For all the tea lovers out there, myself included, here’s a great Teacup Mini Quilt pattern that a fellow Quilting Blogger created.

I’ve always wanted to start my own tea cup collection, this quilt would be a lot less expensive and not nearly as fragile!

Here’s a free pattern from Moda, Funky Monkey, that’s sure to put a smile on anyone’s face and result in lots of giggles. Or, maybe that’s just me.

Isn’t this wall hanging just perfect for Spring/Summer? The Mini Butterflies quilt is pieced and appliqued.

Here are a couple of wall hangings that are in my living room/sewing area. They are pre-printed fabric, which I quilted (not easy to see). In the centre of the panel, I did my first free motion meandering that wasn’t on a piece of scrap. It turned out fine, but I need lots of practice.

Here’s a great pattern, Grape Arbor. It was originally presented as a mystery quilt. The finished quilt will measure approximately 56″ square. The instructions are very well written.

I just adore this Bow Tie Cats pattern designed by Mary Graham. You’re pretty much on your own to figure out how to put it together, as the instructions aren’t the best. All the templates are included along with a layout of where they go in the design.

Here’s a lovely free pattern for a lap quilt to make for Fall, Colorful Leaves. Imagine it done with wonderful rich Fall colours… it would be simply gorgeous.

A free pattern from McCall’s Quilting, Sew Much To Do is a sewing-themed wall hanging, complete with an appliquéd pincushion and rotary cutter. Embellish the button jar with your favorite buttons.

A free pattern from the book The Cat’s Meow:10th Anniversary Edition, Mom Cats. These maternal cats are sewn from dainty flower prints and have lace doilies. Too cute.

Several years ago I participated in a Christmas paper-piecing exchange. Each person was responsible for completing 12 blocks, 11 of which were then sent to a coordinator, who in turn sent you back 11 blocks that others completed. I assembled the blocks into this small wall hanging. My block is the Christmas ornament, third row down in the middle.

I hope to do more exhanges like this as they are so much fun. If you know of any that will accept Canadian participants, please let me know.

I started this quilt several years ago, but wasn’t happy with the results, so I put it away, out of sight. In the meantime, I purchased a new sewing machine, Janome, to replace my Singer that would eat my fabric, and make nothing but a mess. I dug this project out last summer and after several hours, finished it. It’s certainly not perfect, but I love it.

It hangs in my living room above the TV area and makes me smile every time I look at it, because while it took me several years, I finally finished it!

I made this appliqued wall hanging with beading for my niece’s first birthday.

I made this banner several years ago using 1″ squares, which finished at just under 0.5″ each.

A rather unusual wall hanging I made for myself. I’m not sure what I was going for, but I don’t think the end result was what I had in mind originally. hehe Oh well, it used up the extra fabric left over from making my bed quilt.

A pre-printed wall hanging I made. One of the few pieces I’ve hand quilted. It’s not really my thing, but who knows, maybe I’ll try it again one day.
