A Bit of Williamsburg, VA

 

My sister and I did a quick trip to Williamsburg, VA.

She reserved a two bedroom suite at Ford's Colony using

her Marriott timeshare points.

I loved the mirrors and the big jacuzzi tub.

The tub was a real treat and each evening

I did a relaxing soak.

Checking e-mails, drinking coffee and watching golfers.

In Colonial Williamsburg there is a nice shopping area at the

beginning of Duke of Gloucester Street.  Photo's are from one shop 

my sister and I loved going through.  

One large room was filled with MacKenzie-Childs.

Look at the size of that Easter egg!

The rubber chicken bag which was a top seller in this store!

Pics from our walk down into the historic

area of Duke of Gloucester Street.

It was a fun trip but seriously I don't need to go back at

least to the historical area of Williamsburg.

Merry Woof-mas

 

This collection arrived the day before I left for vacation.

Next is "The Gift of Light"

 

I made a few simple sample blocks from a pattern

I found on the guild's free table.  Will post more later.

Final Projects with Home Is Where the Dog Is II

 

Sharing a few of the pictures I turned in to Jaftex to use

on Social Media.

While the tops are done I will quilt and bind after vacation.

I love this little doggie so I'm keeping him.

Made with this line: 3 quilts, 5 pillowcases,

1 soft book and 1 stuffed weiner dog.

Home is Where the Dog is II

This is the second collection of Home is Where the Dog is.

I worked on the first sometime last year.  The cool thing

is that the designer of this line is the same designer of the

tan and dark brown star blender fabric.  

Two blocks across by 3 down.  The original pattern calls for

3 blocks across and 4 blocks down.

This soft book has small handles and a little 

bone name tag.

The panel is this collection is still a work in progress.

The blocks on the right are made using what I

cut off the lower part of the heart block.

This is a simple and large block to make which works of me!

 

Spooky Aura

 

My work with Spooky Aura is done.  I had fun

creating Halloween things all geared for kids.

There are 10 candy sacks and 4 cards.

The handles are Tula Pink's new line of webbing that

Scott tossed in one of my return boxes a few months ago.

The quilt still needs to be quilted and the side blocks

were made using the Crazy Scrap 6" templates.

Last minute I whipped up this little puppy dog.

I actually woke up with the card idea in my head.  The fronts

are made from the leftover fabric using the Crazy Scrap

6" templates by Karen Montgomery.

Here you can see the side blocks in detail.

I hate to say it but Halloween will be here soon!
