Happy Fathers day Dad!!!!!


I know my dad reads my blog so first of all, I just want to say "Happy faathers day dad, I love you and I am so glad that you are in my life! I couldnt have picked any one better!!!!xoxox

Now on to my project for today...I have been working on the pink kitty quilt and it is really cute. I think Liv is going to love it..I am trying to use different patterns of pink and black which is right up my alley, so it is fun to make...

Then tonight I started another art quilt called Under the Stars.....I saw something similar in a magazine and thought, "I could never do that." and just started playing to see if I could...It actually isn't half bad. the hands are very sad, but when I do them with the sewing machine I think I can fix them . Every time I draw hands, they look like crab claws....I didn't have any batting and I wanted to start quilting it so I pulled stuffing from a bag and started putting it in between the front and a back...it is very puffy so it is going to take some extreme quilting but I kind of like the puffiness too...since she is sleeping it is like she is on a mattress of sunflowers....I am going to put red buttons all over the bottom and quilt the sunflower with little tiny circles...there are so many things I want to do! I lie in bed at night and think about what I could be making....I really need to be finishing big quilts that I have started, but I get sidetracked! Although I am not so bad as some people I know...I am sitting on five quilts right now...and they really just need a border and then to be quilted. I have a quilting machine so I have no excuse other than I like to make the instant gratification projects too....
