In Non-Quilting News...

Just a quick note to pass along some great news! My dad raised the Grand Champion Market Hog at the Kansas Junior Livestock Show this past weekend. Shown by the Fritts' Family of Emporia. It was such a great honor for my dad to have raised the Champion and I couldn't be more proud! He's worked so hard to produce champions and this was his first at this particular show. Way to go Dad!

p.s. The kid in the picture is John Fritts and the gentleman standing with him is Steve Nichols of Indiana (The Judge of the show).

Christmas WIP's

Yep, that's right I'm whipping up some Christmas projects and super excited that they are almost finished! Until then here are some lil snapshot previews of them. I have some rework to do on both of them to get them how I want, but since they are just table runners it shouldn't take too long to get them all finished up. Both are being made from a 12 Days of Christmas Charm Pack and of course my go to solid - Bone by Kona.





On another note, my French General Christmas Quilt I'm making is coming along perfectly. I did have to pack her all up and hide her though for the weekend, since the lucky reciever is going to be staying for the next few days. I'll wait to post another pic of her until she's done!

Hunters Cabin

Just a quick pop in to show off a quilt top I stitched up really fast two Sunday's ago. I was helping my sister find fabric at a local quilt shop for her beginner's quilt class she's in right now. She was deep into her fabric selection, so I wandered off and found this awesome 1 yard panel from Woodlands by Erin McAllister. All it took to make this little jewel was the panel, two outer borders, and of course a back! It's going to fit perfectly into our almost finished basement, especially since we are going for a hunter's cabin/lodge type feel. It still needs quilted, but you get the idea! ~K.B.

Sneak Peeks...

Whoa - LOTS of things going on in my quilting world, so I thought I'd share a few pictures of my most recent projects. Sadly, I didn't even take pictures of ALL of the projects. And to make matters worse I started another last night!  Don't laugh I know you've all been there too!

Above is some lovely Verna by Kate Spain that I am going to use for a backing of a quilt that has yet to be started, lol. I HAD to snap it's picture though because it's so beautiful!

Some GORGEOUS Fresh Cut by Heather Bailey! I have an idea in mind for this quilt, here's to hoping it turns out wonderful!

Last but definetly not least is some Lumiere de Noel by French General. I am using KarrieLyne's pattern Crossing Paths from the Moda Bake Shop. It's going to be stunning, I just know it!

 That's all for now, until next time... Adios, K.B.
