March 2012 Recap - One Year Later

It's been a year since I blogged!  BANANAS! 

Yes, that's my new favorite word!  ha. 

Shall we recap?  Since last March....

I invested in Betty... my hipster bike!

Betty and Dixie and I ride all around our neighborhood having a blast!

Hot, Cool, Sunny, Cloudy... Dixie loves to crouch down when a cool breeze comes by and then sit up tall, streching her neck out in the hot wind - in her hair!  ha ha.

 

 

St.Patrick's Day... like my fav holiday...

Bryn and Chelsea and I ran the "Kiss me I'm Irish run"

which was lacking in the kissing dept...

  

 

Then my healthiest BFF Cara made us green smoothies!  mmm

And finally, One of my fav bands, Flogging Molly was playing at the Tempe Town Lake

and Melanie was SUCH a good sport! 

  

I love me some Irish music and Dancing! 

Good Friends, Good Times!

 

 

 

 



Ziggy Zaggy

The Zig Zag Quilt is Doooonnnneee!!! 

I looooove this one!

Love the oranges!

it's so Springy and delicious!

Love the wild prints

Love the quilting!

Love the bright border Kathy talked me into :)

This quilt is SO easy to make!

(And of COURSE Dixie has to sit on EVERY quilt, EVERY thing I'm making) 

puppy love <3

I washed this one to get more dimension.  It's good!

Baby Brielle!

Light Switches?  

I expanded this pattern to make it crib size.

Patty had found sheets and drapes in these colors but no quilt... 

So, we had to matchy!  

It matches Perfect!

Oh Dixie, you loved on this quilt b/c you knew Brielle has 2 Yorkie Brothers, huh?!

So Patty said she liked the Vintage look, aged pinks and tans.  

It's not what I expected from her but... 

I really like how it came together!  

I found some Civil War prints at Quilters Oasis and bought 20 prints! 

This is one of my fav blocks, the tan w/ little buds.  

The quilting is daisies in white which turned out super cute and girly!!

(thanks Mom, she got it quilted in ONE week, unheard of!)

Olivia said they look like Light Switches, which is funny cause they really kinda do!  

Jagged Hearts

I love hearts and Valentines - Said it before - Say it again!

So I made this schweeet heart quilt.  

The pattern is by Buggy Barn

I think each block has 18 pieces!!  

Paper piecing, my 2nd to date but FUN!  

I used scrap fabric from lovey pillowcases I've made over the year.  

The quilting is AWESOME!  

and, the back is pretty cool!  

(and huge!)

Pillow Talk

I've been on a pillow kick!  They're fairly easy, (except the heart one, ha) and it's a fun way to display fab fabrics!  Here's my #2... 

My Mom made me a cute skirt out of this and, all my friends went wild!  The Bird Skirt as it's affectionately called!  So, she made one for Cara.... and then Glenda... (who could quite possibly be seen wearing theirs together!)  ha.  

But I loved the crowned BIRD so much... that I had to make a pillow out of the scraps!  

It was supposed to go on my bed, but I love it so much it's on the couch!
