#LightTheWorld

It's December!!!!   Wow, how did that happen so fast ;)  Just like last year, I am excited to once again participate in the #LIGHTtheWORLD campaign,  and experience the joy of this Christmas season by focusing on sharing the light of Christ and Christmas each day leading up to December 25th.      


         

If you would like to participate in this event as well, You can watch the informational #LIGHTtheWORLD video above, 
go here to see more videos and details, and  print off a "In 25 Ways over 25 Days" Advent Calendar that provides suggestions each day on how you can help to #LIGHTtheWORLD this Christmas season.  It just warms my heart to think of people of all faiths,  from all over the world,  coming together to make our world better.  

Wishing you Joy and Peace this Holiday Season!!!

Chuckles Quilt

Well, my sweet little nephew Carson, decided to give his parents something to be especially grateful for on Thanksgiving by arriving  3 weeks early on that morning ;)   He is such a cutie, just an adorable little peanut!!!   And now, I get to share his quilt!!  You might remember the quilt top from here, funny how fast time flies :)     But here it is in all of it's finished goodness, the Chuckles Quilt!!!


This is a pattern that Elizabeth Hartman did exclusively for the August Sew Sampler box, and I fell in love with the pattern and her Reef fabric right away and knew that I wanted to make it up for my little nephew ;)  How cute are those adorable little fishes!!!


And I just love the way the fish are offset.  I tend to always design in symmetrical, I think it is the accountant part of my brain, but I just love the way these fish look to be swimming in a school :) 


And since they needed to be swimming, I decided to quilt them some waves!!!  I just did some free motion continuous arches and repeated row after row.  I didn't worry to much where there points came up as I wanted it to feel pretty organic, and I just love the way it turned out.   I used Fantastico Dapper, a blue/black/grey variegated thread, and just love the little bit of shimmer it gives the quilting.  


And that is my finished Chuckles quilt.  And now it is hanging on Carson's wall above his crib, waiting for him to get a wee bit older so he can see those cute little fish swimming away :)   I just love making baby quilts!!!  They are so fun to make and even more fun to give to sweet little angels!!! 


Makes me want to go start another one :) 

I hope you have a very Happy Quilting Weekend!!!

Linking up this finish to Amanda's, Sarah's, and Myra's ;)

Busy Bee Blocks

It's November 30th and I am excited to say that my November Bee Blocks are going in the mail ;)  Whew, just finished those in the nick of time!!!  This month Shannon asked us to make some Simple Stars in blues and green's for her son's beds.


I just love making Star Blocks and these two blocks went together super quick ;)  Even if I messed up the first time around because I tried to make my star points with the wrong size square.  Gotta love it when you get going a little to fast ;)    Luckily, I had some of the same Grunge in my stash, and an endless supply of blue and green scraps!!!


And somehow, I never posted September's bee block but I did indeed make it on time ;)  Calli had us make some adorable Bear Claws!!  These are such a classic block and I just loved making it in these adorable 30's fabrics.


And did you notice that I skipped October?  We'll that just happened to be my month in the bee!!!   I asked my bee mates to make a True North block this time around.  I just love this block design but have wanted to do it in non Christmas fabrics for a while.  


So I sent the amazing gals in my group prints from Raindrop by Rashida Coleman-Hale for Cotton + Steel.   And a few blocks have returned and can I just say, they are amazing!!!  I can't wait for all of the blocks to come back so I can put this one together.  It is going to be so fun ;) 


I will be sure to share more on this one as the blocks come back home ;)

Hope you are having a Happy Quilting Day!!!
