Over the Thanksgiving break, I attached myself to my quilt machine and didn’t let go.  Follow the blog over the week and you will see what I mean as I reveal all my finished projects. 

My first finish was my Schnibble…

The gals from A Quilting Life and  Pink Pincushion put together a group that is making a Schnibbles quilt pattern from Miss Rosies Quilt Pattern Company each month.  The November Schnibble was Picnic.  I made mine from two charm packs from the Pashmina Moda Fabric line.  I haven’t seen the fabric anywhere except for Missouri Star Quilt Company.  I LOVE the fabric…obviously it matches my walls perfectly.  I was new to Schnibble making and had a great time with it and plan to make the December one too…to see the parade of Schnibbles, check out A Quilting Life and  Pink Pincushion on December 1st.  The new Schnibble for December will be revealed then too.

Check out Pink Pincushion‘s giveaway….who can resist anything with French General…

Over the weekend, I was sewing like crazy…and I accomplished a lot…. but did I finish much?….NO.
I did however find a baby sized quilt top that I put together a couple years ago with leftovers from my son’s graduation quilt.  It’s been sitting there on the self all this time  just waiting to be quilted, but now here it is all finished and ready to be given away.

I had completely forgotten about it until I saw this blog entry from over at Fat Cat Quilts announcing a new Snow Ball Quilt Along.  It shows the quilt that I made for my son’s graduation….isn’t it beautiful.  That was one of the fastest quilts I have ever put together.  My daughter Kayla was home from college so she spent the day ironing for me and I just sewed.  We got the top together in about a day and half!  I had a great time with Kayla AND I got a quilt top finished.  His quilt was the first real quilt I quilted with my Grand Quilter.  Oh, have ever learned a lot about the machine since then!  I absolutely love it now…then, I was ready to give it away.

I have been working on Quiltmaker’s (and Bonnie Hunter’s) Christmas Lights Quilt over the last few months.  It was a mystery quilt which made it lots of fun.  Gracie is giving you a sneak peak of mine…..Hopefully I will get it on the frame tonight and get it quilted. 

You can learn more about this quilt at Quiltmaker and you can see other finished Christmas Lights quilts at Flickr.
