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.

Sewing, Sewing and More Sewing

I usually wait until I have a few things that need finishing and then I sew up a storm to get them done.  Today, I sewed up the Peacock purse that I made last week:

And I sewed together the cellphone pouches that made a few weeks back:

I still have the hand finishing to do on all of these but I have a full schedule tomorrow so I doubt I'll get that until Thursday.  I'll have more photos when these are completely done.

In the meantime, I thought you might like to see my Halloween Centerpiece:

I know, I'm a bad kitty mom!  I've tried to teach my cats to stay off my table but I just haven't had any luck since our first cat Garfield.  He never got on the table!  But every one I've had since thinks my dining room table is a perch.  And I just don't have the heart to swoop them off.  If you ever come over for tea and cookies, please know that I'm a constant cleaner!!!

Cottage Christmas Tree Ornaments

Mom and I spent the weekend making some pretty Cottage style Christmas tree ornaments.  These are mom's:

And these are the ornaments that I made:

Mom and I have a good time making things together.  Did I ever mention that I like pink?  LOL!!!

New Etsy Banner for Christmas

Before I can do anymore stitching, I need to get to my sewing machine and piece a few things.  I'd like to make a few small crazy quilt Christmas ornaments for my Etsy store.  But I always have a bunch of what I call "dumb stuff" to do!  I'm trying to get some of that dumb stuff out of my way so I can just settle in for the Winter and stitch until Spring comes.  I still have some yard work to do but everytime I have the time to do it, it rains!

For now, I thought I'd share the new Etsy Banner that Jason did for me with a Christmas theme.  I asked him to do something classic and I think he did a great job!  Here it is:

Of course, you can always hop over to Kitty and Me on Etsy and see a larger version.  I think I'll have Jason do a new for each holiday!  And if anyone else needs a pretty Christmas Etsy Banner, you can reach Jason through his Arcadecache Etsy shop.  I'm sure he would love to have some more creative work to do!
