some of my recent projects

I try to quilt.  I'm not all that great at it.  And I usually need my mom's help......she does the backing and basting and puts the binding on them....but I do the rest.

This year I have finished two quilts...a king sized quilt and a queen sized quilt and make two quilt tops.

I thought you might like to see them.

Master bedroom quilt.

Queen quilt for the guest bedroom (Fabric is Kate Spain Terrain)

Quilt Top (Kate Spain Fandango, Jelly Roll Race)
Another quilt top...this one needs two more borders (Kate Spain Central Park in a disappearing nine patch)
I just bought more fabric and a friend has asked me to price out a lap quilt and a full sized quilt for her.  I would like to try to make some dresses and tops for the girls and me and make some ball pillows as well.

Thanks for looking.

Pinterest, oh how I *heart* thee

I have become addicted to Pinterest.  Yes, I love the site.  I could sit for hours and hours viewing beautiful interiors, craft projects, style boards, etc.

I can get lost in it all.

Lately, I've been having some "issues" with my style.  Mostly because I need to loose weight and nothing fits and more.  And yes, I know I need to start exercising before this "issue" will go away I just haven't found the time for it (but that's a topic for another post).  Therefore, I am LOVING the Style Boards that I have found on other peoples Pinterest sites.

I mean, just look at these:










Now if I can only find inexpensive substitutes for these and room in my closet, I'd be happy camper.

What is your favorite part of Pinterest?
