's the latest picture of him! He's almost 4 months old!



So....apparently anyone who's anyone in quilting has a blog, so I've got to get on this! I don't know anything about having a cool-looking blog, so bear with me!

I'm going to participate in Amy's Creative Side's One Thing One Week Challenge.

I'm going to make a nap mat for Jared. Here's the tutorial from Jenny Garland, a fellow Dallas Modern Quilt Guild member:

Nap Mat

Here's hers:





I'm making mine out of this fabric from Joann:



I have to have it done by Sunday and I might win a charm pack!

Here's my mom enjoying her quilt!

She loved it! She had it in her lap for only about 5 minutes before she took it to her bedroom so none of the grandkids got anything on them. :)

FINISHED!!!!

It's been awhile since I've posted, but I just finished the quilt today! I've been working so hard on it. I'm so happy w/ how it turned out. It's not going to win any fabulous quilting prizes, but it's so special it doesn't matter. I'm so glad it's finished & I can't wait to give it to my mom on Christmas!

Progress: Backing picked & quilt sandwiched!

Yes, I'm alive. LOL! I got an old sheet that is complementary to the colors in the quilt.



Here's what it looked like sandwiched. I'm a bit disappointed it isn't bigger. It's huge to me, but compared to an official twin-sized batting, it looked smaller.
