Finished Baby Memory Quilt - OC Fair Winner!

Lots of great stuff...
1st of all a finish!

This quilt was unusual, Mia, my daughters friend gave me theses baby clothe over 4 years ago. 

It was having a real design wall that inspired me to get a start on it.

It turned out damn cute, even if I have to say it myself.

Love the stuffed feet, the real clothe line with appliquéd birds on one, the upside down nighty, the cute sayings like..." My Uncle Is Single", "Captain Adorable" and "I Can't Be Calm, I'm A Toddler"

I am sew happy with it.

AND... 

I won 2 ribbons at the County Fair!

My "In The Garden" quilt entered under my husbands name won a 2nd Place.

The "9 Degree Evolution of a Quilters Mind" quilt wasn't displayed very well but it won a 1st Place in the Original Design category.

My friend Jamie won for her Buggy Barn "If Pigs Could Fly" quilt

And my friend Ann won 2nd Place for the blue, green and purple batik star quilt.

Hea you two.

QuiltCon Charity Quilt

I volunteered to purchase the fabric for next years quilt because I was going to the M&L sale. And then I put together the kits for the guild and then I put together the tutorial. I think I am the assumed "chairperson". So much for volunteering.... ugh.

Here is our inspiration:

The theme this year is "Small Piecing" You can see the color palette on the board (from the OCMQG meeting below. Then on the right below a pieced block of the quilt which will be cut up to make  either a tree trunk or branchs. The participating members will all contribute sections like this. There is no right or wrong way to piece this and all in all I think it is going to be a really cool modern quilt....we'll see. I'll keep you up to date on its' progress.

Kits ready to go.

And what am I working on today....

In cleaning  and moving my sewing room, yesterday I found a little twister ruler I lost years ago. I have pulled out the unfinished project I was working on when I lost the ruler and I am going to finish it now. 

Here it is:

1.5" Little Twister Ruler

On the top is the first piecing, then you cut it up with the little  ruler,
and sew it back again. The project reduces form 22 1/2 " to 11".
