Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day

So I know I just finished a giveaway but how was I supposed to know that Sew, Mama, Sew! was going to have another one of their spectacular giveaway day's??  I love when Sew, Mama, Sew! does this.  It is a week of super fun surfing, finding new blogs, and maybe, just maybe, winning something :)  So if you haven't yet, head on over and sign up to have your own giveaway :)  Things start Monday so check back to see what I will be giving :)  Want a hint - Christmas.

Quilting Bee

I am so super excited to say  that I was invited to be in a Bee!!!  Oh my goodness, oh my goodness.  I will be sewing with some super amazing and talented women.  The group is called the VIBees.  I have to say, it makes me feel pretty important to be among these women.  So starting in January, I will be learning new techniques, sewing with all sorts of fun fabrics, and showing off the new creations here :)  I can't wait!!!!

Christmas Project #3 - Check

I finally made some Mug Rugs!!  I have been wanting to make these for some time, but I was planning on using the scraps from my advent calendar, so I had to finish that first to get the scraps :)  I made these pretty simple.  My scraps were pretty limited, and when I started playing around with different design ideas I just kept coming back to something and straight-forward.  They went together pretty fast and they will make wonderful little gifts for a few special ladies around here :)

What a cute little Trio :)

I always love a scrappy binding :)

So I know the snowmen mugs don't really match the mug rug, but I just couldn't pass up those adorable mugs.

So as you can see, I am pretty hooked on quilting swirls.

Christmas Project #2 - Check

I made this advent calendar for my sister.  While making it, I remembered why I love quilting so much :)  Creating and attaching the pockets was a little finicky, and I am learning more and more, that while I will do that kind of sewing, it isn't my favorite :)   With that said,  I was really happy with the little pockets when they were done and I think my niece will really enjoy it.

I decided to quilt it the same way I had quilted Christmas Project #1. I really like the way it makes the pictures pop :)  I went with a pretty small swirl and just love the way it turned out.

This picture is horrible as far as lighting but I think it makes it a little easier to see the quilting as it stands out a bit more :)
