.brenna beth.

Little Miss Brenna Beth Wieseler was born on February 7th – isn’t she precious?!

The weekend before she was born, her momma and I along with 30 of our closest friends were at the Craft Retreat! I pieced this quilt on Friday night at the retreat, right under Amy’s nose. She had no idea that it was for the baby!

I finally got it quilted and bound about a month later…just in time for my first time meeting Brenna!

This fabric is a favorite of Amy’s and mine – such cute little farm animals and red polka dots. Who doesn’t love red polka dots?!

.tea party.

I love plus signs and making plus sign quilts, so this was a no brainer! It was A. LOT. of work though – lots of little pieces and pressing. I pieced it at Priest Lake and luckily, my Grandma helped with the pressing.

I took it to Susan to quilt and she did great big aqua flowers in each square along with my favorite way to quilt the borders. It’s so pretty!

My favorite part of this one is the red hounds tooth backing!

.a new favorite.

I am loving this quilt…well, these quilts!

I just can’t decide if I like it better in aqua or pink!

(now do you see how creative my blog titles are?!)

.dottie and ruby.

This one has been done for a while, but never made it’s way to the blog.

I’m not the greatest at snowball blocks, so this was certainly a good way to practice!

Another one with fabirc by Bonnie & Camille…I just can’t get enough of it! Everything else looks boring in comparison!

.2012 christmas quilt.

I love the Christmas Quilt I made for 2012. I pieced it at Priest Lake this summer..and let me tell you, it wasn’t easy! It’s pieced on the diagonal rather than in vertically, so it had it’s share of time outs along the way.

I took it to Susan, the master long arm quilter, and although you can’t see it real well in these pictures, she quilted holly & berries in the borders and swirls all over the rest of the quilt.

It’s sitting on the back of our chair right now and I love looking over at it!

.quilts & table runners overload!.

Brace yourselves…this is a long one! I used every spare second I have had since about October to work on quilts & table runners for the holiday bazaar I participated in last week. Now you know why my blog has been seriously neglected!
