I had to hide this quilt



From my boys. It is the perfect boy quilt, regardless of age I think! Anne did a fabulous job creating this queen-size quilt for her grandson.

And Chai really liked it too.



Quilted with Flames.

quilt monday

What a day! Back to school after 2 weeks of laze and relaxation. Back to family/work after a weekend away(more on that later this week). Busy doing music lessons, grocery shopping, laundry and totally forgot about today's blog post. Opps!



I've finally finished the rest of my doll quilties. These are *official* doll quilties; that is just what I'm calling these. But they are for dolls lol.











Some are meandered; some have a loopy stipple. Which is now my new addiction. LOVE looping stippling!



Now to get the last two bindings finished, some labels slapped on them and off into the mail to some special little girls.

happy spring

Some of my favorite *spring things*.





snack saturday


Quick Fix Cheesecake Brownies

Ingredients
1 Package 900-g brownie mix
1 Package 250-g cream cheese, room temperature
1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg yolk

Prepare brownie batter as directed on package. With an electric mixer, beat remaining ingredients in a small bowl until smooth and spreadable.
In a greased 9" x 12" ovenproof dish, pour in half the brownie batter. Drop half the cream-cheese mixture by spoonfulls over the brownie batter and spread. Pour in remaining batter and dot top with remaining cream-cheese mixture.
With a knife, gently stir batter and cream-cheese mixture together to create a marbled effect. Bake as directed on package.

finished!

I started this Thangles quilt in January 2008. When I first bought this quilt, I had no idea what I was going to do with it. I am not a big fan of pastels and yet this came home with me lol. 10 days ago, I had the first 9 blocks completed. I finished the remaining 3 and sewed the top together with all the sashings. And it was tiny. Teeny tiny tiny. Smaller than a baby quilt tiny. So I made 8 more blocks.



I was able to buy more of the fabric from the blocks for borders and I started cutting and adding. I did something I don't like to do; added more borders to make the quilt top bigger. But I think it works.

I ended up cutting the side borders narrower than the top and bottom to get it close to twin size. I absolutely love how it turned out.



I do have a recipient in mind but can't say too much because it will give it away.

are you ready?

Quilt show season is just around the corner and Hamels has been keeping me busy with quilts for the shows.
