Q is for Quilting...

I finally got around to taking a couple of quilt tops to my quilter this week. I use Dixie Decker here in Wichita and she is A-Mazing! Her website is, Quilts to Remember. I highly recommend her!

First, is a toddler quilt I had finished up quite awhile ago, we chose a whimsical flower quilting pattern, it compliments the fabric SOO good! 

Second, is my Sampler Quilt I've been working on since November. This was part of Moose On The Porch's Layer Cake Quilt Along. I'm super excited with how it turned out and can't wait to snuggle up with it this winter!

Here is a partial view of the quilting. We chose a paisley quilt pattern to mimic the paisley's throughout the fabrics. It's quite sensational!

Currently, I am working on a small wall hanging using 4 different batik prints. I also purchased a quilt kit from Fat Quarter Shop for a Christmas gift, I guess I should get started soon considering it's only a few months away!

Summer!

Can you believe that I haven't blogged since March 25!!! Yikes, I'm a horrible blogger! Needless to say I really haven't quilted much since then either. Spring is such a hectic time for myself and my family that I am too busy doing "life" things and not much time for "quilting" things.


So to update ya'll, since March I have --
~Helped my parents host their 11th annual Valleybrook Farm Show Pig Sale
~Helped my sister move into her new home
~Helped her plant gardens and new grass
~Celebrated my 29th birthday
~Grieved the passing of my Grandpa
~Celebrated my sister's 26th birthday
~Bought a ton of fabric that was on sale
~Finished the last 2 blocks in the quilt along!!!

Whoa that is a lot going on, not to mention all the little things that happens in between the fun stuff.

Below are a few pictures of happenings in the past few months. Enjoy!
