Sprocket Pillows

 I made these pillows for Liz for Christmas.  I followed this tutorial.
 
I used 7 different fabrics from the "Sunkissed" collection.  The pillows measure 16 and 14 inches.
I will definitely make more of these in the future.

Just in Time for Christmas!

 I put the last stitch in the binding last night.  Notice my husband's "Christmas Story" leg lamp in the window.
 
 The back is my very favorite color, RED.
 
I think Kate Spain's "Twelve Days of Christmas" and Dutch Pinwheels go together nicely.
 
I love it more and more every time I look at it.  It is 86 x 86, perfect for our bed.

Dream On!

 My latest finish is a charm pack quilt made completely of the Dream On collection by Urban Chiks.  Sorry the pictures are a little washed out,  the winter sun is very bright this morning.
 
 These fabrics are reproductions of vintage sheets and very much remind me of the sheets I slept on in the sixties and seveties.
 
 Lucy needed to get in on this photo shoot.
 
 The quilt is made up of 10 charm packs that I collected over several months so it took me several days to sew 420 5 inch squares into strips and then all together.
 
The back is white with orange flowers and green ribbons and the binding is the yellow stripe.  It measures 90 x 94.5 and is on a bed already.
