Finishes

WooooHoooo! I got some stuff done!  
Firstly... that fabric that I showed you... I cut and sewed and lo and behold I got the quilt top done by Thursday night!!! Whatever has gotten into me??? lol  granted it's a very simple pattern, but still! :)

Then... I had my eggs almost done.  I promised the gals at the store that I would finish them up and have them done so that people could see what we were making for the class... and lo and behold I got them done and the finished this morning... heavens... 2 finishes??? 

But wait!!! I pulled out a quick little stitch that I finished (the stitching) like last year... or the year before... I don't know but he's been floating around for some time... and look!!! I made him into a little wall hanging! Isn't he too cute???

So... there you have it! 3 finishes in like... 4 days??? How productive! How amazing! How satisfying! Now, I have to clean my kitchen... :( not as exciting or amazing but probably productive...

until later... stay warm...

Oh look, I got pretties!

I got some lovely Klemscott scissors and a needle minder at Christmas... well, I got them for myself... I got some for my Mom too... but anyways... it doesn't matter which Santa brought them right? LOL 

The fabric fat quarters are Moda from one of my wonderful LQS... I have to admit we have some of the most awesome quilt stores in the nation... I think anyways.  The bottom fabric is Wyndham.  The tote... Oh, my at the Quilt Away in Great Falls, MT they had these lovely Moda BBD totes... arggghhhh.... I have to have it! so, I got it and the lovely Moda fat quarters too...

The needle book with the strawberries I made and just finished up with the buttons. It's made with all felted wool.  They are very easy to make!  I love needle books! I love wool!  I love scissors, I love needle minders, hmmm... I love a lot of things! The crocheted doilies... I bought on Ebay.

oh, and lastly... a little more stash... Carriage House Samplings: Fredrick, Frederika, Sampler Stocking and Alpha Blocks and BBD Tokens of Friendship.

Dreams, business and stash...

I'm thinking of doing something new... well... sort of... not really...   hmmm... now that doesn't make any sense does it?  It's just if I put it down here... then I'm somewhat accountable.  For quite sometime I've thought of starting my own pattern/design business.  Maybe even a small web based needle shop... though I don't know about that... I suppose it could start with kits... hmmm...  There, I've said it.  I'm thinking cross stitch (of course) but it could easily branch into needle punch/rug hook & quilting.  Which I think all go together anyways!  LOL...
I guess, I need to start talking with established designers for information.  I have a couple of charts made up... maybe I will post one as a freebie and see what you think??? 
Ok... so, stash... there really is much to report! LOL  The last picture is a block of the month that I am participating at my local quilt store.
