Little Love Notes

I finished! I had mentioned a little while ago I had several projects in the works and this little charmer was one of them. I saw Jenny Doan's You Tube video and simply had to make one. Too cute and I already had the fabric. I used some scraps I had laying around so my finished quilt is 30" square. I seem to like things square. Anyway I can't wait to display this next Valentines day.

Simply Houndstooth

Wow I have been working hard on this and more pictures to come once I figure out how to get them off my phone. I'm posting my first pattern on crasfty! I'm so excited even though I am just getting my feet wet with this first small pattern. It's also free! I love free and am happy to share this with you. Last year I posted about how to put together a baby houndstooth quilt and I really wanted a fresh update on this.
If there are any questions about this pattern please ask I would love to help.

Here are some more pictures of my finished product. enjoy!

Catching up.

So much has been happening in my quilt-y life. Currently I have six projects in the works. I was nearly tempted to pick up my rotary cutter and start a seventh when I thought  to myself I really need to start finishing some of these. I think that compulsion to start another project comes from tiring of my current task. such as I've been doing a lot of piecing and I want a change of pace. Usually it's also because I have all of these ideas and things I want to try. Sometimes when you're working on a large project you need a break and a small runner or place-mat is just the thing. Plus you get that satisfaction of completing a project. I love it when that happens. So soon I will have some new projects to post about so stay tuned!

How do you keep track of your projects? How many are you usually working on at once?

Fabric Love Friday

Fusions by unknown I only have a couple of fat quarters of this fabric and "Fusions" is the only word on the fabric that I have. It reminds me of the "willow" by Timeless Treasures.

Elizabeth made in Japan. Love this delicate little doily design I wish I had more yardage.
