Happy St. Patrick's Day

I hope all of you are having a wonderful "Green" Day.
I've been keeping busy with another Double Wedding Ring
from AccuQuilt Dies.  This one is in 30's fabrics.
Here are the cuts to make the rings. 
 If you go to Youtube/Double Wedding Ring
by LoveBugStudios, you will see a wonderful
video on how to put this fun quilt together.


This was a fun project that we did at our monthly
Guild meeting; Zippered Pouches.  The zippers
were laid on top, stitched and done the 
easy way.  It was fun, easy and quick.

great fellowship, fabulous food and an outstanding finished project.

March Goodies

As promised, here are a few more March goodies!  
First is the March Tea Towel Topper
Second is a cute candle mat that I put together today.
Third is a candy jar that can be made in no time at all.  
Change the covering for anytime of the year or for any occasion.



The glass jar can be purchased at the Dollar Store.
Cut 2 circles large enough to gather around jar.
Insert a drawstring, tighten and fill with gold candies.
You can dress the jar up with other fabrics to fit any
occasion.

Works in Progress

I have been working at a few projects and here they are.  They're still in the works, but making progress.
The double wedding ring was a result of a class I took at Amazing Quilts www.amazingquiltsaz.com where I got to play for the day.  Changed the colors up a little so that I could have fun with the machine quilting.  The Irish chain quilt was a change from my original plan, too.  Instead of using shamrocks in the open spaces, I did a Celtic knot using fusible bias tape.  Still working my way out and not sure what my borders will look like.  Stay posted to see the finished results!

Snow, Rain & Wind

Hi from AZ and yes, that is what I am seeing out my window this very moment, snow, rain and wind.  I guess we are in for an accumulation of the white stuff tonight and tomorrow.  With the weather like this, it's off to my quilt room for some heavy duty quilting.  Got up early turned on some Celtic music, opened my EQ and started on a St. Patrick's Day quilt that I designed a while back. Then I broke for lunch and turned on the Riverdancing on Ice.  How fun is that.  For those of you that are experiencing cold weather, stay warm, and those of you everywhere, enjoy your day and happy quilting.
