It Must be an Addiction...

Because I honestly do not know what it is about this pattern, but I can't stop making these! I really do love them. I don't know why, but I just do. That is the only answer I have. So until I get sick of them, I am going to continue to make dishcloths out of this pattern. I have used up most of my cotton yarn stash (which was quite big thanks to a few donations) to make these. I figure if I can use of the remaining five skeins that I have, that gives me a great excuse to go buy more! Which really means, a great excuse to keep making these!

Yo-Yo's

My mom has been making yo-yo's to make a quilt for as long as I can remember. I can't tell you how much patience it takes to make a quilt out of little tiny circles of fabric. Way more patience that I have. But I still think they are super cute. So I asked my mom if she would make a few for me. I had this brilliant idea to make them into hair clips. I know, super cute right? Well, I think so. And super easy, especially since I didn't make the yo-yo's.
Thanks mom! They turned out super cute and I love them!

"Nest" Quilt

My sister-in-law, Karianne, just got married this past weekend. (see all of the wedding photos I took at her wedding here) And of course, I couldn't help but make her a quilt for her wedding present. When I first saw the moda line Nest, I fell in love. I absolutely love this fabric! I had a couple of charm packs that I decided to make into a charm square quilt (inspiration taken from Don't Call Me Becky). What a great way to show off all of these lovely fabrics.I used three inch sashings to set off each charm square. I did a simple stippling for the quilting, mostly because I was short on time, and partially because I just like it.The backing was done in the paisley print... my favorite of the line. For the binding I used the teal green. And thanks to my mom, the binding got done in time for the wedding. The final quilt measured approximatley 70X80. A perfect snuggle quilt. Overall, I absolutely love love love this quilt. I know I say that about every single one I make but I love this quilt so much, I went and bought more of this fabric so that I can make one for me.

PS. How adorable is my husband!? He was nice enough to help me get a few photos of the quilt before we gave it away.
