Ice Cream, Anyone?

Boy, I am such as sucker for a fun sew-along!  I've been sewing along with Ellison Lane Quilts in a fun little sew along that started last week - it's not too late to join in for a little summer fun - we've done lemonade, a cupcake, a popsicle and a soft serve ice cream. These are going to make an adorable little mini quilt, don't you think? 

Linking up this week with WIP Wednesday to share my progress - hope you have a great week!

Blogger's Quilt Festival

Today I am entering this little mini Dresden in the Blogger's Quilt Festival - I never knew I would fall so in love with this little quilt.  I made for a blog hop earlier this year, but it quickly became one of my favorites.  I'm entering it into the mini quilt category.   The antique fussy cut scissors make it a perfect hanging for my sewing room.  I hope you enjoy.  And if you are so inclined, there is voting for for a Viewer's Choice award here.  I think you need to link to this post in the form.  Next week there will be voting in each category. Either way, go check out all of the amazing quilts that have been entered so far. 

If you're here visiting from the Festival - welcome!! I would love for you to come back soon!

WIP Wednesday

I have finally finished the quilt top for my son's kindergarten teacher - whew this one was very time intensive, but the result was totally worth it, don't you think? I blogged about it earlier, but just a reminder - this was a great tutorial from The Sewing Chick with fabric that was created from self portraits drawn by my son's kindergarten class to be presented to their teacher at the end of the year.

I'm going to try to quilt it this week, I'm so happy this one won't go down to the deadline.

Do you ever have a hard time giving away one of your quilts? It sounds crazy, but I bond with a quilt while I'm putting it together, and while nothing makes me happier than giving it away, its always a little sad too!  

Anyway, I ran outside the minute I finished the top of this to grab some photos to share.  Enjoy - should have a nice finish on this to share with you soon! 

Linking up to WIP Wednesday again - have fun looking at all of the great eye candy out there!
