My first Quilt Show and a WIP
0Last Thursday I went to the Orange County Quilt, Craft & Sewing Festival at the Orange County Fairgrounds with my mom. We had an awesome time! I found a couple of doilies for doily quilt I want to make. There was SO MUCH fabric I wanted to buy, too! But I figured I have enough in my stash, so I was able to hold myself back from buying any. Mostly I was inspired by all of the amazing quilts there. I would have loved to take pictures of them, but pictures were restricted.
Here is a block from the current quilt I’m working on! They’re all applique hearts. I have all the blocks done, I just need to do the borders and the backing and I can start quilting! This is a quick one.
New Fabric! (Stash #5)
1Something came in the mail yesterday…
My fabric! I won a giveaway over at Stitched in Color for this GORGEOUS set of Michael Miller fabrics from Marmalade Fabrics!
I received 1/2 a yard of each fabric. I can hardly wait to use them on something!! In fact, I’m going to save these to use on a quilt for MYSELF! Can you believe of the 10+ quilts I’ve made, I haven’t made any for myself yet?? (I can’t believe it’s been so many, I only started this hobby less than two years ago!)
Snips N Snails Quilt: Done!
6This is my latest completed quilt, Snips N Snails, for my cousin’s new baby! It is 45.5″x38″.
I quilted in various ways and with different colored threads, depending on the color of the fabrics. It took a bit longer but I’m happy with the end result!
I’m absolutely in LOVE with the binding, too. Striped bindings are so much fun. Click on the pictures below to see more.

I hope Mama and baby love it. I’ve already started my next quilt!
I’m sharing this over at QuiltStory for Fabric Tuesday and JAQS Studio!
