Jelly Roll Race II quilt

My bestie loves purple and when I saw the luminscence fabric bt Connecting thread, I knew I had to make her a quilt with it.  I got some 2.5 inch strips and made her a jelly roll race II quilt.  She loves the top.  I just have to quilt it.  :-)

Finished!!!

I completed Nick's quilt and I love it!! 3 Moda Weeds Charm Pack, 1 red solid charm pack, 1 black solid charm pack and a junior black jelly roll.  I didn't use all of the charm packs as some prints were too floral for a boy's quilt. 

I started it in March, left it along for about 3 weeks and then finished it this past week.  I love it!!!

The 9 patch quilting slog

I've finally put the 9 patch on the machine and have stiched in the ditch (mostly) along the horizontal.  I'm starting the vertical tonight.  I will not SID but will go about .25 or.5 inches away from the seams.  I'll decide before starting. 

New craft love

My lovely hubby got me a sewing machine for Valentine's day and I've been bit by the quilting bug.  I've sewn together 3 quilt tops and made 2 into quilts.  I'm working on the 3rd. 

Updates

It's been forever and a day since I've been on here.  I really should do this more often.  Anyway,  I have started on three other shawls for my 10 in 2010- Ene's Shawl, Shetland Lace triangel and an Ember's Embrace.  None of which are picture worthy right now. 

In regards to my reading challenge.  I have made huge strides as I have finished thirty-eight books so far for 2010.  I am well on my way to my goal of 200!  I hope I can keep up the pace and meet my goal!!!
