Design Wall Monday...

... last one of 2012.

To see what others are doing visit Judy here.

On my design wall is this:

Our niece is expecting a girl in February. 

I still need to applique the eyes. Then I will quilt it before I embroider the facial features and add the bow at the neck.

We think it is a cute pattern and we LOVE the Minkee/Cuddle type fabrics used to make the bear.


I have made this pattern one other time for a co-worker's daughter. 

That one was for a boy. 

On the back I put the information about the baby in bear paws.

My husband liked it so much he requested I make one for our niece.

Design Wall Monday

Check out what others are doing here.

I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. I hope you all find the peace and joy that is Christmas.

I know I haven't posted in a while. Between school/work, being very sick, and having a quilt project to finish up before Christmas I just haven't had the time.

Now I am trying to post pictures of what I have been working on, but I can't seem to find them on my computer! :(

I did finish up this QFK. I do not care for the Rail Fence pattern, but the Pooh fabrics are very cute.

Quilts For Kids - Rail Fence with Pooh fabric.


I also finished this T-shirt quilt and delivered it Saturday morning. They seemed pleased with it.

T-shirt quilt quilted with Zig-Zag design.
I used the Zig -Zag design board by R&S Design. I didn't quilt them evenly spaced. I like the look of random spacing. I stopped at the designs. Some of them are pretty heavily printed and I was nervous that quilting through them would mess up my machine or cause thread breakage.

I have been doing some knitting.

This:



And this:

I am pretty sure I am ADD. I can't seem to work on one project for very long before switching to another one. I really think I need to retire from work and just work on projects at home! Don't think that would go over well. :)

Again, Merry Christmas to all of you!
