A Year of Schnibbles!

Ties that my dad gave me to eventually make a quilt or two from...my favorite is the Packer one, though there are several golf ties since that was his huge hobby and one Mickey Mouse and another Santa tie--that one plays music! I know I gave him a few of these, but not positive which ones!

I have decided to join in on the fun with a Year of Schnibbles. Not sure I can keep up with one a month, but I love the patterns and the idea of it so I am going to give it a whirl. If you are interested, sign up by Sept. 1st with http://pinkpincushion.blogspot.com/ and http://aquiltinglife.blogspot.com/ I will add this button to my sidebar...can't wait to find out what the first pattern is! If you have never seen one of these patterns here is a website with more info too: http://www.missrosiesquiltco.com/Schnibbles.html I thought I didn't have any of these patterns, but turns out I do have one I got last Spring that I haven't done!

I got in some quilting today on the other Chinese Coin quilt...hand sewed the binding down while watching "A Haunting in Connecticut" I used to love horror movies, but now they freak me out too much!

Two Complete Chinese Coin Mini Quilts and some Coasters

Kathy finished cutting the borders and all for my future Twist of Fate quilt and also had me sewing together scrap pieces to make some cute coasters. They are a bit wonky, but I was in a wonky kind of mood. I love the colors together!

Here is Ayla's doll quilt for Christmas all done. I just machine quilted it real simple after pillowcase turning it out. I attempted to write her name in the pink section and if you know what it says you can read it. Smile.

Here is my Chinese Coin mini quilt, I just finished hand sewing the binding down while watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for the first time. When it is over I need to pack for Pennsylvania!

Chinese Coin Mini Quilts

Kathy cut more than half the pieces for this Twist of Fate quilt...she got me the kit for my bday last year (and it is almost my bday this year!) and I haven't managed to do anything with it. So she cut it up and I labeled it and bagged it up for Fall Quilt Camp. I think this will be a good one to work on there if it is all pre cut. I really like how the blocks look like a puzzle fit.

My sister, my dad and his significant other, oh and Divot the dog. I am glad she got to see him before coming back to AZ. Soon it will be my turn. Have not heard any more news, though he had lots of tests today.

Tonight I played in my sewing strips and made three little quilt tops. They are of the Chinese Coin type and were done with pretty random strips around them. This one may turn out to be what I use for the next quilt auction donation for my guild.

This one with the pink strip will most likely be a doll quilt present for Kathy's niece Ayla. She just spent the night over here and I thought she would like this for her baby dolls.

And I decided to make a tiny one for me so that I can change out my A is for Adiminaby quilt now and then. They went together pretty quickly and I like the slight wonkiness of them. I will try to machine quilt them myself which should be entertaining, smile.
