A Mixed Finish it Up Friday

I have a couple of finishes to share today.  Some good news, and some bad.  I'll start with the bad.  My Dad passed away early this morning.  He had been suffering with Alzheimer's Disease for many years. He had my quilt with him when he passed away.  (See my previous post here.)   It is a relief that he is no longer suffering.  It is so sad to know that he is no longer here.  Words cannot express my feelings.

The good news is that Camelot Fabrics featured my lil' monster quilt today, (yes, today) on their website.  Here is the link:  Camelot Fabrics Blog.

My finishes for this Friday:

 The one on the left is for Jessica and will hopefully help her work on her "Hex on the Beach" TP quilt. :p Mine is the one on the right.  I have already used it when sitting at the couch binding the below.  The pattern is Sit N Stitch.  I used my binder foot/tool with these and after making mine, lined Jessica's with SF 101 which adds some heft to it.  The fabric is from Timeless Treasures and I found it at here at Hawthorne Threads.

 Raffle quilt for the 2014 Fur Ball!  I used Basic Grey's "Max & Whiskers" fabric line for this quilt.  The pattern is HST's with sashing and cornerstones.   The quilting is called puppy paws.  I got the charms from #thegreatfabricdestash.  The finished size is approximately 60" x 70".

Also for raffle are these items.  A runner, two hot pads and two dish towels.  The embroidery on the dish towels are from Urban Threads.  I made these items for last year's raffle and was asked specifically to make similar ones again for this year.  So I did using a different fabric line.  Plus, I made the quilt to raffle as well.  I hope it helps to raise a lot of donations!

Linking up now to Crazy Mom Quilts - Amanda Jean for Finish it Up Friday.

TGIFF - A Lil Monster Quilt!

It's a Friday of sorts Saturday finish!  The quilting was finished last night with the binding being hand sewn on this morning.

A coworker asked me a couple of weeks ago to please make a quilt for her niece.  She needed it for the shower today.  She apologized for the short notice, but I assured her I would get it done.  Can you say, "just barely?"  I totally do this to myself.  Do you ever say "yes" when the word really needs to be "no"?  Thought so.  But I digress...

Her niece has done the baby boy's room in a cute lil monster theme.  I searched on the internet and found these adorable fabrics (perfect!) on etsy.  The fabric line is Monster Mash by Heather Rosas for Camelot Fabrics.  There were nine different fabrics, so I went with a scrappy nine patch layout. Plus, a scrappy nine patch goes together pretty fast.

Isn't that it adorable?!?  I love how the monsters are peeking out behind the chairs, lamps, TV and the door.  Great colors for a little baby boy's room.

The batting is Quilter's Dream 100% cotton and it is quilted with an E2E called Maze by Wasatch Quilting.  I used 100% cotton, 40 wt. King Tut thread in Karnak color.  The size is 39" x 46".
