Crazy Quilt Christmas Tree Ornaments

Okay, now that I've settled down from laughing over my sister's Halloween costume, I thought I'd share a couple of the Crazy Quilt Christmas Tree Ornaments that I made last week:

I wish had sewn up more of these little heart ornaments.  They were really fun to make!  Maybe I'll do some for Valentine's Day.

Is anyone else having trouble getting their photos to post on Blogger?  I could not get these to post no matter how many times I tried.  I finally had to link the photos over here from my Etsy shop.

Happy Halloween Everyone!

I'm going to do 2 blog posts today.  First, I have to share a couple of photos that my sister Kathi sent to me.  First, I'll explain the joke behind this picture:

Kathi dressed up for Halloween today.  In and of itself, Flo, the Progressive Insurance girl is a cute costume.  But what really makes this funny is that Kathi is an insurance agent!  No, she doesn't work for Progressive.  She works for an agency in Crystal Lake.  Why does this not sound as funny when I write it out as it does in my head? 

When Kathi sent me this photo via text message, I was just getting back in my car.  I literally laughed out loud!  Good thing no one was in the parking lot.  They probably would have thought I was nuts.  I'm a little crazy but I'm not nuts. 

Anyway, I thought this was cute!  And here's another photo.  This too is a result of my sister's incredible sense of humor:

Have a Happy Halloween everyone! 

Large Cellphone Pouches Are Finished!

Wow!  Now that I'm done with my yard for this season, I'm actually getting some things done!  I have to loads to share here but for today, here are my latest Cellphone Pouches:

Since phones are getting larger again, I've been making Large Cellphone Neck Pouches.  And since I'm planning on getting a new IPhone after the holidays, I'll make a new one for myself. But that's after the holidays!

I added chains to these with lobster claw clasps so they're removable.  It's great for walking when you don't want to have to carry anything.

In other news, I just finished up 4 Crazy Quilt Tree Ornaments so I'll have photos of those tomorrow.

My current project is another Christmas pillow so be sure to stop back and see that too.  Then I have to make another gift.  I only have 2 more to do and I'm trying to pace myself, alternating between gifts and things for my Etsy store.

I'll leave you today with the cutest little video.  My dad sent me this the other day.  Ya'll know how much I just love animals and I think you'll get a big kick out of this.  It's called, Cats Stealing Dog Beds.  Enjoy!

A Beautiful Crazy Quilt

I've been doing the hand finishing on a few of my recent projects but feel like I'm in slow motion.  I can't seem to complete anything!  Thankfully, Karin, one of my students from my recent Color and Composition Crazy Quilt Class sent me photos of not only her Lesson 9 block but also, her completed quilt. 

What a treat!  Karin's quilt is gorgeous!  But first, here's her lesson 9 block:

The required elements are all here.  Isn't this stunning?  But here's the real treat:

Isn't this beautiful?  What a lovely quilt!  Thank you Karin, not only for taking my class but for sending me the photos of your exquisite work to share here on my blog.

I still feel bad that I had to cancel the class but many of my students had things come up that interfered with them being able to work on this project.  I hope everyone who worked on the blocks enjoyed them.
