QuiltNut Creations

Hamels. Another year has come(and almost gone!) of longarming some of their store samples; I truly love getting to see some of the new kits and projects they get ready. It's almost like Christmas!

Here are the last few quilts of this year from them.

Snow Days quilted with Flirtatious.

Chicks and Hens quilted with Swirl.

Chilli Charmers; I had so much fun custom quilting this one.

Tea in the Garden quilted with a meander. This one is getting prairie points added to the borders; can't wait to see it once it is finished.

Lastly, an American Jane Punctuation ABC's Quilt quilted with Raindrop.

Can't wait for next years goodies!

My signature quilt(hosted by Rachel at PSIQuilt)

It hangs on the door in my sewing room, I love how the white sets off all the fun bright colors.

I put the blocks together in X's and 0's.

I actually had this put together for a few months. I had hurried when I sewed the blocks together and all the signatures were every which way. I was going to leave it but my OCD broke through and I pulled it apart and fixed the blocks. I am glad I did :)

the elves have been busy

Finishing up a few odds and ends this weekend.

These are ready for the mail in the morning.

And if I have enough time today, I might get to play with some of this.
