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.

Happy stitching

It's been a quilting weekend...

It was a last minute decision to join Wendy at Sugarlane Designs 

and 75 quilters for FNSI...

My friend Christa came over 

so we could work on a quilt we are making

for Safe House....

this is how it looked Friday about 11 p.m. when she left for home.

I am lovin' it...

It is one of Bonnie Hunter's quilts from her book

String Fling called Zuckerwatte (Cotton Candy).

Bonnie's quilt was made with pink scraps.

Saturday morning Christa and I went to our GAAQG meeting...

after the meeting we had our annual quilters garage sale...

lots of great bargains....I did buy a little fabric...$2.00 to $3.00 per yard.

I didn't need it...I just couldn't pass up some of the great deals.

We were there from about 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and came back to

my house to stitch some more on the Safe House quilt.

Around 2 o'clock DH grilled some burgers for lunch...yummy!!

I called Mamaspark as she wanted me to help wrap a quilt she made for a wedding gift.

I told her how I would wrap it....

...roll it and wrap the 2 pillow cases around the outside 

and tuck the ends into the open end to secure the pillow cases and 

then tie with ribbon and a bow.

I told her to come over if she needed help.

She prettied it....to gift at a wedding reception last night. 

Take a look at it here.  It is beautiful!!

Christa and I stitched and pressed, stitched and pressed some more.

Someone stopped for a cat nap...it wasn't me...we had pizza for dinner and 

when Christa left around 11:00 p.m. it looked like this.

This afternoon I am putting a binding on a quilt that 

Mamaspark is gifting for another wedding in August.

It is a beauty.

I luv the border...

the whole quilt was beautifully quilted by Liz Bowman, Milan Michigan.

If you missed my Moda Bakeshop recipe this month you should hop on over

and check it out. It's called Cobblestone Path.

Crazyquiltgirl Fabric Shop has the Dessert Rolls available...

...and some Moda Marbles Ombre yardage is coming soon.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday.

The weather in Canton Michigan is perfect today.

Have a wonderful day!!

Happy stitching!!

It's my day to share on the Moda Bakeshop...

THANK YOU for taking the time to visit my blog.

If you are visiting for the first time

take a look around...I hope you enjoy what I have to share with you.

My Cobblestone Path quilt is a fun and fast quilt to make.

I should have the ingredients to make a twin size Cobblestone Path quilt

tested....and posted on my blog in a couple of weeks.

If you make a Cobblestone Path quilt or any of my projects found on my Tutorial page

I would love it if you shared them on my QuiltnQueen Show & Tell flickr group.

My first Moda Bakeshop recipe was a message board made with chalk cloth.

It was part of Moda's Christmas gift series 2012 - Charmed Message Board

Crazyquiltgirl Fabric Shop carries a number of Moda's Dessert Rolls.  

Corinna has ordered the Marble Ombre Dots Dessert Rolls and

3 bolts of yardage...the Pink, Lime and Teal.

Moda has shipped them and should arrive in her shop early next week. 

If you would like yardage in another color Corinna will be happy to order it. 

THANK YOU to everyone for stopping by for a visit.
