Owls everywhere!

I am really into owls right now. I made these fabric postcards for an exchange I signed up for late in the summer before school and musical rehearsals got into full swing and I was still in the blissful forgetfulness of what my life is like in the fall!! Fortunately, they were pretty easy to make.  

I enjoy applique and have a pattern program from Sue Spargo, which is where these little darlings came from. I enjoy her pictorial style. She also has a great blog, full of fun pics!

Fun little house swap.

I made these little blocks for a swap I am participating in. I love working with those little owls.



I'm not gonna lie....they look like outhouses!! :)

Every Neighborhood needs a Park

For our Quilting Journey Round Robin Bee, Cindy wanted a "neighborhood" quilt. These blocks, all together, are really fun! I wanted to do something unique and fun, so decided to give her a park.

This applique block was a blast to make!!! Here it is with Cindy's starter block.

The bird is my favorite!!!

I love how these flowers turned out, too. Modern fabrics are so amazing!!!!

Isn't this little neighborhood adorable????

Something Found

Remember this blog where I talked about the great gift that came from Susan Brown just because her sister-in-law, Linda, happens to be a dear friend?

Well, today I found Susan's website. Go to the notions section and check it out. It looks fun. And I am not kidding. I love this tool. It is a 'no-fail' help for joining those ends on your binding.

And yeah, if you like good blog reads, go visit my dear friend Linda at Music From My Heart.

Don't you just love friends?

For Elizabeth of our QJRR Bee

Not trying to be funny, but these starlings are darling!! I love these little birds! :)

Here is my block with Elizabeth's...

...and her complete little flock so far.

Rocket Dog

This little wall hanging was made for Deacon's 1st birthday. It was really fun. My sister-in-law was visiting from Oregon when I purchased the fabrics. We had such a good time. I used the pattern from this web site. {Couldn't 'get' the machine quilting. Need to take a class}. Now, my dear Mr. Deacon has Grammy V's love looking over him while he sleeps! Ahhh....does a heart good!

Friends Here, Friends There, Friends Everywhere!

I love people! They are the best thing going. And it is so nice to know that they live everywhere...not just in my little corner of the world.

First, please take a minute and go visit a new friend, Joan at Caliquilter, and say "hi". She has a pretty sweet giveaway happening, too, if you like fabric. It is $50 that you can spend wherever you like. :)

And let me tell you, you can win a giveaway!! Look what I received from dear mamacjt!!! If you would like to visit her blog, it is colorful and yummy!!! Great eye-candy! Thanks, Carol!!!

Then I received this in the mail...just cause some of our best friends in the world are her family and shared my blog with her. This little baby takes away all my binder anxiety...you know...getting those ends to match up!!!!!!!! Get yourself one here!

QJRR block for Cindy N, originally uploaded by myfullcolorlife - Vickie.

Our really fun flickr bee, A Quilting Journey Round Robin Bee, has sent me a darling 'neighborhood'. I thought it needed some nature, so here is my contribution for Cindy N. It is applique and mostly Anna Maria Horner fabric, though the tree top is from Amy Schimler's Animal Party, the tree trunk is Laura Gunn's Lantern Bloom and the top grass line is Heather Bailey's Hop Dot. Now I just need to finish the outline stitching...It is gonna be hard to send this one away!!!!

Sew Bee It block for KT

I wasn't going to do these last night, but I finished my Quilting Journey Round Robin Bee block (which I will blog about soon) and I was having so much fun sewing. I thought I would just start, but once I did, I couldn't stop. Since they were for August, it is a good thing I did!! :)

Hexagon Quilt Along

Yup. I'm back! And I love how this quilt top turned out. I followed Julie's initial directions over at her Hexagon Quilt Along. Ashley picked out the fabric. Wish you could see it in person. The fabrics are really gorgeous! It is not quite big enough, so I am going to trim those two sides so they are straight and add a border.
