Two Quilts finished this week!

I managed to finish two quilts this week. The first quilt is another "Merry Mayhem" mystery quilt. I call it "Kiwi and Friends." This will be a Christmas gift for my granddaughter. She loves pink! and they have a pet Blue Conyer parrot named Kiwi. I hope you can see the birds in the pink fabric.


Here's a picture of Kiwi! Such a pretty bird!

My second finish is "Little Garden" the summer Thimbleberries project. It measures about 58 inches square.  I still need to add the final border to my fall Thimbleberries quilt and my winter Thimbleberries quilt! Hopefully, they will appear on "Finish It Up Friday" real soon.

Although I am trying to finish projects already started, I do need to start a new quilt--this time a baby quilt! For a baby boy! I'm excited about being a grandma again....this will be our 3rd grandchild.

Have a great weekend, and till next time, keep stitchin!

Finish It Up Friday

The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of His hands.
Psalm 19:1

I've decided to join the "Finish It Up Friday!" group in the hopes that it will stir me on to finishing up more of my UFOs. This week was extremely unusual in that I actually finished 4 quilts. And yes, they are all small ones. But they're finished! Yeah! The first you've seen before:  "Boo" is 12 inches square. See yesterday's post to see how cute he looks on the fireplace mantel.

The quilt below is called "Glimmers" and is actually composed of little 9-patches. It's about 15 inches square.


The quilt above is has 4 Dear Jane blocks made with Thimblerries fabrics. It's about 14 inches square. The quilt below is Yankee Doodle, a Jo Morton pattern, finishes about 30 inches square.


Hopefully hurricane Sandy will wait until Monday so I can get some sewing in on Saturday and Sunday! Till next time, keep stitchin!
