Thank you Mdm Samm and Amy for another fun blog hop.

Your hard work is greatly appreciated.
A big thank you to the sponsor of this blog hop
 Camelot Fabrics

I have a few quilty things to share with you today, 
all are easy and fast to make...

I hope you like them.

The first project is a donation quilt suitable for a sports enthusiast
and a pillow case.  
I made this quilt especially 'For the Boys' blog hop.
It is a quick and easy pattern...
cut, sewn, quilted and bound in a week.

I used a collection of sport prints from my stash
...soccer, baseball, football, basketball.
The background is Kona cotton...charcoal grey.
I quilted it with sports equipment and the quilting
 is looking much better than the first time I tried this pantograph.

 

 

The directions for a lap size 48" x 68" can be found HERE.

I called the pattern Cobblestone Path.

I am working on the the fabric requirements for 

quilts measuring 60" x 84" and for 72" x 84"

Follow me by GFC, email, Feedly or bloglovin

and you will not miss it...it will be posted on my blog.

A few years ago

I made a similar quilt using Fair and Square
by Amanda Jean.
I donated it to Margaret's Hope Chest.

Here are a few more quilts and things I've made...some for

big boys and some for little boys.

This is the second quilt I ever made...back in 2001.

It was a flimsy for a long time and finished it about 2005.

 It is still one of my favorite quilts...a quilt for my DH.

It is wonky log cabin blocks made with homespuns

and backed with flannel.  It's a cozy one!!

You can find the tutorial for the wonky log cabin block HERE.

This summer I made another chenille quilt, perfect for a little boy.

This is such a happy quilt.

...this panel quilt was a quick and easy project...

...and a quilt with puppy dogs, kitty cats and balloons

was a fun quilt I made for Quilts for Kids...

I used Henry Glass Happy Town fabric by Jacquelynne Steves

...this special quilted bear I made for my grandson.

He quilted the fabric and

I made it into a teddy bear and 

gave it to him at Christmas  2 years ago.

and last...what little boy wouldn't like a crayon bag 

to express his creativity.

Thanks for visiting.

I hope you come back for another visit.

Where have the last 2 months gone.....

Back in January I won a giveaway from Anna at Woolie Mammoth

...a BOM pattern by McKenna Ryan

WOW what a win!!

 'At Home in the Woods'  is a 12 BOM.

I love how each BOM can be a wall hanging or 

you can make all 12 blocks and have an awesome quilt.

I'll be starting small .... making the Pine Meadow block.

It will be a 29" x 19" art quilt.

On February 15th I won...7 FQ and a panel...

from Bejeweledquilts by Barb.

You can read about it HERE

It was her second giveaway of Happy Town fabrics.

and then February 18th 

I won 3 FQ's and a pattern Citrus Salad designed by Jill Finley. 

from Karen at Sew Much 2 Luv

I should have bought myself a lottery ticket but didn't!!!
Do you think it is too late to buy that ticket, or has my luck ran out????

DH and I are going to the Canton 'Home Show' today
and then we are back home so he can watch his sports and I can play with fabric.
I'll be working with the Happy Town fabric so I can enter the 
Henry Glass Contest for Quilts for Kids.

To enter the contest, 
hop on over to Crazyquiltgirl Fabric Shop and get your fabrics.
She has 6 fabrics in stock and 2 more bolts coming tomorrow.
You can see the fabrics she has or will have available by Monday 
in my previous post.


Today I'm joining linky parties at
Kathy's Quilts
Karen's Sew Darn Crafty party

There has not been much luvin on my blog...lately...I've been feeling burned out.

My Day is March 14.
My one project is finished, yes just one project....just need a few photos.
I will be scheduling my post before I leave on vacation.

I have been knitting....
3 more frilly scarves finished in February

...I have been embroidering...

This is Bird Brain Designs Santa Quartet pattern.

I stitched it in 10 days from start to finish...a few late nights!!

...I finished piecing the Red White and Blue Great Granny Square Quilt.

It's even quilted and bound.

It will be donated to the Ann Arbor Veteran's Hospital.

I did a demo of the great granny square at our January quilt meeting.

Yes. I've definitely been keeping busy...I even managed to bind 

a queen bed size flannel quilt....a beast of a quilt, but beautiful.

Sorry no picture...it is for a cancer charity auction.

A co-worker of Mama Sparks made the quilt.

I was playing with lots of fabric at CrazyQuiltGirl Fabric Shop last week

Corina has 6 bolts of Happy Town fabric in stock

and is expecting 2 more bolts by Monday

Henry Glass Fabrics is sponsoring a contest using the Happy Town fabric 

designed by Jacquelynne Steves.
First prize is $500.00, second prize is $250.00
All royalties from this fabric are donated to Quilts for Kids.

Starting Monday I will be working on Quilts for Kids quilts...
I have a few ideas for some lap size quilts and am anxious to get started.

I'll be working on my stitchery project for the Stitch Me Up Blog Hop too.
That will keep me busy for the month of March.
