Finished Projects


I finally finished some of the projects that I have been wanting to get done yeah! Of course there are always more but I do enjoy the work as much as the finished project. The top picture is of my "seasonally correct" quilt blocks. Basically, what I do is put a new set of quilt blocks in the frames for every season. I have already done summer, fall and Christmas. I could really get carried away and do them for each holiday but so far I have tried to keep it simple. The one season that is the most difficult to find fabric for is winter. They have a TON of Christmas fabrics but just winter are a little harder to come by. I was out looking for winter fabric yet again and at ever store they have tons of really cute Valentines Day fabric. At first I resisted because I wanted winter, not just one holiday. Well, as you can see I finally gave in. After all I have Christmas blocks so I only need winter for January and February so why not do Valentines Day :)
The second picture is a project I have been wanting to do for quite a while. Our kitchen window blind do not fit perfectly so there is a little gap. Keep in mind it is a small gap and you could really only see through it if you are being kinda creepy, hanging out right next to our window and looking in (it also needs to be dark outside and light inside unless you press you face right up to the window). Well the other day I found a beer can sitting in an upright position right next to our kitchen window. It appears as though someone was sitting right outside enjoying there beer. Well, it kinda worried me so that motivated me to get it done. Now that it is done I love the splash of red that it brought into my kitchen.
