Crazy Quilt Snowman Pillow

I have some things to share today, all in various stages of progress.  First, is my pink cellphone pouch:

This is completely finished now and ready to go to it's new owner!

Next, is my little green Crazy Quilt teddy bear:

It doesn't look like much now but it will when I get it sewn up next week.

Last but not least, my newest project.  A Crazy Quilt Snowman pillow:

I did the little cross stitch snowman a few years ago.  Finally decided to sew it into a pillow.  I just started on this piece this morning.  I'm done with chores for the day so I can go stitch on it some more now!

Victorian Style Crazy Quilt Pillows

Well, I hope you're not all sitting here clicking the reload button over and over!  I know I left ya'll hanging on what I was going to sew the old world santa and the lady in the hat into.  Okay, I know this isn't Ebay so no need to think that anyone is sitting on the edge of their seat here!  LOL!!!  I made them into Victorian Style Pillows.  Are ya'll surprised?

And here is the Old World Santa Pillow:

I don't know which one I like more!  The santa is a bit unusual for me since I like to work with a more colorful palette but I do think this is stunning! 

So for my next projects, I have to finish up my little green teddy bear doll, I need to work up the model for Lesson 8 of my Crazy Quilt Class and I have a pile of other things that I can't wait to stitch on.  I guess I should get off the computer now and get to my stitching!

Crazy Quilt Teddy Bear

Well, I finally decided what to sew my 2 stitched pieces that I shared yesterday into.  Hmmmm.....should I spill the beans?  or wait?  I think I'll tease ya'll and wait!  Both are sewn so I just have to do the hand finishing.  If all goes well, I'll post photos tomorrow.  You'll definitely want to see these so do stop back!

A friend of mine asked me for one of my Crazy Quilt Teddy Bears in green so I started stitching on it this morning:

I would have been further along on this but my little baby kitty Cotton decided that he wanted to stitch too.  I told him that he was too young to play scissors and needles!  LOL!!!  I put it down to play with him and some of his toys.

While digging around in my stash for the something the other day, I found a few packages of vintage satin blanket seam binding:

I opened the satin binding up and ironed it flat.  Vintage anything is such high quality compared to most of what's available now.  I'm going to use it to make a few yo-yo's.  There's miles yardage here so I'll either make a lot of yo-yo's or I'll save some for future crazy quilt projects!

Christmas Crazy Quilt Block

Been on the go these past few days so this is the first chance I've had to update my blog.  I do have some stitching to share.  First is the Lady In the Hat block that I started the other day.  It's done now and ready to sew into something:

Next, I started on this block yesterday and finished it this morning:

I still haven't decided what I'll sew these into but my day is free tomorrow so hopefully, I'll figure it out by then!  LOL!!!

I'll leave you with a new photo of Cotton and Wrigley:

They were curled up together in my computer chair.  I almost thought I'd have to pull the laptop out!  Heaven knows I won't disturb the kitties when they're sleeping!

Crazy Quilt Cats

So it's no secret that I absolutely adore cats!  And cats are a favorite theme of mine when it comes to Crazy Quilting.  I have some finishes to share today and yes, they are all cat themed!

First is my Victorian Crazy Quilt Cat Pillow:

Next, I have a couple of new Crazy Quilt Cat Dolls to share:

These 2 cats are for gifts.  I try to alternate between things for my store and gifts.  Anyway, those are my finishes for this week!  I'm off to sit with my little ones and stitch for the rest of the day.  It's cloudy and dreary today and perfect for watching TV and stitching!
