Pretty in Pink

To show you I do get some sewing done around here.  

These are the doggie scarves I made for my good friends dogs 

for Christmas.  Aren't they sweet?   Mom loves purple so the 

pink heart fabric seemed appropriate with purple.  They look

even cuter on the dogs.  We doggie sat Katie and Ginger here

the week of Christmas and I forgot to take photo's.  Aack!!  

Maybe I can get a photo of them sporting their new scarves

later.  The dogs are the sweetest little designer dogs Morky's

( Maltese and Yorkie) mix.  They resemble the Yorky breed.  

Then there are the pretty pink pinwheel blocks I completed this

weekend.  

I love the batik fabric on this block with the gradation in colors.  

See how the points in the middle of this block came together perfectly. 

Yah Baby!   Not so with many of the other blocks.  No matter how 

hard I try to keep the points together, those Naughty little triangles 

don't always cooperate.   

This is the gorgeous inspiration quilt from McCall's Quilting here.
(Less the vines and outer sawtooth border.)

My sister and I are making this quilt for my sister inlaw who has

breast cancer.   I'll be mailing my blocks off to her this week.

She will sew the top together and send it off to the quilter.

I'm excited to see how it turns out, the quilter is an amazing

artist so we'll see if she adds any extra touches to the quilting.

Finished quilt size is 56-1/2" X 72-1/2"
35 Pinwheel blocks 8" X 8"

You know those ooh's and aah's you make when you see everyone

else's fabric purchases?  Well I was excited to receive some of my

own acquisitions in the mail last week.  Don't you just love those

cute spools, pins and buttons?

These fabrics are appropriately named Sew Happy, by Monaluna.

I plan to make some gifts with these prints.  

Then there's this uber retro blenders fabric, Metro Cafe

by Robert Kaufman.  I couldn't resist this adorable print and

it seems to be disappearing fast, so jump on it quickly if

you are interested in purchasing this one.  I checked three

online stores before I found this one in stock and bought

the last yard.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a creative week!
