Halloween Is Here!

Wow, where has the time gone for 2014.  It is already Halloween and soon Thanksgiving and Christmas.  I better hurry and get my gifts created.

I am finishing up a quilt for my grandson's birthday, which is Halloween.  It is a design that was on the Missouri Star Quilt companies Youtube.  Here is the link for it:

As I mentioned earlier with the Eleanor Burns's Quick Trip quilt top, I found the youtube tutorial on it too for you to look at:

I hope these links are helpful for you.

Baby Quilt

Here is one of the quilts that I have been working on.  This is Eleanor Burn's Quick Trip quilt design.  It was fast to put together.  I think I only spent 8 hours from cutting to finishing with the binding.  I worked on it in a two day 4 hour sections.  I quilted it on the same sewing machine I pieced it on.  A Singer 7462.

More Info:  This quilt uses 6 fat quarters and about 1/2 yard of two different fabrics for the outer boarders.  Finished size was approximately 45 inches by 50 inches.

This is the second Quick Trip Baby Quilt I have done.  I highly recommend this design if you need a quick baby gift.

Quilting!

Hi Everyone,

I have been busy quilting up a storm.  So I have decided to keep the blog going even tho the fabric business has closed it's doors.   I will be putting up patterns, quilts and anything else I have been working on for all to see.

They are always updating these, so save the link.

I have been thinking about taking some of my flower pictures and converting them into quilts.  Should be fun to see how they turn out.  I thought these might be interesting....

Closing Needles-N-Quilts, LLC.

It is with great sadness that I must inform you that Needles-N-Quilts, LLC. is shutting it doors at this time.  If the economy changes for the better, then it might have a chance to open it's doors again.  Until then, I hope you enjoyed the fabrics, patterns and information that was shared about the quilting, sewing and the crafting world.  I will leave you with these final images..... and urls.....

Happy Sewing, Quilting and Crafting!
