Modern V

August is the last month for making a quilt from the
Amy Ellis book,Modern Basics
For my last quilt from this book I chose to make the
above quilt,called Modern V

The fabric I will be using.
It is from Kensington Studio for Quilting Treasures,
the line is called Penny Lane.

The fabric all the way on the right is not from this line but I
am thinking about adding some of it in to my quilt.
We shall see!

So I am off to cut into this delicious fabric :)
Check out yesterdays post to enter my giveaway

                                                 

                                                    

Peach Salsa Twister ~ Mug Rug reveal ~ Blogeversary!!!

Recently at the end of Stashtactular I won a $25 gift card!
Which you can read about here
The pattern for this mini quilt came from the Lil Twister
book that I purchased with my winnings :)
I am calling this mini quilt "Peach Salsa Twister"

Because today is my one year blogging anniversary!
My very first post was titled
Palisade Peach Festival
Jolene and I made Peach Salsa from some of the peaches
we purchased there.
Hence the name of my mini quilt  :)
More on that later.

This is the back side,which I decided to piece.
For the top of the quilt I used 20 5x5 charm squares that were
in my swap box of fabric,and then some from my stash too.

Kimber emailed me this weekend to let me know
that she had received her mug rug and goodies!
So I can finally show you the whole photos.
This is the top/front of the mug Rug.

This is the back side.

If you are a follower you know that I was involved in Stashtactular

it again next summer!
Anyway I won the Grand Prize which was a $25 gift card to

The photo above is the Loot that I purchased with said $$$

The Martini fabric in the middle of this clutch is one of the
many scraps that was in my return swap box of fabric & scrap
fabric!
I posted about it here a few days ago.

This is the reverse/back side of the clutch.  The black and gingham
strip of fabric in the center also came from my swap box :)
The personal add fabric I found recently while shopping in the
city with mom!

Who doesn't/didn't love EEyore?!
This pile of scrap-booking love was given to me
by mom :)  She knows that I love EEyore,so she
had been collecting and saving all this up to bring
when her and dad came to visit :)

Of all my hobby's and crafts scrap booking is the
one that gets the least attention :(
So sometime this winter I am going to have to make a
play date with EEyore!
