Two Hour Tulip Purse

I know I haven't posted anything in awhile just couldn't get myself movin but, finally yesterday I made this purse it's called "The Two Hour Tulip Purse" by Janice Pope http://www.twohourtulip.com/ The fabric is "PURE" by Sweetwater  for Moda. I have the charm pack and the jellyroll and just a yard of the main fabric love, love this fabric so fresh & clean looking reminds me of being at the beach. Well I have to admit it did take me longer than 2 hrs. but, I was doing other things also in between. I made the handles over the shoulder length and covered a button to match. Today I'm going to start a baby blanket for my niece who's expecting a little girl in May and I'm sure it will take me that long to finish I'm not quick like alot of you experienced quilters out there. We're expecting the snow storm hat some of you have already gotten so will be a good day to stay in and sew, stay warm and I'll keep you updated on progress of blanket

They first got their picture taken then had breakfast consisting of pancakes, sausage, orange slices and choice of beverage then they could get their faces painted, make a craft a necklace or bracelet out of cereal and color some Christmas pictures.

"Snowman"

Karen from http://sewmanyways.blogspot.com/ had this snowman idea for her Tool Time Tues. and I fell in love right then and now so this is my *snowman*. I bought the bottom wreath at Wal-Mart and the 2 others I made out of garland I made the top hat out of cardboard and felt the scarf is a pair of knee length socks, I couldn't find a scarf in the color I wanted and seen these and a scarf was born. He was fun to make and I thank Karen so much for the idea and for sharing it she has alot of really neat ideas go see for yourself!

We had our Christmas party for our quilt guild this month because we don't meet in Dec. it was held at "The Blue Heron" restaurant the food was yummy I might add, it was a chicken dish with garlic mashed potatoes, grren beans, choice of beverage and chocolate mousse for dessert. We had a gift exchange and if you had a secret sister she was revealed then. I received from my secret sister the charm pack "Fancy Hill Farm" by Robyn Pandolph, Oh Sew Charming pattern to use the charm pack for and Season's Greetings stitch n hang cross stitch kit the turquoise organizer was from the gift exchange and it can also be used as a purse liner she filled the inside pockets with handy little items we had a great time!









I aslo went to Florida for a few day's to visit my BF and hubby that's what the picture of the quilt is from it was made by his great great great grandma in 1860 while her husband was off to war. It is in excellent condition considering it's age. The sunrise picture is taken out their back door one morning and the sunset pictures were taken the last night I was there beautiful 70-80 degree weather the whole time I was there, we went to a quilt shop in Clearwater called "Rainbow's End" http://rainbowsendquiltshoppe.com/
 they have so many bolt's of material you don't know where to start but I was a good girl and didn't go overboard but I sure could've check out their website above. Well that's all for now hope to get other blocks finished soon and will post when done till then "Happy Sewing"
