Making a Quilt for my 7 yr old grandson Tres

Tres wanted me to make him a quilt, so I had him cut the squares. Needless to say its an FSU quilt. Haven't decided how I'm going to do it yet. Will post pics later.

Update: I inventoried my stash and didnt have enough variety of fabric, so this is postponed for now!

Just joined the Christmas Quilt Project at Patchwork Times through Stitches of Love.
I've never tried a Quilt-Along before, so this will be the first. Sounds like fun. Now to look for fabric for this beautiful quilt. The pattern was $22.00. Check back in and see how I'm doing..

Christmas Stockings for the Cats

I made some Christmas stockings for my sister's cats. Fish template with Christmas Cat fabric. They turned out pretty good.

The embroidery was done on my Singer SEQS 6700 and the embroidery was from  Embroidery Library.

The pattern and instructions can be found here.

Craftsy class Thread Art was exceptional. In fact it was so interesting I watched all the chapters one right after the other. The instructor...was great.

FSU recovered pet chair

Last year I recovered a small foam chair for Max (our miniature Schnauzer). Now he's ready for FSU football every season!. The emblem was done by my dad, I think it was called Needle Punch.
