little quilt monday~~~striped binding

Little Quilt Monday


This little mini has sat around patiently waiting for the perfect binding.
I finally found it this week and I am very pleased with the stripes ; )


This little quilt measures 9 X 9 and it is made up of UFO blocks
from a project of long ago…as you can tell by the fabric.

I think the stripe fabric gives it a little zip, and it will make a nice little
table mat for my desk!



The addition of big stitches are always a fun and easy way 
to finish a mini quilt.

Now it is your turn to link up something to

Little Quilt Monday

1.  This link-up party is for any small project.  For example, mini quilts, doll quilts, baby quilts, place mats, mug rugs,
wall quilts, table runners, etc.

2.  They can be a WIP(work-in-progress) or finished.

3.  If it is something from the past there is no need to write a new blog post, just link the one that you have already written, and, please link back to my blog post.

4.   If you are interested, you can add your pictures to my flickr group here, or join my Facebook group here. 

Let's inspire each other!

little quilt monday~~~baby banner

Little Quilt Monday

My daughter and I hosted a baby shower today and I made
a banner to celebrate the occasion.

I used felted wool, and a cute zigzag fabric, along with some
embroidery thread.  This was a fun, easy project : )





The mother-to-be plans to hang this when the little guy is born
to welcome him home.  I think banners are such a fun addition
to a celebration....especially a precious birth!

little quilt monday~~~journal cover

Little Quilt Monday


It has been a long time since I have had a post for LQM.
BUT I plan to start posting more often and today I have a couple
journal covers that I made using
 my favorite "charms on point technique".

I used some 2.5 inch mini charm packs for this project.   The one above is
Modern Bliss by Andie Hanna for Robert Kaufman fabrics.

The one below is Posy by Aneela Hoey for Moda fabrics.


Below you will see some pics to show a little bit of the process
that I use when making the charms on point design.









I added a solid fabric to finish the journal covers and I am pleased with how they
turned out so I have decided
that I will make this my go-to pattern for journal covers ; )
