One more OPAM finish for March...where did the month go?   I got this cute little doll quilt pattern from the Fairfield website, it is a free pattern from Kathy Tracy. She designs wonderful little quilts...you need to visit her delightful blog and be inspired!

Little helper!

I had a great little helper today.  Jack likes to sit at his little table and color, while I sew.  Sometimes I let him sit on my lap while I am sewing on binding at the machine.  He thinks he is such a big boy!  I managed to get bindings sewn on two little quilts today, so now I can spend "quality" time with my husband this evening watching movies and get the bindings tacked down.


And look what I made this week! 
 I went to a class at the Prairie Point quilt shop and made this neat Penny Blooms table topper.  Lynne Hagmeier of Kansas Troubles Quilters spent the afternoon showing us how to do raw edge applique.  It is fast and easy!  I started this little table topper at 1 p.m. and had it finished by 4:30 p.m.  It was pouring down rain all day, so what a great way to spend a rainy afternoon.  On Thursday evening, Lynne came to our Nimble Thimbles Quilt Guild and gave a wonderful program...we got to see all kind of wonderful quilts from Kansas Troubles Quilters.   It has always been one of my favorite lines of fabric...guess I just like that old, dirty look!

Cinnamon Twist is finished!



Another finish for January!
This quilt is made up of 4 inch blocks from a block exchange I participated in a few years ago.  My goal was to have it finished for our next retreat for Show and Tell.  The quilt is from Jo Morton's book "Remembrance's".  I love all the quilts in this book, hope to make most of them!  So far, I have made two . 
It's another dreary, foggy, drizzly day....yuck!  I am so glad today is my day off.  A good day to stay inside and sew!  I pulled another UFO out of the closet....actually it kinda fell out...so I thought that was a good sign that it needed some attention.

It's in the mail!



It's finished and in the mail!  My niece had a baby in April 2009, and it has taken me this long to get it completed.  It's winter, and I am sure he will make good use of it now.
Baby John lives in Virginia, so hope I will have a picture of him with his new quilt to show off later on! 
This is my first finish for January 2010! Hope to have a couple more before the month is over.  The OPAM project such a good idea!
