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

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.

I have sent Jennifer an email...
I'm sEw sorry I'm sEw late in announcing the winner,
but it is always better to be late than never!!

I have been sEwing lots and preserving the summer fruits and veggies
 ...some from my garden and some from the farmers market.
The Canton farmers market is small  but it has a lot to offer..
the 'candy' onions are seW delicious...the best sweet onion yet.

...sEw far I've made

10 jars of peach jam
10 jars of strawberry jam, 1 jar is gone!!
12 jars of tomato/peach chili
yesterday it was 14 jars of hamburg/hot dog relish
and I'm still not finished my canning.
You can find the recipe HERE.
It smells so yummy in the kitchen.
I still have to make my pickled beets and
some spaghetti sauce.
If only the raccoons would leave my yellow zucchini alone.
I would like to add it to my spaghetti sauce.
I am getting lots of tomatoes from my garden and they are seW sweet.

I quilted and bound another donation quilt...
it will be going to Margaret's Hope Chest
as part of the 100 Quilts for Kids.

I stitched it with a sports pattern
and it doesn't look too bad.  I'm sure a boy will love it.

The pattern is called Fair and Square

 by Amanda Jean at crazymomquilts.

It is quick and easy, great for a donation quilt.

It is a free tutorial and one of many she offers on her blog.

happy stitching
