 Inspired by this quilt on Amanda Jean's blog......http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/2009/09/ticker-tape.html    It was such a fun,playtime project!!! Thank you for this great idea! This is such a fun way of using those itty bitty pieces that you just hate to throw away....

I just LOVE all the great ideas that you can find in Blogland!!!

I did an all over panto called square dance by Anne Bright...then added all these fun scraps raw edge...fun, fun,fun!!!

love the stripe binding

I got the 2 other baby quilts done as well...just have to finish up the bindings....Happy Monday to all.... Pam

My Friday fun....

Feeling creative....itching to have some fun and with the perfect excuse of  a few new babies at my husband's work I decided to play around for a bit....I love making baby quilts...they are small and it is a perfect time to play with new inspirations!!

inspired by a Denyse Schmidt pattern....so simple and perfect for a sweet baby girl...I used Lakehouse letters... except the S cuz I was fresh out so I appliqued that one on

 

good old simple square in a square....never get tired of this

some scrappy fun....I am machine quilting first with a Anne Bright square dance panto....then adding a bit of raw edge applique and a few whimsical words...

Hope you are having a good Friday...I am back to my sewing room to finish these fast and fun projects.... Pam

Back in the Fall I posted about Fig Tree Jelly Rose Love....

I am so happy to say that this sweet quilt that I started about 5 years ago, that I wouldn't have finished without my sister's piecing,  has all 72 leaves appliqued , is machine quilted and bound!!! It is so very, very pretty.....

quilted with Patricia Ritter's Daffodil panto

so sweet and old fashioned....

pieced the back with maywood flannel and a wee strip of fig tree whimsy words....

this will be a favorite cuddle quilt in our living room....

Happy Tuesday everyone....Pam       PS....Thank you Susan!!!!
